Council approves tentative map to subdivide 68 Willow Road into 50 condominiums
Summary
After a planning‑staff presentation and brief public comment in support, the council adopted a resolution approving a tentative subdivision map for 68 Willow Road that would create 50 condominium parcels; the applicant expects to file building permits and begin construction late summer.
Planning staff presented a tentative subdivision and associated design approvals for the property at 68 Willow Road. Chris Turner said the Planning Commission reviewed the project on May 4, 2026 and recommended approval of use permits and architectural control, and staff found the map compliant with subdivision‑map law.
One public speaker who serves on the housing commission (appearing as a resident) said the location is walkable and supported the project. The applicant’s design representative (Jeff of SDG architects) said building‑permit applications are being prepared and that construction is planned to begin late summer.
Council asked clarifying questions about heritage‑tree removals and replacements; staff explained that tree‑removal permits had been considered by Planning and that replacement options or fees‑in‑lieu were part of the approved architectural‑control package and had not been appealed. Councilmember ComS moved to adopt the resolution approving the tentative map; the motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Wise and passed unanimously.
Next steps: the applicant will submit final mapping and building‑permit applications, and planning staff will monitor required permit conditions and any required mitigation measures.
