Branford Point Development Project

Branford Point Development Project

The Project Applicant is proposing a General Plan Amendment, Annexation, Rezone/Prezone, and a Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) to facilitate the development of approximately 48 acres into a mixed-use development project. The Project will feature a variety of uses including, multi-family housing, commercial, hospitality and research and development office spaces. Residential development is proposed on lots 1 – 4 and 9 – 10 of the TSM while commercial development is proposed over lots 5 – 8 of the TSM. The proposal features several different types of housing for a total of up to 700 residential units at buildout and is broken down as follows: affordable housing – maximum of 98 units; apartments – maximum of 372 units; and townhomes – maximum of 230 units. The proposed Project also includes up to 16.1 acres of commercial development (for a total of approximately 778,853 square feet of commercial area). The commercial developments will occur in the proposed Regional/Central Commercial Zone (C-C), which allows a diversity of commercial and residential uses. The commercial facilities are located to provide efficient accessibility to residents of the Project and the surrounding areas. Various other infrastructure improvements (water, stormwater and wastewater infrastructure, roadway improvements, and related improvements) will be required by the Project.
