The Santa Clara City Council has approved a development project featuring 1,792 apartments in North Santa Clara designed to promote livable, walkable neighborhoods. Situated at 2518 Mission College Blvd, the project includes a 4.2-acre public park and retail space. However, concerns arise regarding the insufficient retail offerings for residents. Local leaders advocate for thoughtful planning to enhance community integration and livability, while housing advocates suggest the project could have accommodated more units by increasing the building height to better serve the area's housing demands.
The Santa Clara City Council's recent approval of a 1,792-apartment development is a significant step towards addressing housing needs in North Santa Clara.
While the project emphasizes housing, critics have pointed out that it lacks sufficient retail space for residents, which could diminish the community's livability.
District 1 Councilmember Albert Gonzalez stresses the importance of well-planned development that allows residents to feel like part of the community.
Catalyze SV Executive Director Alex Shoor noted that more housing could have been included in the Santa Clara Park project by adding extra floors.
