232-Unit Housing Development at 220 W. 20th Avenue

San Mateo

Summary

A seven-story apartment project next to Asiya Shriners, Little Bloom Child Care, and Partners for Independence sparked intense debate over traffic, parking, and safety on Elkhorn Court. State housing law gave the council almost no room to deny it, so the focus shifted to safety conditions and ongoing collaboration between the developer and neighbors.
