The developers of 1900 Fourth St. intend to sue the city of Berkeley if expedited development of their project is not approved.

More than 50 community members packed the room — with more people than chairs available — for the Landmarks Preservation Commission meeting Thursday to protest development at 1900 Fourth St., also known as the West Berkeley Shellmound.

On Monday night, members of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board voted to oppose state Senate Bill 35 regarding the creation of affordable housing until amendments are made to clarify and make the bill more inclusive.
