Project context

Darshan Patel filed a land-use development application on May 15, 2024. The application requested a Planned Development Permit and Design Review Permit with Density Bonus Request to facilitate conversion of an existing office building into 32 residential dwelling units.1

The project site is a 0.67 gross acre site at 332 S. Juniper Street, APN 229-472-11.

Prior review

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 10, 2026 and adopted Resolution No. 2026-02 recommending that the City Council approve the project's Planned Development Permit and corresponding entitlements as detailed in the March 4, 2026 City Council staff report.1

The April 1 minutes verify the recorded consent-item context for Ordinance No. 2026-05.

Environmental review statement

The City Council determined the project categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 for In-Fill Development Projects.

Source notes

The source for this page is the official Ordinance No. 2026-05 PDF linked from the City Council Adopted Ordinances page and retrieved on May 24, 2026. The source can support ordinance-stated decision context, but it should not be treated as a current project-status source or as a complete municipal-code record.

The April 1, 2026 City Council minutes add minutes-recorded consent-item context for Ordinance No. 2026-05. They should not be used as a substitute for Resolution No. 2026-40, the staff report, conditions of approval, or later project records.

Check approved minutes, Resolution No. 2026-40, the March 4, 2026 staff report, planning records, permit records, building records, municipal-code records, and later official updates before relying on current status, conditions, construction, occupancy, current law, codification status, or legal interpretation.

This page does not publish map metadata, parcel boundaries, private-property access guidance, current construction conditions, or current occupancy.

This page does not summarize the staff report, Planning Commission record, Resolution No. 2026-40, conditions of approval, or any later permitting record.
