Preliminary plans have been filed for a new residential development at 17535 Santa Cruz Highway in Los Gatos, Santa Clara County.

Lawrence Noon of Wonder Homes Inc. is listed as the property owner.

Each structure will include five or six apartments, private two-car garages per unit, and four bedrooms. Parking will be provided for 90 cars, including two covered spaces per residence and 26 open spots. Of the 32 units, six will be designated as affordable to low-income households. 87,980 square feet of construction.
