Stanford plan calls for more housing on campus as part of county’s housing strategy

Stanford University’s current growth boundary will be maintained for 99 years under a plan approved this week by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors that will also limit the amount of housing the university can build off-campus. 

It was the first major update to the Stanford Community Plan since the development plan was established in 2000 and comes amid the county’s effort to establish a new county housing element, which the board passed unanimously Tuesday but still must be certified by state regulators.
