Document Description
The project Includes two component parts: preparation of a Focus Area Plan, to be
incorporated into the General Plan; and the Greystar General Plan Amendment. The
Focus Area Plan would allow, subject to a future planning study, 2,500 dwelling units
beyond those anticipated in the Greystar General Plan Amendment, and 2 million
square feet of additional office space beyond that allowed under the current high intensity office designation.
The Greystar General Plan Amendment proposes to change the General Plan land use designation for the 13.3 acre Greystar site, which is bounded by San Tomas Aquino Creek to the East, Freedom Circle to the West, and Highway 101 to the south from High Intensity Office (maximum Floor Area Ratio of 2.0) to Very High Density Residential (51-100 Dwelling Unit/Acre). Greystar is proposing a total of 1,100 dwelling units in three 7-story buildings, all of which are proposed to be a maximum of 100 feet In height. The proposal also includes a two-acre public park with a connection to the San Tomas Aquino Creek trail.
