The project, titled Sutter Creek, would be built atop a 27-acre contractor yard. The land owners, Richard Walters and Kevin Thompson of BRP Holdings, LLC., initially proposed a 186-unit development in March 2010.

The request for exceptions to some city zoning rules still will have to be approved by City Council before Trader Joe’s can move forward with construction.
