Planning Commission Meeting 9/16/2025

The City of San Ramon's Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 16, 2025, primarily focused on a study session for a proposed residential development project by Toll Brothers at 500 Bolinger Canyon Lane. The project involves demolishing existing tennis courts to build 82 multifamily townhome condominium units and 7 accessory dwelling units on a 9.48-acre site, including 15% affordable housing units. The application is in the early stages and has not yet been deemed complete, with ongoing internal and external agency reviews. The commission and public provided extensive feedback on concerns including traffic congestion, fire safety, environmental impact, parking, community amenities, and architectural compatibility. Commissioners emphasized the constraints imposed by California state housing laws requiring the city to meet housing targets, limiting local discretion. The developer was encouraged to improve community outreach and address issues raised by neighbors and the HOA. No formal votes or approvals were made; the project will undergo further review and revisions before future hearings.
