924-940 San Rafael Avenue Rowhouse Project

The 924-940 San Rafael Avenue Rowhouse Project is a redevelopment initiative by the City of Mountain View, California, located on an approximately 1.8-acre site. The project involves the demolition of existing commercial and residential structures to construct 36 three-story rowhome units distributed across five building complexes. Site improvements include two-car garages on the first floors, solar photovoltaic panels, communal trash enclosures, a six-foot wooden boundary fence, and an open space area along the northern boundary. The development must adhere to Title 24, CALGreen, and MVGBC requirements, utilizing energy-efficient appliances and drought-tolerant landscaping. The project is subject to comprehensive environmental and regulatory oversight, including a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. Key assessments have addressed air quality, noise, vibration, and utility impacts, with specific mitigation measures required to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions by 60%. Environmental due diligence included Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and additional sampling to address historical contamination from underground storage tanks and hazardous materials. The performance period is scheduled from January 1, 2026, to February 25, 2027, encompassing phases for demolition, site preparation, grading, trenching, building construction, architectural coating, and paving. All activities must comply with Cal/OSHA safety standards and require a site-specific Health and Safety Plan.
