BACKGROUND
The Santa Clara City Code Chapter 17.35 Park and Recreational Land requires new residential developments to provide developed parkland and recreational amenities pursuant to the California Quimby Act (Quimby) and/or the Mitigation Fee Act (MFA), and/or pay a fee in-lieu thereof. The City has received a development application from Mission Point by Kylli (Project). The Project proposes the development of a 46-acre site that will have 3,000,000 +/- square feet of commercial office/lab space, 100,000 +/- square feet of neighborhood retail, 1,800 new multi-family residential units, a childcare facility, indoor and outdoor community spaces, a neighborhood park, and a trail.
The Project application is pending City review and will include an amendment to the General Plan to change the zoning from High-Intensity Office/Research to allow a high-intensity mix of office, commercial, and residential uses. During the formal application process, plans are submitted to City staff for review and analysis. Various community meetings and public hearings are then held to gather input and feedback from stakeholders. The City Council has the ultimate authority to approve an application during public hearings. For this project, this will take place at a future date.
