MARTINEZ — A seemingly simple three-story, 24-unit apartment complex has pitted Contra Costa County’s top legislative officials against their own appointed housing advisors — illustrating a stark difference in opinion about how local governments should build homes in the East Bay.

Located less than two miles inland from the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, a proposed 22,000-square-foot building is poised to replace long-overgrown weeds on a 0.77-acre lot near the intersection of Windhover Way and Pacheco Boulevard — a plot of land that has sat vacant in unincorporated Martinez since 1989.
