""No other city in Santa Clara County is projected to have nearly 25% of its land area affected by SB 79. In terms of proportional impact relative to existing housing units, Campbell may experience the highest increase.""
""The law allows for construction of high-rise apartment buildings within a half-mile of major transit stops without regard to local zoning rules, which could massively change the look and feel of the small city.""
A new state law, Senate Bill 79, allows Campbell to potentially add over 40,000 homes, tripling its population. The City Council is planning to manage this development surge. The law permits high-rise apartments within a half-mile of major transit stops, affecting nearly a quarter of Campbell's land area. If fully developed, the city would accommodate 40,409 additional homes, significantly impacting its housing landscape. Councilmembers are concerned about maintaining a balanced community with jobs alongside housing.
