Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan

As part of the Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan process, the project team prepared a high-level existing conditions summary highlighting key findings and major takeaways from a series of technical memorandums and reports on critical elements that influence site development, mobility and infrastructure. The summary provides insights into policy and regulatory frameworks, physical conditions, economic conditions, mobility and infrastructure in the Precise Plan Area.

Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan Area Workshop

When: Monday, March 3, 2025, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Where: Multiple Purpose Room, German International School of Silicon Valley - Mountain View Campus, 310 Easy Street, Mountain View

The City of Mountain View invites you to participate in a public workshop to discuss potential land use alternatives for the City’s Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan (“Precise Plan”). The Precise Plan expands on the 2030 General Plan vision and will include new goals, policies, and regulations for private development, street improvements, and implement requirements of the 2023-2031 Housing Element.

The workshop will start with an overview of previous outreach meetings, Study Sessions, and input received through those efforts. Workshop participants will then be encouraged to provide input on potential land use alternatives for the Precise Plan which will then be presented to the Environmental Planning Commission and City Council at Study Sessions later this year.

Child care (ages 3 and above) and light refreshments will be provided. Translation services will also be available. Additional project information will be available on the City's Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan website at www.MountainView.gov/moffettblvd.

After gathering extensive community feedback through interviews, stakeholder meetings, a community workshop, and an online survey, we have been working on several tasks in the background to speed up the process on Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan to meet the Housing Element update requirement and deadline of December 2025. Below is an overview of the background activities that have been ongoing from September through December 2024:

Existing Conditions Overview

A high-level existing conditions summary highlighting key findings and major takeaways from a series of technical memorandums and reports on critical elements that influence site development, mobility and infrastructure was prepared.

The summary provided an insight on the following topics:

Policy and Regulatory Framework Analysis: The analysis highlighted policies from the General Plan, Housing Element, Municipal Code of Ordinances, and Environmental Plans that support the transformation of Moffett Boulevard into a revitalized, pedestrian-friendly corridor by incorporating a mix of land uses, rezoning land parcels to introduce neighborhood commercial areas, accommodating future residential development, and improving development standards.

Physical Analysis: The analysis provided a brief review of the existing on-site conditions, along with recent, ongoing, or approved residential, commercial, and transportation projects in and around the Plan Area, which set the foundation for future development within the Plan Area.

Economic Analysis: The analysis provided an overview on the land area distribution of commercial, retail, hotel, non-profit organizations, a school, and a multifamily residential community within the Plan Area. The review also highlighted local and regional trends in population growth, housing demand, retail opportunities, and employment industries, as well as patterns that will influence the future development trajectory of the Plan Area.

Mobility Analysis: The analysis highlighted the existing pedestrian, bike, and transit amenities within the Plan Area, along with their levels of service. Additionally, a street hierarchy and parking analysis were conducted to assess road congestion and parking demand.

Infrastructure Analysis: The analysis provided a brief description of existing conditions, capacity, and level of service for water supply and distribution, and wastewater system.

More detailed information on each topic is available under 'Existing Conditions Memorandum' in this webpage's 'Project Library' section. It includes the following:

1. Policy and Regulatory Review
2. Mobility and Transportation
3. Multifamily Residential, Lodging and Office Uses
4. Retail Conditions

The City of Mountain View held a Project Kick-Off meeting on June 14, 2024 with key department staff and consultants to commence the Moffett Boulevard Precise Plan project. The Project Team discussed in detail the project's purpose, goals, and desired outcomes. All team members contributed their feedback and ideas on these topics, to ensure that the project progresses through each phase smoothly.

The Project Team also toured the Plan Area and adjacent streets, in order to familiarize themselves with the site and any parallel development efforts that could influence the Precise Plan. It also allowed the Project Team to identify an initial list of assets and opportunities within the area.
