CPC began acquiring adjacent residential properties surrounding the church more than 20 years ago. Since that time, the church has been renting those out - some to staff members as workforce housing and some to the public as market-rate rentals. In 2022, CPC leadership decided to initiate visioning and early planning studies for what has become the Legacy project. A committee was formed and consultants were retained to begin both site planning and fundraising activities. Over the last few years, the plan evolved through a series of iterations based on input from many internal stakeholders from both CPC (e.g., leadership, members, visitors, and staff) and SRVCA (e.g., leadership, parents, and staff). Several meetings have also taken place with various external stakeholders including Town of Danville staff, utility service providers, and select neighboring property owners, to help shape the plan. The housing component of the plan was specifically designed to be consistent with the zoning requirements specified in the Town’s Housing Element.

CPC held multiple meetings over the course of the last few years with four adjacent property owners we felt would be most directly impacted by this plan. In addition, CPC hosted a public meeting on October 21, 2025 to share our latest information, obtain input, and answer questions prior to making the formal application submittal to the Town. A total of 250+ invitations were extended to the addresses of the property owners within 750 feet of our campus to attend that meeting, and approximately 40-50 neighbors attended.

CPC is proposing a total of 49 new townhomes, each with three bedrooms. 19 of those townhomes will also have an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that is directly attached. In a practical sense, the ADUs will be sold as part of each attached townhome, so there will be a total of 49 units sold. In some cases, the ADUs may be rented out separately, while in others, they will function as a fourth bedroom or as an “in-law type of use. The Town of Danville considers the project to have a total of 68 units (49 townhomes +19 ADUs) for purposes of consistency with the Town’s Housing Element and M25 Zoning Code.

CPC considers the entirety of the proposed Charles Lane Townhomes as an “affordable by design” project because the maximum average square footage for all units is limited to 1,500 square feet per the Town of Danville M-25 Zoning Code.  Additionally, CPC is proposing to place a deed restriction on a portion of these units that will limit buyers or renters to certain maximum income thresholds established by the State of California.

No. The housing plan represents a partnership between the church and the Town of Danville to meet the shared objectives of additional housing consistent with the zoning established in the Town’s Housing Element. The most financially beneficial plan for CPC would be to replace the current single-family homes with much larger single-family homes and avoid the need to remove the public streets and utilities in the area. Such a plan would not be consistent with the Town’s Housing Element and would not meet CPC’s goal of partnering with the Town to provide more housing, including some workforce housing for CPC staff.
