Cantu Apartments Project

The Cantu Apartments Project involves the development of a 16-unit apartment complex on approximately 0.70 acres in Mendota, California. The site consists of APN 013-241-19 and a 0.26-acre portion of Tule Street proposed for abandonment. The project includes an 1,802 square foot open space area with a playground, a 25-stall parking lot featuring one ADA stall, and other minor site improvements. To facilitate this development, the Mendota City Council approved a general plan amendment and a rezone from Medium High Density Residential (R-1) to High Density Residential (R-3). The project has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), resulting in a Negative Declaration adopted on July 7, 2026, which found no significant environmental effects and required no mitigation measures. Construction is scheduled to begin on December 1, 2026, with an estimated 12-month duration and an operational date in 2028. The project is overseen by the City of Mendota, with key points of contact including City Planner Jeffrey O'Neal and City Manager Cristian Gonzalez, and technical support provided by Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group. Performance standards include compliance with the City of Mendota Noise Control Ordinance, AB 32 GHG Emission Thresholds, and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District regulations.
