Campbell planners said the new state law could allow as many as 40,409 added homes, versus ~18,200 existing homes, if eligible parcels build out fully.
Nearly a quarter of Campbell land fell inside the half-mile transit zone, centered on light rail stops near Winchester, Downtown Campbell, Hamilton and nearby Bascom.
The law made qualifying multifamily housing an allowed use near major transit if projects met standards for size, height, affordability and demolition protections.
Campbell staff had mapped affected parcels and reviewed where the law would limit local discretion, especially around design standards, historic character and preservation rules.
Recent meetings showed split views: some officials saw housing and revenue upside, while residents and downtown businesses warned about parking pressure, crowding and neighborhood change.
