Starter-home projects are reshaping neighborhoods across Campbell
New multi-unit housing projects are being proposed and approved across Campbell, including within established single-family neighborhoods. These developments can significantly affect density, parking, and neighborhood conditions — often before nearby residents are fully aware.
This site brings together project locations, status, and participation resources so residents can stay informed and engage constructively.

A quick overview of what Campbell is reviewing, why residents are focused on the vacancy question, and how to participate.
What’s happening in Campbell
Campbell is reviewing starter-home projects under Ordinance 2334. These projects can allow much denser housing on parcels that currently contain a single-family home, and some proposals may be reviewed ministerially within 60 days if objective criteria are met.
Why people are paying attention
A central question is whether a parcel must be vacant when the application is filed, or whether Campbell can treat it as vacant based on a proposed demolition. That interpretation affects whether a project qualifies for ministerial approval at all.
What residents can do
Review project details, follow updates, and ask City Council to explain how Ordinance 2334 is being applied. Residents can also ask for transparency on project eligibility and whether lots were vacant at the time of application.
Start here for the basics on starter-home projects, city review, and respectful public participation.
