Zoning: R2 (One- and Two-Family), R3 (Multifamily), P (Planned Community/Precise Plan); General Plan: residential designations at various densities
Document Description
The proposed R3 Zoning District Update would apply to approximately 8,350 parcels covering about 1,260 acres citywide, with final locations to be determined after completion of the Draft EIR. The update aims to support diverse housing types, including middle-income ownership housing, improve design quality, enable neighborhood-serving commercial uses, and align with recent state housing laws and Mountain View’s 2023–2031 Housing Element programs. Full buildout associated with the R3 Zoning District Update would result in up to 10,000-16,000 additional residential units through the year 2050, consisting of existing development potential for roughly 1,200 existing units plus potential for approximately 8,800-14,800 additional units.
