New Multi-Family Residential Development (PA-2025-063)
San Mateo
Description
A seven-story, 232-unit rental building with 31 below-market-rate units, 277 parking spaces, and a voluntary crosswalk at Elkhorn Court and W. 20th. The council approved it 5-0 despite fierce opposition over Elkhorn Court traffic and safety.
Impact summary
Adds roughly 995 daily vehicle trips to a constrained cul-de-sac serving a childcare center and adult day program; the developer offered loading zones, crosswalks, red curbs, noise barriers, and reserved Shriners parking as mitigation.
