Stanford University Development Project and the General Use Permit Application County of Santa Clara Planning Commission Hearing #2 Thursday, June 13, 2019 / 1:30 PM Isaac Newton Senter Auditorium, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose, CA 95110

WHAT ABOUT HOUSING?

Stanford University is proposing to add more than 3.5 million square feet of new development. The project is the largest ever to be reviewed by the County of Santa Clara in its 169-year history.

If approved, the project could increase Stanford University’s campus by 20% and add 9,610 new people to the campus upon completion of the development.

Where would these people live? The University is proposing to build 2,600 new beds for students, but only 550 units for faculty and staff. However, an independent analysis of the development proposal concluded that the project would create the need for an additional 2,172 housing units for faculty, staff and other workers, which means the project would leave the community with a œÕȘ}`iwVˆÌœv£]ÈÓÓ՘ˆÌð
