996 Loraine Avenue - Mixed Use Development

The City of Los Altos is overseeing the 996 Loraine Avenue Mixed Use Development project in Los Altos, California. This project involves a Vesting Tentative Map to subdivide a 0.2-acre site into 13 condominium lots and one common lot. The development features a previously approved three-story mixed-use building consisting of 962 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 12 residential units, including two designated low-income units, at a density of 60 units per acre. The project has been granted a statutory exemption under PRC 21080.66, as it aligns with the General Plan and Zoning designations and does not impact sensitive habitats or historic structures. Key preliminary requirements have been met, including the completion of tribal consultations and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Due to the project's height and the fact that it is not a 100 percent affordable housing project, it is not subject to prevailing wage requirements. Sean Gallegos, Senior Planner, serves as the primary point of contact for the agency.
