Affordable Housing Initiatives in Hillsborough: A Focus on Town-Owned Sites

According to hillsborough.net, the rezoning of two town-owned sites marks a significant effort to meet the state-mandated goals for affordable housing under RHNA Cycle 6. This initiative aims to increase housing diversity while maintaining single-family zoning across private properties. Here's a concise overview of the plans:


Tobin Clark Site

Situated adjacent to the College of San Mateo, 20 acres of this 50-acre property will accommodate 100 multi-family housing units. These units will benefit educators, healthcare workers, and local staff:

  • 44 units for Very Low Income

  • 6 units for Moderate Income

  • 50 units for Above Moderate Income


Town Hall Campus

This 2.5-acre site near Floribunda Avenue and El Camino Real is slated for 16 affordable units. These will cater primarily to seniors and local workers:

  • 7 units for Very Low Income (0–50% AMI)

  • 9 units for Low Income (50–80% AMI)


Next Steps

No developments have been approved yet. Community Visioning workshops will provide residents the opportunity to shape these projects through open dialogue.
