911 Duane Avenue redevelopment and neighborhood retail loss
Sunnyvale
Summary
A developer proposes replacing most of Fair Oaks Plaza with 67 homes and only about 18,500 square feet of retail — roughly a 70% cut. Residents fear losing their walkable grocery and restaurants, worse traffic on Duane, and a North Sunnyvale food desert. A staff deadline miss limits the city's leverage to force changes.
