The San Ramon Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans tonight for a residential infill project at 3180 Crow Canyon Place in San Ramon, Contra Costa County. The proposal would replace four office structures with over a hundred townhomes and a 45-unit affordable apartment complex behind the Crow Canyon Commons shopping center. Brookfield Residential is responsible for the application on behalf of the property owner, Cranbrook Realty Investment Fund.

The application invokes Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process. The proposal calls for 164 units, with 119 for-sale townhouses, 45 affordable apartments, and parking for 285 vehicles. Across the site, there will be 51 townhouses designed that could accommodate an optional accessory dwelling unit, which could conceivably bring the overall residential capacity to 215 units at full build-out.
KTGY Group is the project architect, with Gates Studio overseeing the landscape architecture. Renderings show a similar aesthetic approach to the townhouses and the affordable housing, including some angled shingle roofing, facade articulation, and inset balconies.

The 7.2-acre property is located at the end of Crow Canyon Place, positioned behind a big-box shopping center and an off-ramp from Highway 680. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared.
The public study session is scheduled to start tonight, Tuesday, July 7th, starting at 6 PM. The event will take place in the Council Chambers and online via Zoom. For more information about how to attend and participate, visit the meeting notice here.

Whew there’s going to be some intense pollution from 680 on this parcel. Hopefully the future residents will all have sufficient healthcare to pay for asthma treatment and eventual lung cancer.
Indeed! The response for more housing from the valley-chain of cities (Alamo, Danville, San Ramon) is to put renters along the freeway. I’m one of them in Danville! The air is not great and the sound overwhelming at times. But it’s the only land in this towns that’s acceptable to the locals / privileged class for multi-family dwellings.
I lived across from 680 for about 6mos back in the 70s and never heard a sound, smelled anything. That cement wall was amazing. I truly expected it to be as you are saying. But not so.
