Mountain View’s Parking Lot 12 on Bryant Street is set to close in January to make way for an affordable housing construction project.
The city issued a ministerial approval of a SB 35 application in April 2022 to redevelop the 1.56-acre lot into a new five-story, mixed-use building with 120 rental units, 96 parking spaces, 3,300 square feet of commercial and public gathering space and a public mid-block garden paseo.
Lot 12 is located across from City Hall and the Mountain View Public Library. The southbound lane on Bryant Street will be closed to traffic during the construction period.
The city plans to provide alternate parking spaces underground near the library and City Hall and public lots on roads off California Street.
Construction is anticipated to begin in January or February and take approximately two years to complete.
“Once finished, the project will deliver much-needed affordable homes and bring new energy, residents, and foot traffic to downtown Mountain View,” according to the press release.
According to the Palo Alto-based Alta Housing – the developer of the project – the building will offer 18 studios, 41 one-bedroom units, 30 two-bedroom units and 30 three-bedroom units. Of the units, 20 are reserved for formerly homeless households enrolled in the county’s Rapid Rehousing Program, 10 are reserved for permanent supportive housing and 15 are reserved for households with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
