Amherst Apartments

The Amherst Apartments project in King City, California, involves the construction of sixteen market rate residential units across eight two story buildings, with each building containing two four bedroom units. The development is situated on a 1.06 acre site and includes 41 parking spaces consisting of 14 carports and 27 uncovered spaces. The project features open space areas with a trellis, trash enclosures, lighting, and landscaping, with building exteriors utilizing a mix of rock, stone work, plaster, stucco, wood siding, paint, and asphalt roofing. This development is governed by several permits, including Conditional Use Permit Case No. CUP25-000012, Architectural Review Permit Case No. ARP26-000001, Variance Permit Case No. VAR26-000001, and Landscaping Plan Review Case No. LPR26-000003. A specific variance has been granted to eliminate the standard one garage per unit requirement and to reduce the required covered parking from sixteen to fourteen spaces due to a utility easement on the property. Additionally, the project has been granted a Class 32 categorical exemption for in fill development under CEQA Guidelines, confirming its consistency with the General Plan and zoning while asserting no significant environmental impacts.
