RICHMOND — A controversial plan to build a mixed-used project with thousands of homes atop a contaminated site can move forward after the City Council approved the necessary permits, development agreement and environmental mitigation measures for the development Tuesday.

Plans for the site by the developer, Shopoff Realty Investments, call for building between 2,000 to 4,000 housing units and up to 50,000 square feet of retail space on the site, which was once owned by the Zeneca (now AstraZeneca) pharmaceutical company and lies east of Marina Bay and west of Interstate 580 in southeastern Richmond.
