Cambridge Council Approves 6,500 Homes in Waterbeach

Sandy City Council has approved a rezone for a project to develop nine townhomes at 886 E. 7800 South, despite mixed reactions from council members about its alignment with local housing needs. In Springfield, the City Council passed an ordinance for a 40-unit apartment complex at the Town and Country Shopping Center, aiming to boost local population density and support nearby businesses. Meanwhile, South Cambridgeshire District Council granted planning permission for up to 4,500 homes in Waterbeach New Town, following previous objections regarding water supply concerns. Mountain View City Council has also greenlit a significant mixed-use development that will include 836 housing units and a six-story office building, though they have called for more park amenities to accommodate new residents. Dr. Tumi Hawkins from South Cambridgeshire emphasized the importance of meeting increased housing targets amid national growth demands. Overall, these developments reflect ongoing efforts to address housing shortages across various regions.
