NDC and FCL is in partnership with Opticos Design to conduct a feasibility study on a City-owned 12-acre parcel. The feasibility study aimed to provide the city staff with insights into site carrying capacity, unit yield, parking strategy, and financial feasibility(proforma). We tested various housing types, including affordable apartments, affordable seniors, affordable ownership, and missing middle housing, totaling 450 housing units. The findings from the feasibility study will inform the RFP process, define the baseline land use program and unit mix, and support negotiations with private development partners. NDC is also guiding on phasing and land banking for the future, rezoning the site for higher densities, forming a joint venture public-private partnership structure, and creating a community engagement process.

The Pomona Unified School District owns eighteen (18) sites, many of which are partially or fully underutilized, leading to significant annual asset management costs to the school district. FCL conducted a land uses and zoning analysis, followed by site-specific feasibility studies of seven (7) sites, to help the district understand the highest and best use of these sites. FCL tested a variety of land uses, including single-family homes, townhomes, workforce housing, retail, and community facilities.

The school district is considering disposing of six(6) sites under their ownership. Most of these sites are elementary schools that have closed due to low enrollment. FCL collaborated with 3D Strategies to guide the school district in understanding the highest and best use of the six (6) and create a feasible strategy to dispose of each site. The 6 sites studied under this study were distributed in 4 different market areas. Each market area offers its own unique challenges and opportunities. Some are stronger today and others have promising long-term opportunities in 5 to 10 years.

This is a mixed-use 4-unit/4500 sqft building multi-family condo infill project located in the Downtown of Brisbane. The project posed unique challenges of width of 25’, conventional parking requirements, fire access easement, and the need for ground floor retail while still trying to provide the missing middle housing. The innovative design and zoning solution included mechanical parking complemented with TDM strategies, leveraging existing walkability of the neighborhood, and added support from the community who see this project as a catalyst to revitalize the Downtown.

The Santa Clara Valley has evolved from being a thriving agricultural community in the 1800s to the Silicon Valley of today – arguably the leading tech innovation hub of the world. With the clearing of eight blocks of the old downtown as a result of the City’s 1960s Urban Renewal Plan, the City now has the opportunity to rebuild the downtown fabric in a deliberate way and a way that can achieve the community’s specific goals for downtown livability. To this end, the Downtown Santa Clara Precise Plan will carefully lay the framework for a “core” that is simultaneously rooted in the community aspiration, affordability, smart mobility and forward looking density while being supported by infrastructure and amenities that will respond to the evolving needs of the community over time.
