Staff outlines schedule and status for multiple Danville projects, EIR timeline and litigation updates
Summary
Planning staff reported that Village Apartments will be scheduled for Feb. 24, 2026; The Ivy is beginning hazardous-materials remediation; the Martin Hills Ranch draft EIR will be released for 45-day review; and the Builders Remedy (Sycamore Hills) application remains tied up in litigation over an easement.
Planning staff provided a series of project updates at the Jan. 27 meeting.
Staff said the Village Apartments project is scheduled for the commission meeting on Feb. 24. The bowling alley site has had little activity since its approval last year. "The Ivy" project is initiating hazardous-materials remediation this week; once remediation is complete, staff said grading and building permits can be issued and the applicant has submitted applications ready to be issued pending remediation.
Staff reported that NOVA met with Ivy representatives and expects the closure at that site in about two months. Construction activity was also noted at a 375 West (El Pentado) site; the Darby site has seen little recent activity. For the Martin Hills Ranch rezoning (from R-4 to P-1), staff said the draft environmental impact report is being finalized and will be released for a 45-day public review and scoping period, with public hearings likely next summer and a town council review required for rezoning.
Regarding a Builders Remedy application identified as Sycamore Hills (above Garabolo Highlands), staff said the application was at one point deemed incomplete, appealed, and the court subsequently found it complete; the application remains subject to litigation over an easement to an HOA parcel and site access is unresolved.
