Milpitas Planning Staff Recommends Rejecting 33 Home Proposal for South Milpitas Blvd.

Inconsistencies with the general plan cited in staff report.

The Milpitas Planning Commission is being asked to reject a proposal for 33 single-family homes at the corner of South Milpitas Bl. and Los Coches.

According to a staff report, it is not appropriate to have single-family residential homes facing South Milpitas Bl.  Staff is recommending that the project developers, DRG Builders, Inc. add a commercial element to the project.

Without a commercial element, staff contends, the project doesn’t fully meet the criteria for a mixed use development as envisioned in the Town Center zoning district.
