Family-Friendly Housing Approved on South Milpas

South Milpas Street is getting a major upgrade with a 45-unit family-friendly housing project tied to a Tri-County Produce expansion, approved unanimously by the Architectural Board after five review cycles. The design, featuring a 4,700 sq ft market addition and a four-story residential tower with 47 parking spots, reduces unit count to prioritize 14 spacious three-bedroom apartments — a rare move in today’s studio-dominated market. While some trees will be removed, new ones will replace them, and city staff ensured no units can be used as short-term rentals. Concerns over building height were addressed with 11-foot floor-to-floor ceilings to maximize space. Residents and developers alike see this as a thoughtful, community-oriented development.
