Tracking development activity in our Campbell neighborhood
Welcome neighbors. This site is intended to help all of us stay informed, share reliable information and better understand changes affecting our community. By approaching these issues with openness, respect and a commitment to the facts, we can ask thoughtful questions, support constructive discussion and work together to help keep our neighborhood a strong and welcoming place to live.
This site is focused on development activity and neighborhood issues affecting the area generally bordered by White Oaks Road, Kilmer Avenue and Longfellow Avenue, including Browning Avenue, Emerson Avenue and Holmes Avenue.
About this site: This is an independent information resource. It is not affiliated with the City of Campbell, a developer, or a political campaign. The goal is to distinguish confirmed public records from observations, reported information, analysis, and unanswered questions.

Understanding the framework
Two different state-law pathways
Starter Homes / SB 684 / SB 1123
Qualifying projects may combine housing development with a subdivision of up to 10 lots and up to 10 housing units through a ministerial review process. Campbell has adopted local rules implementing this framework.
SB 9 / urban lot splits
SB 9 is a separate pathway for qualifying single-family parcels. It should not be treated as interchangeable with the Starter Home framework.
