Palo Alto's City Council voted 4-2 to advance a revised plan for a three-tower housing project at 156 California Avenue, the site of a Mollie Stone's market, after developer Redco added nearly 100 parking spaces at the city's request while cutting 28 affordable units from its original proposal. The vote sets the stage for what could become the city's tallest residential development in years, built on a site that has been at the center of a tense standoff between the developer and local officials for months. Redco submitted its updated planning documents for the site on September 3, according to Palo Alto Online. The latest plans call for 390 housing units and 396 parking spots, after Redco added an underground parking level with capacity for roughly 100 additional stalls.
