The Town received a Preliminary Housing Development application (DEV24-0009) for a 105 unit assisted living facility with an Alzheimer’s unit on the site located at 828 Diablo Road. The developer is O&I Development LLC, part of Oakmont Management Group, managers of Oakmont Senior Living and Ivy Living Facilities.

This application seeks approval of a 9 percent Density Bonus pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL). Based on the site’s General Plan land use designation, the maximum unit count for the site would be 95 units. The proposed 9 percent density bonus results in a maximum unit count of 105. Under the SDBL, a development that is age restricted to seniors qualifies the project for proposed 9 percent density bonus.

The project includes 170 residential units. A total of 46 units would be for-rent apartments, and 124 units would be for-sale townhomes. All 46 units would be restricted to rent to qualifying low-income households. All the buildings would be three stories, with a maximum height of 40 feet.

Project Plans 09.29.23

Update October 26, 2023

The project was taken to the October 26 Design Review Board meeting for review and to provide preliminary feedback to the applicant on the proposed architectural and landscape design for the project. The project will return to the Design Review Board at a future date for formal review and action.

Update November 30, 2023

The project returned to the Design Review Board for formal review and approval. Trumark Homes has submitted a revised subdivision and development plan application for the seven-acre Borel property located at 3020 Fostoria Way. The project includes 170 residential units. A total of 46 units would be for-rent apartments, and 124 units would be for-sale townhomes. All 46 units would be restricted to rent to qualifying low-income households. All the buildings would be three stories, with a maximum height of 40 feet.

Update January 23, 2024

Following the Design Review Board meetings, the development project was considered by the Planning Commission on January 23, 2024. The Planning Commission approved the request to subdivide the seven-acre parcel to allow for a 167-unit multi-family development. The project will include 124 for-sale townhouse units and 43 for-rent apartment units, with conditional approvals.

Updated Project Plans 12.22.23

Update July 1, 2024

Trumark Homes has received approval of a demolition and grading permit and is expected to commence construction activities in July 2024. The initial phase will include removal of trees and rough grading. This will be followed by the installation of subdivision improvements such as water, sewer, drainage, and roadways. Building construction is expected to begin in spring 2025.

On May 10, 2022, the Danville Planning Commission reviewed and approved this development proposal for a new two-story mixed-use building. Once complete, it will feature 37 condominium units on the second floor, commercial retail space on the first floor (street level) and a subterranean garage.

Because of the excavation necessary to build the underground garage, the redwood trees along the Hartz Avenue street frontage will be removed. While the redwood trees located along the creek are planned to be retained, the drought has caused many of the redwoods to deteriorate to a point that may necessitate removal to protect surrounding properties.

The analyses of the development proposal, along with all key documents, can be found in the Document Library located on this project page.

July 1, 2024 UPDATE

Construction of this development is progressing and most of the framing and wall construction is complete. Construction of the 4,000 square foot commercial building area along the Hartz Avenue frontage is also under construction. The builder is hoping to complete the building by late 2024 or early 2025.

March 02, 2023 UPDATE

The project developer has submitted a grading permit application for 600 Hartz Avenue. Grading preparation of the site will begin on March 5, 2023, including demolition of the remainder of the building and tree stumps, preparing the site, and mobilizing equipment. Excavation and grading are scheduled to start on March 15, 2023, and last approximately one month.

The off-haul route will turn left from the site onto Hartz Avenue to San Ramon Valley Boulevard. Trucks will be frequently entering and exiting the site -- and motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians should use caution when traveling through the area and be mindful of posted construction signage and traffic control personnel present at the site.

October 27, 2022 UPDATE

The project developer has submitted a Demolition Permit to clear the project site beginning November 7, 2022. Once the site has been cleared, construction is expected to begin in winter 2023, weather permitting.

Excavation required to construct the basement parking preclude the ability to work around many of the redwood trees on the property. Therefore, demolition will involve tree removal, including redwood trees along Hartz Avenue. The developer will be mitigating this loss by planting trees offsite within Town parks or open space. This would be in addition to the landscaping on the project site. Further, the removed trees will be salvaged by a family-owned demolition company that specializes in repurposing and recycling lumber.

May 10, 2022 UPDATE

Danville Planning Commission reviewed and approved a proposal to construct a new 51,290 square foot two-story mixed-use building on a 1.19 -acre site. The proposed development includes 37 residential condominium units totaling 46,680 square feet, and 3,920 square feet of commercial retail space along the Hartz Avenue frontage. The proposed project includes a 31,360 square foot subterranean parking garage.

The Planning Commission’s approval followed an in-depth process that included an initial joint study session with the Danville Town Council in late 2020 and two detailed reviews by the Design Review Board (DRB) in 2022 to ensure the new building integrated with the existing fabric of the community.

October 28, 2021

Town received a planning application to develop a mixed-use building consisting of residential units (second floor) and commercial (first floor) at the site of the current FAZ Restaurant (1.19 acres).

The proposed project consists of the development of two separate parcels totaling 1.88 acres. The property owner is GMMR LLC, and the applicant is Diamond Construction Inc. The Development Plan would provide for the approval of a Condominium Map allowing for the subdivision of the site into 57 condominium lots, project architecture, site design, and landscape design. A Tree Removal permit (TR22-0039) is also required to allow for the removal of nine Town-protected trees.

This application seeks approval of a 20 percent Density Bonus pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law (SDBL). Based on the site’s General Plan land use designation, the maximum units count for the site would be 47 units. The proposed 20 percent density bonus results in a maximum unit count of 57. Under the SDBL, a development that is age restricted to seniors qualifies the project for the 20 percent density bonus.
