Updated plans have been filed for a suburban infill at 4103 Old Trace Road in Palo Alto, close to the city’s border with Los Altos Hills and the Santa Cruz mountain range. Plans for the vacant lot include a mix of single-family homes and accessory dwelling units, with an additional unit compared to the preliminary application. Steel Bridge Capital is responsible for the application.

The proposal will subdivide the existing one-acre lot into nine residential parcels and a common area for the street network and utilities. The project will include 16 dwelling units across seven structures. This includes six detached single-family houses and junior ADUs, and two attached single-family apartments with junior ADUs. One of the attached single-family units and the associated ADU will be deed-restricted as affordable to moderate-income households earning 100% of the area’s median income.
Ponderosa Architecture is responsible for the design. Illustrations from the Salt Lake City-based studio depict a fairly uninspiring collection of styles applied to two-story wood-frame structures. Facade materials will include stucco, stone-veneer, wood siding, and composite panels.

The property is located at the corner of Old Trace Road and Arastradero Road. The property is close to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with easy access to trails and open space. The closest grocery store is nearly two miles away in Mountain View along El Camino Real.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared.

“The update on 4103 Old Trace Road looks like a solid step for suburban infill, even if Ponderosa’s design feels a bit uninspiring for Palo Alto. Since the site is right near the Santa Cruz foothills and a couple of miles from the nearest grocery store, it’s definitely going to change the local dynamic. I was actually reading a community discussion regarding the environmental and health safety guidelines for developments so close to the open spaces, and someone mentioned compliance checklists from guiadebetnacionalbrasil.com — does anyone know if Steel Bridge Capital has already addressed those specific local environmental impact reports, or where we can find the finalized community feedback documents?”
What year will they be teady
