There are currently 50 development projects in the city of Santa Clara, population ~130,000. Most are residential. Many residential development projects that are active are tearing down light industrial and replacing with apartments and condos. For example, this 347 unit project described as follows: "Project Description: SummerHill Apartment Communities proposes to demolish three existing light industrial buildings on a 3.06-acre site within the Tasman East Specific Plan area and replace them with one 347-unit apartment building and dedicate 0.4178 acres to be a City of Santa Clara park, which will include a dog park and children's play area. The proposed park also includes walking and bicycling paths which will connect into the broader Tasman East bicycle and pedestrian network. The proposed apartment building will include two stories of above-ground parking, seven stories of residential units with associated building amenities and a community garden. SummerHill proposes a total of 275,000 square feet of new residential area with 396 vehicular parking spaces and 24 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed project will include street and utility improvements and a lot line adjustment and merger to create two new parcels (one for residential and one for city park)." http://santaclaraca.gov/Home/Components/BusinessDirectory/BusinessDirectory/263/2495?npage=3 http://santaclaraca.gov/Home/Components/BusinessDirectory/Bu...
