City of Mountain View Government News

Mountain View’s longstanding Kohl’s store is set to close this week, making it the final retail outpost to shutter in a shopping center where the Los Altos School District hopes to build a new school.

Mountain View is taking steps to close a massive funding shortfall for a new public safety building after the cost shot up to $210 million, an amount that far exceeds what the city budgeted for it.

It has been three years since Mountain View approved a rent control ordinance for its mobile home parks. Now it is looking to update the ordinance to offer more protections for tenants who are struggling to keep up with annual rent increases.

Making some tradeoffs to get more homes built, Mountain View backed an affordable housing development that will support lower-income residents, but will have very few parking spaces for them.

An affordable housing development in Mountain View is one step closer to getting built, although it is still raising concerns that there is not enough parking for the hundreds of residents who will be living there.

Moffett Boulevard, a busy thoroughfare in Mountain View, is poised to undergo some major changes, possibly on a much larger scale than originally anticipated.
