Village Centers

The City’s 2017 General Plan Land Use and Transportation Element (LUTE) identified seven locations for mixed use Village Centers, in the context of various neighborhood planning areas to ensure each neighborhood is adequately supported by commercial services, as well as schools and parks. These Village Centers are typically located at the crossroads of arterial and collector street intersections and accessible by pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections.

Development projects have currently been approved at Fremont Avenue and Sunnyvale Saratoga Road and a new development has been proposed at Fremont Avenue and Mary Avenue.

Shaunn Mendrin, Sunnyvale’s Planning Officer will talk about the new Village Centers Master Plan currently underway.

Gun Safety in Sunnyvale

Following almost daily mass shootings in 2022 including the racist shooting in Buffalo, New York, which killed 10 people and the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that killed 19 children and 2 teachers, many Sunnyvale residents are asking, “What can we do locally to help prevent more gun violence?”

On August 30th, the Sunnyvale City Council will have a Study Session to look at actions the City can take to improve gun safety in Sunnyvale. At our August meeting we will have a brief presentation on possible gun safety measures from the local group behind the 2013 ballot measure that was approved overwhelmingly by the voters.

Finally, following their presentation at the July meeting, we will vote for Mountain View Coalition for Sustainable Planning to become our Coalition Partner
