Middlefield Park Master Plan

 On November 15, 2022, the City Council approved the Middlefield Park Master Plan prepared by Google LLC, in partnership with Lendlease to remove 14 existing industrial/office buildings to construct up to:

  • 1,900 housing units;
  • 2.4 acres of land to be dedicated to City for future affordable housing;
  • 50,000 square feet of active ground-floor uses (including retail, restaurants, services and community space);
  • 1,317,000 square feet of office;
  • 10-acres of public parks and open space;
  • two parking structures (district parking) and integrated residential/commercial parking;
  • new private streets;
  • new on- and off-site pedestrian and bicycle improvements; and
  • an optional private district utility system.

Approvals also included a 20-year Development Agreement and a Tentative Subdivision Map to create up to 18 lots, 140 vertical lots, and 1,900 condominium lots. The City Council also certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and adopted a statement of overriding considerations. The 40-acre project site is generally located at the northeast corner of East Middlefield Road and Ellis Street and north of W. Maude Avenue between Logue Avenue and Clyde Avenue in the P-41 (East Whisman) Precise Plan.

Master Plan Approvals

 The Master Plan identifies the framework of new development in the 40-acre area, including general building locations, uses, and forms, transportation improvements (including parking), utilities, and public spaces, with phased multi-year implementation. Each development phase will go through the City's development review process and require a community meeting, review by City staff and the Development Review Committee, and an Administrative Zoning public hearing.
