The San Ramon Planning Commission convened on April 18, 2025, to discuss a significant housing development project located at 2301 Camino Ramon. The proposed project encompasses an 11-acre site within the downtown mixed-use north general plan and zoning designation. It aims to replace three existing office buildings with a total of 95 residential units, including 28 attached multifamily homes and 67 detached single-family homes.
The development is designed to include a mix of three- and four-bedroom units, all three stories high, with each unit offering two parking spaces in a garage. Additionally, the project proposes 52 surface guest parking spaces. The site will feature internal streets for circulation and pocket parks for community amenities.

The project plans to provide 29 affordable units, with a focus on increasing the number of very low-income units to qualify for a state density bonus. This bonus allows for certain concessions, including a waiver for reduced floor area ratio (FAR) and adjustments to parking requirements.
The project has undergone multiple reviews, including sessions with the Architectural Review Board, which recommended approval and provided design feedback. The Planning Commission is expected to deliberate on the proposal, take public testimony, and potentially adopt a resolution to move forward with the project.
Overall, this development represents a significant step in addressing housing needs in San Ramon, aligning with the city’s goals for increased residential opportunities while adhering to state regulations on affordable housing.
