On June 22, 2023, the City received a formal SB 35 application submittal for a Streamlined Ministerial Design Review, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.4, that proposes a new seven-story 131-unit multi-family residential development with 13 at-grade vehicle parking spaces and 70 bicycle parking spaces. The project applicant proposes to apply the State's Density Bonus Law that allows for increased residential density, incentives, waivers, and parking standards. The project is proposed as an 100% affordable rental unit develooment with deed-restricted 128 units for a minimum 55 years and three manager units. One incentive is proposed by the project applicant for the reduction of the front yard setback. The project site is approximately 0.68 acres (29,905 SF) and located on the northeastern corner of Empire Avenue and North Ontario Street.
