PRIME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE
Marcus & Millichap has been selected as exclusive agents for 1.07 acres of land located along El Camino Real at the entrance to the Colma BART station. The property consists of 40,998 square feet of land on the west side of El Camino Real immediately adjacent to the Colma BART station, and two adjacent parcels totaling 5,748 square feet on the east side of El Camino Real. The west site is level and has a triangular shape, while the east site is rectangular and has sloping topography.
ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN
The zoning designation for both sites is Commercial and the general plan land use designation for all but one parcel is Commercial; one parcel has a general plan designation of Low Density Residential. The west site adjacent to the BART station has been identified as a housing opportunity site in the general plan and has a Housing Element Overlay (HEO) Zoning District. The HEO district was created to encourage development of housing in the city, and development standards remove barriers to new housing development. Under certain conditions, projects can receive ministerial approval if they include affordable housing.

BART provides mass transit rail service from Millbrae up to San Francisco and across the San Francisco Bay to Oakland and the East Bay. The Financial District in San Francisco is a 20-minute ride from the property. An intermodal station in Millbrae connects BART to Caltrain, which provides service along the Peninsula from San Francisco to San Jose. Additionally, BART provides access to both the San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport.
