so you may need those wipers intermittently. light to moderate rain, 4/10 of an inch expected. brief, gusty winds. the hour-by-hour forecast showing the showers around midnight, 2:00 a.m., and then the morning commute will include wet roadways. pretty much for all of the bay area between five and 8:00 a.m. is the main rain event. that's not our only chance. we'll be back with a full look at the accuweather 7-day coming right up. >> of course you can keep track of the weather conditions where you live with the abc 7 news app. track the rain on live doppler 7 and get updates from our weather team. a long delayed plan to build thousands of apartments on the ground of the old concord naval weapons station could get a big boost or maybe face more delays. >> the city council hoped to make a decision last night but the meeting on the development turned into a 6-hour marathon because of public comment on the

the local building trades council over how much union labor should be used. >> that lennar's financial models always assume nonunion wages for the vertical construction. >> lennar and partner 5 point construction say they can't make money using all union workers and the trades council knows that. >> they have stated they intend to lobby you and to find another developer who may be more malleable and perhaps less concerned about the project economics. >> concord mayor says the purpose of the city council meeting is to determine whether lennar is following through with terms it agreed to when it accepted the project, including the number of union workers. >> the goal is to have a robust conversation. there's probably going to be other things brought up as well. >> the city says if everything goes right, it will be worth the wait. >> in the plan, you can see we've got 25% affordable housing, which is significant, very few projects in the entire bay area have that sort of the

affordable housing commitment. >> reporter: so if the city council finds lennar in compliance, then things can move on with the first 500 acres of that site being developed at some point. if it is found not to be in compliance, well, that gets a little stickier, lennar could leave this project forcing the city to find another master developer or take over the project itself, which would be hugely expensive. live in concord, eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> eric, thank you. well, congress is keeping a very close eye on facebook in 2020. >> the response from an executive on capitol hill today after lawmakers criticized the company's policy on manipulated videos. a business is handing out tents to homeless people in several cities. several citihy some say it's ri exploitive. plus, california could be banning gas powered garden tools to cut down on emissions.
