Council approves 3-unit apartment

The Los Altos City Council approved an application for a new three-unit apartment complex for 560 Gabilan St. at its Dec. 16 meeting.

"Staff decided to bypass the initial Architectural and Site review for this project," said David Kornfield in the staff report.

These will be market-rate units in a two-story townhouse-style building.

The project was approved unanimously at the Nov. 20 planning commission meeting. One commissioner said that the project "appears as a single-family residence from the front."

The architect is Larry Madson, of Los Altos. Owners are Los Altos residents Robert and Ruth Lundquist.
