What's going on in the background?

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.
