"City Connect submitted a builder's remedy application in September 2023 for a 231-unit development on a 11.5-acre site at 14001 Chester Ave. However, residents were concerned about the size of the project. Two years later, the developers submitted an alternative application for a 64-unit development that conformed to Saratoga's General Plan and zoning. The new development includes six very-low income units, six moderate-income units and 26 density bonus units."
"According to the city's agreement with the developers, city staff will pause processing the builder's remedy application if the city approves their new application by Feb. 26. That deadline will be extended to March 4 if the planning commission's decision is appealed. If Saratoga approves City Connect's application for the 64-unit development by April 15, then the developers would withdraw the builder's remedy project application."
In September 2023 City Connect filed a builder's remedy application for a 231-unit development on an 11.5-acre site at 14001 Chester Ave. Residents raised concerns about project size. Two years later the developers submitted an alternative application for a 64-unit project that conforms to Saratoga's General Plan and zoning. The revised proposal includes six very-low income units, six moderate-income units and 26 density bonus units. City staff reviewed the builder's remedy filing and prepared an environmental impact report. A tolling agreement pauses processing of the builder's remedy application if the city approves the new application by specified deadlines; otherwise the city will resume processing the builder's remedy application.
