1700 El Camino Real Residential Development

San Mateo

Description

A proposed eight-story, roughly 95-foot housing project filling a three-acre lot with little to no setbacks, directly abutting single-family homes. A resident asked the council to push for a tiered design and relocate the tall wall away from homes.

Impact summary

Neighbors estimate they could lose most winter sunlight and are asking for design changes to soften the transition to single-family homes.
