The San Ramon Planning Commission is set to review and consider a vote Tuesday on a proposed housing development on Crow Canyon Court that aims to take the place of existing office space.

The proposed Woodside Canyon project would consist of 54 for-sale multifamily units, three of which would be designated as affordable housing for very-low-income households. The applicant, Kian Malek of San Francisco-based City Ventures, is requesting one incentive concession, three waivers and adjusted parking ratios based on the state’s density bonus law.

The commission is set to review the development plan, subdivision, tree removal permit and environmental applications for the project, and hold a public hearing on the project before considering it for approval.

In addition to the 54 housing units proposed for the project, it would consist of 108 garage spaces and 13 guest and resident parking spaces as well as landscape improvements, and the demolition of the existing office building on the 2.91 acre site at 18 Crow Canyon Court in the northeastern part of the city near the Danville border.

The existing office building was approved on Feb. 2, 1983, as part of the city’s initial incorporation. Since then, the site has been subject to a specific plan and other amendments approved in the current General Plan, which shifted it from a mixed-use designation to a medium-high-density residential designation. 

The preliminary housing development application was submitted on May 8, with the current applications up for review and consideration by the commission having been initially submitted on June 28. The proposed project was discussed at a July 16 study session, with the applicant resubmitting project plans incorporating feedback following that meeting.

The city’s Architectural Review Board voted to recommend the project for approval at their Nov. 14 meeting.

In addition to the three units reserved for very low income households, the project is set to include one unit affordable to low-income households and four affordable units for moderate-income households.

The San Ramon Planning Commission is set to meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday (Dec. 3). The agenda is available here.
