Amid a groundswell of public support, the Portola Valley Town Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve its third draft of its housing element. But the battle over its state-mandated housing plan is far from over.
A Portola Valley resident notified the town of plans to sue if the Planning Commission and Town Council doesn t rescind its votes to approve environmental studies supporting the town s housing and safety plan.
Portola Valley was on track to approve its housing element and come into compliance with state law. But the decision has been pushed back again, raising concerns over builder s remedy and staff fatigue.
