Preliminary permits have been filed for a six-story residential development at 1990 South El Camino Real in San Mateo, San Mateo County. The pre-application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process for a 43-unit corner apartment complex with ground-floor retail. LF George Properties Corp. is responsible for the development.

The 80-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 110,720 square feet, including roughly 61,000 square feet for housing, 2,640 square feet of retail, and 29,700 square feet of parking. The three-level basement garage will provide space for 38 cars, with unspecified space for bicycles. Unit types vary with nine one-bedrooms, 30 two-bedrooms, and four three-bedrooms. Residential amenities will be located on the second floor, including a social lounge and fitness center.
Costa Brown Architecture is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a curtain-wall glass structure with angular elements and a slight cantilever over the sidewalk. The project will feature a triangular corner, with an open ground-floor space providing access to three retail spaces and a residential lobby. The ground floor will be organized around a central open-air atrium above a sculpture piece.

The 0.3-acre property is located at the corner of South El Camino Real and West 20th Avenue, abutting a grocery store-anchored retail shopping center.
The project will designate five units as affordable to low-income households. This inclusion allowed the developer to invoke the State Density Bonus law and Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process and increase residential capacity. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.

Great!! But it should be 10 floors as a minimum to get the most out of the space from each project.
