Maybell Project Description:
Palo Alto Housing Corporation (PAHC), a nonprofit affordable housing developer, proposes to build a rental apartment building with approximately 60 apartments affordable to extremely-low to low income senior households and 15 for sale, market rate single family homes. The project site is comprised of two parcels at the corner of Maybell and Clemo Avenues totaling 2.46 acres. The larger parcel (93,654 sq. ft.) is zoned RM-15 and the smaller parcel (13,768 sq. ft.) is zoned R2.
PAHC has submitted a rezoning request to rezone the 2.46-acre property to Planned Community, which is currently being reviewed by the City. The affordable rental apartments will include 59 1-bedroom apartments and one 2-bedroom apartment for the onsite manager, common areas such as a community room with computer lab, laundry room, manager’s office, a resident services office, as well as outdoor common area space to enjoy. The affordable apartments will have an average size of 600 square feet and be affordable to households earning 30-60% of the Area Median Income in Santa Clara County.
PAHC has been developing and managing affordable housing in Palo Alto since 1970. PAHC’s mission has always been to foster, develop, acquire and manage affordable housing in Palo Alto. PAHC manages over 600 units of affordable housing in Palo Alto. In addition to PAHC’s in-house property management staff, PAHC has Resident Services Program staff to meet the needs of our tenants as well.
