Spaans Drive Apartments Conditional Use Permit

The Spaans Drive Apartments Conditional Use Permit involves the development of a new 37-unit apartment complex located at 695, 700, 705, and 710 Spaans Drive in the City of Galt, California. Situated within a Commercial zoning district, the project consists of four separate buildings, including three three-story apartment buildings and one single-story manager unit. Additional site amenities include an on-site laundry facility, 65 parking spaces, new landscaping, and a common area equipped with a small playground. The project site is specifically located north of Amador Avenue, east of Industrial Drive, south of Pringle Avenue, and west of N. Lincoln Way, covering assessor parcel numbers 150-0041-064, -065, -066, and -067. The project received approval from the Galt Planning Commission on December 11, 2025, and requires a Conditional Use Permit for multiple-family use in the C-zone as well as a Design Review for the architectural elements. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been granted a categorical exemption for Infill Development Projects pursuant to Section 15332, as it is consistent with the general plan, located in an urban area, and presents no significant environmental effects or habitat value. The City of Galt serves as the lead agency for this project, with Associate Planner Stacy Schafer acting as the primary point of contact.
