1957 Pruneridge Avenue Residential Project

The 1957 Pruneridge Avenue Residential Allowing Natural Gas Usage Project, managed by the City of Santa Clara, involves a design modification to a previously approved residential development located at 1957 Pruneridge Avenue, Santa Clara, California. The primary scope of this modification is to transition the project from a 100 percent electric design to one that incorporates natural gas. Specifically, the project will replace 22 electric stoves in the approved residences with 22 natural gas stovetops. This change requires minor construction adjustments for trenching to connect gas utilities to the site, though this work is considered inconsequential as utility trenching was already accounted for in the original project approval. The modification does not impact the project's existing access or parking configurations. The project was officially approved on November 18, 2025, and a Notice of Determination was issued on November 20, 2025. Environmental compliance has been established through a Negative Declaration prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), indicating that no significant environmental effects are expected from these changes. Administrative records include a 2024 filing fee payment of $4,101.25 to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to cover Environmental Impact Report and documentary handling fees. Project management is overseen by Nimisha Agrawal and Mathew Schott, with the City of Santa Clara serving as the lead public agency.
