Today, Santa Clara’s Development Review Hearing is scheduled to review plans for Clara Gardens, a fully affordable residential complex at 3550 El Camino Real. The housing proposal will preserve an existing hotel and replace surface parking with a seven-story apartment building. Berkeley-based RCD Housing is responsible for the project as the property owner.
The pre-application permit has been filed for a small residential infill at 10520 MacArthur Boulevard by Foothill Square in Oakland. The proposal will build on top of a single-story medical facility at the corner of MacArthur and 106th Avenue, adding three residential floors. U First Health Partners LLC is responsible for the application.
The Victorian-era home to Poor House Bistro has been moved from 91 South Autumn Street to 317 West St. John Street in Little Italy, San Jose. The relocation comes ahead of Downtown West, Google’s massive plans to redevelop the low-density area surrounding Diridon Station with high-density offices, housing, and retail. Project site maps indicate 91 South Autumn Street will be replaced with an office building.
A pre-application permit has been filed for residential plans at 430 Broadway, in Oakland, located by Jack London Square. Additional reporting states the developers are planning yet more housing at the vacant structure on 401 Broadway, with roughly 600 new homes in the works. The filing is by Related and the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation.
New illustrations have been revealed with an exploratory planning application for the 24-story residential development at 600 Castro Street in West Oakland. The renderings show the upzoned massing, 190 feet higher than its current zoning for 85 feet. The proposal is yet another beneficiary of California’s State Density Bonus Program, which aims to increase residential development with affordable units for the housing-starved state.
