On Monday, the Danville Planning Commission recommended approval of some proposed condos and housing for elderly and assisted living residents. J. Cubas Holdings LLC is under contract for the purchase of 22.5 acres of an undeveloped wooded area on Goodyear Blvd.

J. Cubas Holdings LLC is planning to build 240 condos and 180 assisted living units on the property. The planning commission recommended approval of the project pending the results of transportation and parking studies.

The commission also recommended approval of a new battery storage facility on Mt. Cross Road. Lightshift™ Energy, with a land use lease agreement with the City of Danville, is requesting to install a battery storage facility with a capacity of up to 12 megawatts of energy storage at 900 Mt Cross Road. The proposed facility will provide local energy storage in an effort to lower rising transmission, capacity and congestion charges. This will provide benefits to ratepayers of Danville Utilities. The energy storage will interconnect with the  City’s electric system.

Both projects will now be voted on by Danville City Council.
