Preliminary Plans Filed for 910 Webster Street, Palo Alto

Preliminary plans have been filed for a six-story residential complex at 910 Webster Street in the University South neighborhood of Palo Alto. The project is looking to replace an existing low-slung apartment complex with 70 apartments, including some affordable units. Carrasco & Associates is responsible for the application, filing on behalf of the property owner, Cloverleaf Corporation.

The roughly 85-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 135,070 square feet, not including the two-story basement garage. Parking will be included for 130 cars and 119 bicycles. Unit sizes will vary with six one-bedrooms, 61 two-bedrooms, and three three-bedrooms. The application states that 20% of all units will be deed-restricted as affordable housing, though the levels of affordability have not been specified.

Carrasco & Associates is responsible for the Spanish Revival-style architecture. The structure is designed around a central open-air courtyard on the ground floor. The massing features a series of setbacks to serve as a transition between neighboring buildings, namely the ten-story Channing House apartment complex across the street and the two-story single-family houses that abut the parcel.
