Morgan Hill Panel Backs 105 Homes Near 101, Settles Builder's Remedy Fight

Cochrane Rd. & DePaul Dr. — Approximate Site Of 105-Home Project. A Morgan Hill planning panel has recommended approval of plans for 105 new single-family homes just east of the Highway 101 exit at Cochrane Road, clearing a path for a development that only exists in its current form because of a settlement between the city and the builder over California's builder's remedy law. The homes would rise on a 15.8-acre parcel that is part of a larger, roughly 28.5-acre site split three ways between housing, a future shopping center and land the city will use to meet its own affordable housing obligations.

Letters to the Editor 10.15.26

This is a monstrosity being put in a scenic area (“A Builder’s Remedy proposal for nearly 1,000 apartments on Highway 68 stirs concerns,” Oct. 8-14). Highway 68 is already almost impassable; I commute and it takes me an hour each day to go 16 miles. Now I’ll have to look at this eyesore. For shame, letting the skyline be bought by the biggest bidder. I’m disgusted. Wendy Oberbrecklon | Monterey.
