Fremont DRAFT General Plan Update

The project involves the approval of a 105-unit multi-family condominium development at 38453–38539 Mission Boulevard in Fremont, California, with 15 on-site affordable units, requiring a Discretionary Design Review Permit, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, and concessions under the State Density Bonus Law. The site includes the Register-eligible Ellsworth House Resource, necessitating specific environmental and historic preservation considerations. The development aligns with the Fremont General Plan and zoning regulations and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Sections 15332 (infill development) and 15183 (consistency with the General Plan). Mitigation measures for impacts such as vehicle miles traveled, air quality, noise, stormwater, and biological resources are mandated under Fremont Municipal Code standards, including FMC 18.218.050, and VMT reduction must be verified using the Alameda CTC calculator. The City of Fremont serves as the lead agency for environmental review and project approval, with the Planning Division overseeing administrative processes. The project’s location is clearly defined within the 94538 zip code, and key stakeholders include the City’s Associate Planner Marc Cleveland and the developer’s Project Manager William Sadler. Although federal acquisition regulations are not applicable, the project follows state and local land use procedures with no formal contract pricing, payment terms, or procurement clauses documented. No contractual performance dates are specified, but environmental approval was posted on November 14, 2025, and the site survey was completed on January 30, 2025, indicating the project is in advanced planning stages.
