"A local grassroots effort with more than 450 online signatures wants to stop a 40-home affordable development along Mary Avenue. The project proposes a first-of-its-kind housing mix of 19 homes for adults and families with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and 20 homes for low-income residents. Those homes would eliminate 89 parking spaces and the multiple feet they take up near hundreds of apartments, townhomes and single-family homes,"
"The project, proposed by affordable housing developer Charities Housing, doesn't need City Council approval of its entitlements since it would be on a 0.79-acre site listed in Cupertino's state-mandated housing plan. But it still needs councilmembers to approve legal documents because it's on city-owned land. Development officials said the city hasn't given a timeline for that, which has delayed construction originally planned for the end of next year."
A proposed 40-home, 100% affordable development on a 0.79-acre city-owned site on Mary Avenue would include 19 homes for adults and families with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and 20 homes for low-income residents. The plan would remove 89 parking spaces near hundreds of nearby apartments, townhomes and single-family homes, prompting neighborhood safety and parking concerns and a grassroots petition with over 450 signatures. The developer Charities Housing does not require City Council entitlement approval because the site is in the state-mandated housing plan, but council approval of legal documents is still required, and the city has not set a timeline, delaying construction.
