Planning Commission study session on USGS campus redevelopment plan

Planning Commission study session on USGS campus redevelopment plan

Published on August 24, 2026

The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a study session Monday, Aug. 24 for a proposed project that would comprehensively redevelop the former USGS campus (345 Middlefield Road) with a new mixed-use project.

The proposal includes new housing units at a range of affordability levels, new bicycle and pedestrian connections, public open space and a new office campus that would replace and expand the existing office facilities. Key components of the project include:

• 670 dwelling units;
• Approximately 713,000 square feet of office space (approximately 300,000 net new); and
• Approximately 40,000 square feet of non-office commercial and amenity space

More information and project plans are available on the City-maintained project page.

The Aug. 24 study session provides an opportunity for the community and Planning Commission to learn more about the proposed master plan, ask clarifying questions and provide comments for the applicant and staff to consider. The staff report will be available on the agenda webpage no later than 72 hours before the meeting.

The project is currently incomplete due to items missing from the application package. The City will reevaluate the project's completeness upon resubmittal.
