01 / The recorded outcome

What happened

California’s State Clearinghouse hosts Palo Alto’s NOD for the 800 San Antonio Road project on APNs 147-03-038 and -043 PA1. It reports City approval May 6, 2024 of a five-story plan with 75 homes, including 16 below-market-rate units, and 1,078 square feet of retail PA1. The City’s current project page separately describes a later 120-home amendment/prescreening, which must not be described as the 2024 entitlement PA2.

Record to read

04 / What this record does not establish

The boundary of the finding

  • This is the 800 San Antonio project, not the distinct 824 or 788 San Antonio projects and not the legacy builder-remedy merger story.
  • The NOD records approval but is not a construction-completion record; later amendment disposition was not verified.

Latest cited status: As of the 2024 NOD and City project page checked September 29, 2026; 120-home proposal status requires later decision check.

One property. A dated record. A clearer next move.
