Nazareth Vista — 616 South B Street
San Mateo
Description
An eight-story mixed-use building with 94 rental units (10 very low-income affordable), ground-floor retail, and 113 parking stalls, replacing the Kelly Moore Paints and Tap Plastics buildings. Approved with a density bonus doubling base density and exceeding the height limit by two stories.
Impact summary
Replaces two one-story commercial buildings with much-needed housing near Caltrain and downtown, but neighbors worry about roughly 900 new daily car trips, trucks on Sixth Avenue, and pedestrian safety.
