3155 El Camino Real Residential Project

The 3155 El Camino Real Residential Project in Santa Clara, California, involves the rezoning of property from Thoroughfare Commercial to Planned Development to facilitate the construction of 60 for-sale residential condominiums and a common lot. The scope of work includes the demolition of a surface parking lot and three one-story commercial pad buildings totaling 27,780 square feet. As a condition of the project, the applicant, Toll Brothers, is required to remove a deteriorated roadway bridge from 1968 located on Valley Water fee title property because it does not meet current city codes. This removal process involves saw-cutting the top of the bridge and removing the center supporting column while leaving the lower box culvert section in place. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with a certified Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ensuring no significant environmental impacts. Implementation requires an encroachment permit from the Santa Clara Valley Water District, which serves as a responsible agency alongside the lead agency, the City of Santa Clara. Administrative oversight is managed by key personnel including Nimisha Agrawal and Debby Fernandez from the City of Santa Clara, and Lisa Holm from the Santa Clara Valley Water District. All associated fees are payable to the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder.
