People nibbled on shortbread and sipped local wine as speakers commemorated the groundbreaking of Portola Valley s first affordable and supportive housing project.
The Portola Valley Town Council will take the final steps to approve the town s housing element on Wednesday, seeking to wrap up a state-mandated document that was due to state on Jan. 31.
With under a week until the deadline for a compliant housing element, and facing possible fines and other repercussions, the Portola Valley town staff announced they won t submit the plan to the state next week.
Portola Valley s draft housing element is now available for review, detailing where city officials plan to allow for housing growth, including multifamily housing.
