A townhouse project near downtown Campbell could soon hit a growth spurt if the city approves the developer’s request.

On March 28 the planning commission recommended the city council give Robson Homes’ Madison Townhomes the go-ahead to add six units to a project along Dillon Avenue and Sam Cava Lane.

In October 2014 the council granted approval to a 100-unit project at the site. In July 2015 the council voted to have the project done in two phases, and later that year, it approved an additional 18 units.

The project is on 5.14 acres right outside the downtown core near a light rail station. The additional six townhouses would be built on less than a quarter of an acre near where Sam Cava Lane turns into Gilman Avenue.

If the council approves the additional townhouses, the project would have a total of 96 townhouses and 28 apartments.

An unoccupied duplex now sits on the site, which is being used for construction staging.

“We welcome the opportunity to clean up the neighborhood by transforming this small blighted property to become part of our high-quality Madison community,” project manager Richard Yee told the commission. “We can complete our neighborhood presence on Sam Cava Lane, and we will increase the amount of landscaping and improve the neighborhood aesthetic.”

To accommodate the additional units, some parallel parking spaces will need to be turned perpendicular to allow for new driveways to connect with the rear of the proposed townhouses, according to the city staff report.

Adding the half-dozen units would result in a gain of 2,900 square feet of open space, according to the staff report.

The additional six units would match the rest of the units’ use of stucco, wood siding and brick on the exterior.

“I thought that this was a good project in terms of completing the site. There were a couple of little gaps in it,” said Commissioner Donald Young.

The city council is set to review this project on April 18.
