Voters in the City of Santa Clara approved Measures A and B in the Special Municipal Election held on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, in conjunction with the Presidential Primary Election. Approved were the General Plan Amendment for the Santa Clara Gardens project and the granting of a Density Bonus for the Senior Housing Project element of the project. The project moving forward is on approximately 17 acres of surplus land owned by the State of California, located at 90 N. Winchester Boulevard. The property is the former site of the University of California's Bay Area Research and Extension Center (BAREC). The approved project includes up to 165 units of affordable senior housing with approximately 2.5 acres of garden area, 110 units of market rate housing, and a 1-acre public park. The Santa Clara Gardens project was previously approved by the City Council in June of 2007. Following that, the item was placed on the ballot through the referendum process by the Save BAREC coalition, putting the General Plan Amendment and Density Bonus on the ballot, where it was subsequently approved by the voters. The project developers are expected to proceed with the project as described.
