Large Baseline Road redevelopment called up for more council review
Summary
Council called up the site-review for a proposed mixed-use redevelopment at 2952 Baseline Road — about 427 dwelling units (122 student units) and 58,365 sq ft commercial space — after Planning Board approval with conditions; call-up passed 7–2.
Council members on Oct. 23 voted to call up the site review for a proposed mixed-use redevelopment at 2952 Baseline Road, a project that would redevelop roughly 7.96 acres of an approximately 9.6-acre site into five new buildings containing a total of 427 dwelling units, including 122 units for students, and about 58,365 square feet of commercial space.
Planning staff presented the proposal and its recent Planning Board review. Chandler Venscock of Planning and Development Services summarized the project’s scope, existing on-site uses (including Sprouts market, the Broker Inn and other longstanding businesses), proposed access reductions and new pedestrian and multi-use-path connections. Venscock said the Planning Board approved the request on Sept. 30, 2025, by a 6–1 vote and added conditions that include programmatic active open space on site and additional electrified bicycle parking.
Multiple council members said the scale, massing and façade articulation warrant closer Council review; they cited the project’s prominence at an entry point to the city and requested more detailed design work. Councilmember Tara Weiner and others moved to call up the Planning Board decision for further council deliberation; the motion carried 7–2.
Council referred an earlier, related concept plan for nearby addresses (5469 and 5515 South Boulder Road, LUR202500057) to the Design Advisory Board for additional comment as well.
