Palo Alto council wants housing, cautious about density

The owner of 4146 El Camino Real is interested in developing the lot, pictured at left on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017, which has been vacant since 1997, into up to 21 multifamily condo units. Opponents say the proposal is too dense for the area while supporters say the area is ideal for density because of its proximity to businesses and public transportation.
