County of Santa Clara Planning Commission Meeting April 23, 2026 6:00 p.m.

The Santa Clara County Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, to review a major subdivision and grading project proposed by 6A Holdings LLC for a 0.5-acre site in the Alum Rock neighborhood. The project involves creating 10 townhome lots, including one unit reserved for moderate-income households, as part of an infill housing development under the builder's remedy provisions of California law (SP330 and AB1893). Staff presented detailed analysis confirming the project meets density requirements and does not pose adverse public health or safety impacts, recommending approval. Commissioners discussed setbacks, fire access, and potential recreational use of the fire truck turnaround area. The applicant, Alpha XRE Capital, emphasized the project's role in addressing missing middle housing needs in the region. Public comment included support for the project as a needed affordable housing option. No formal votes were recorded in the transcript, but staff recommended approval with conditions.
