TITLE: 777 West Middlefield Road—Public
Improvements
RECOMMENDATION
Accept the public improvements for the development at 777 West Middlefield Road for maintenance throughout their useful life.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The “acceptance” of developer -installed improvements signifies that the developer has satisfactorily completed improvements in the City’s right-of-way. Once accepted, the City takes ownership of, and maintenance responsibility for, the improvements.
This development project consisted of 716 new rental units, 572 of which would be market-rate apartments within two buildings, and 144 units would be below-market-rate units in a separate building, all on the same project site. Of the 144 affordable units, 124 units would be for teacher and staff housing units for the Mountain View Whisman School District, and 20 units available to City staff. The public improvement plans for this development were approved for construction on August 1, 2022.
The public improvements include:
