100 homes planned near freeway exit in Morgan Hill as project advances

A proposed housing project that would bring more than 100 homes to Morgan Hill is inching closer to breaking ground following a recommendation from planning officials.

The Planning Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved recommending plans for a housing development just east of the U.S. Highway 101 Cochrane Road exit that would add 105 single-family homes to the South County city. If approved by the City Council at a later date, the 15.8-acre site would move forward alongside an adjacent shopping center. The shopping center is slated to open in late 2027.
