SUNNYVALE, Calif. (KGO) — Plans to tear down old office buildings to put up nearly 400 new homes in Sunnyvale could come at a price.<\/p>\n

A popular Greek restaurant would have to go.<\/p>\n

For 16 years, Agape Grill has been serving hearty meals for lunch and customers love it.<\/p>\n

But, word is spreading that the restaurant will have to close next year to make room for new homes going in.<\/p>\n

“The food is excellent. I’m very disappointed and sad to hear they might be closing down,” said Kimi Tran, a Santa Clara resident.<\/p>\n

Sunnyvale’s planning commission has green-lighted a new plan to replace several old office buildings on De Guigne Drive. 370-residential units would go up in one business lot, and 30 in another lot.<\/p>\n

That mean’s Agape Grill will have to pack up and move somewhere else.<\/p>\n

“It’s heartbreaking. But there’s nothing we can do about it,” said Allen Francis, co-owner of Agape Grill,” said Allen Frances, co-owner of Agape Grill. “We need to find a new location. But everything is kind of expensive because of inflation.”<\/p>\n

We reached out to the planning commission for comment.<\/p>\n

They were unavailable.<\/p>\n

The commission voted 6 -0 on Monday approving the project. The chair previously said that there is a housing crisis and commended the plan for including a variety of housing options including ADU’s.<\/p>\n

As part of the proposal, there would be new single family homes built along De Guigne Drive. They would be 3 stories high. And then on a side street-Stewart Road, there would be 3-story town homes.<\/p>\n

Neighbors in the area are concerned about the housing development.<\/p>\n

“There are going to be traffic safety issues and parking issues,” said May Xu, a concerned resident.<\/p>\n

“Based out on the layout we’ve seen, they’re all 4-5-bedroom homes. Three-story homes. Based on the market in this area, they’re going to be multi-million dollar homes,” said neighbor Miya Griffie. “We support building 2721 and we know there’s a housing crisis. But we don’t see how building 370 multimillion homes help affordable housing.”<\/p>\n

Neighbors have filed an appeal. The city says Sunnyvale City Council will review that in the next 30 days.<\/p>\n
