A preliminary application has been filed to construct over a thousand affordable housing units along Airport Boulevard and Brickway Boulevard near Santa Rosa in unincorporated Sonoma County. The filing invokes the Builder’s Remedy to sidestep local zoning and develop the vacant parcel of land next to a small domestic airport between Santa Rosa and Windsor. Gallaher Community Housing is the project sponsor.
Mollie Stone’s Market has filed an alternative SB330 pre-application for the Builder’s Remedy-assisted proposal at 156 California Avenue in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. The application gives minor updates to the design and parcel separation, though the applicant has specified that the prior application is not being withdrawn. Both plans, sponsored by REDCO Development, would create Palo Alto’s tallest residential building.
New permits have been filed for a second property by the same developer along El Camino in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County. Vittoria Management has filed plans for a 315-unit apartment complex at 3606 El Camino Real, just blocks away from their second project at 3781 El Camino Real. Both plans use the Builder’s Remedy to bypass local zoning and expedite approval.
New plans have been filed for 3781 El Camino Real in Palo Alto. The project team will use Senate Bill 330 and the Builder’s Remedy provision to bypass the notoriously anti-housing local government, streamline approval, and construct over a hundred homes. Vittoria Management is the project sponsor.
Belvedere City Council recently pushed forward the residential proposal along Mallard Pointe, Marin County. The 40-unit project is the city’s largest housing development to get greenlit in decades despite stiff resistance from local NIMBYs. If the project had been rejected, the developer was prepared to pursue a much larger infill using the Builder’s Remedy.
