Summary
After extended public comment and legal briefing, the East Palo Alto City Council approved two Sandhill Property Company projects at 1675 Bay Road: a 106-unit for-sale townhome development (including 11 below-market-rate units) and a 168-unit mixed-use building (including 25 affordable units).

The East Palo Alto City Council on March 4 approved two housing projects at 1675 Bay Road after an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial.
The developments, submitted by Sandhill Property Company, would split the roughly 6.03-acre site into a 4.61-acre townhome parcel and a 1.45-acre mixed-use parcel. Mike Kramer, Sandhill's representative, said the townhome plan includes 106 for-sale units with 11 below-market-rate homes and two on-site garage spaces per unit; the mixed-use building would add 168 rental apartments with 25 below-market-rate units and roughly 5,500 square feet of ground-floor retail. Kramer said the projects would be all-electric, include substantial new landscaping and pedestrian connections to nearby Jack Farrell Park, and would pay about $8 million in development-impact and infrastructure fees to the city and local agencies.
