Document Description
In 2017, the City of Sunnyvale (City) certified an EIR and adopted the Land Use and Transportation Element (LUTE) of the Sunnyvale General Plan (SCH #2012032003).
In July 2025, the City approved the Village Center Master Plan (VCMP) and considered an Addendum to the LUTE EIR for the VCMP.
The total buildout potential for the VCMP would be approximately 73 acres with up to 990,123 square feet of commercial development and 1,165 residential units, assuming an average residential density of 18 dwelling units per acre. When compared to what was assumed in the 2017 LUTE, this would equate to a net gain of 265 residential units and a net loss of 8,592 square feet of commercial floor area.
As evaluated in the Addendum, these minor modifications to the General Plan do not involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The analysis presented in the Addendum concludes that no additional environmental review is required under Section
15162 of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and therefore use of an Addendum is appropriate under CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
