Meeting the needs of low-income families, Ohlone-Chynoweth Commons comprises housing and community facilities developed on an underutilized park-and-ride lot along the Guadalupe light-rail line. The former 1,100-space lot now accommodates diverse uses: approximately 366 parking spaces, 194 units of affordable housing, 4,400 square feet (409 square meters) of retail uses, and a 4,000-square-foot (372-square-meter) community center.
