San Bruno is facing some of the highest levels of development in decades. Although the San Bruno City Council approves projects it is important to note the developer is ultimately responsible for completing the development. The council approval is for the “entitlement”, the right to build the project. After entitlement the developer is required to submit the building permit. This could take several iterations of review based on the quality of the permit submittal. After the permit is issued construction may begin. Unfortunately some developments take much longer to complete and some developers list their property for sale immediately after entitlement.

2101 Sneath Lane (former Engvall School Site). The project proposes to develop 118 single family homes and common open spaces across the 21-acre site. Single-family homes are proposed to be clustered on the site to minimize grading and maintain a landscaped area along areas of the western edge of the site. Proposed circulation for the site would allow vehicles to enter and exit the development primarily from Sneath Lane. The project proposes to demolish the existing structures, golf facilities, parking, and other improvements to build a new 118-lot single family detached home development of new two- and three-story houses. The applicant intends to create 15% of the homes as onsite below market rate (BMR) units. It is anticipated that the project will require a Vesting Tentative Map, Planned Unit Permit, Conditional Use Permit, and Architectural Review, in addition to CEQA environmental review and may also require additional planning approvals and permits.
