Comments/Discussion

Area Three, along with Area Four, is one of the most accessible and visible locations in the City and should be characterized by high intensity uses. Mathilda Avenue is a major commute corridor and provides access to Sunnyvale from two major highways—U.S. Route 101 and Interstate Highway 280. The intersection of Mathilda Avenue and El Camino Real also serves as an entry into the downtown City center. The office building located across El Camino Real at the northeast corner of  El Camino Real and Mathilda Avenue from this Opportunity Area is a Class A office building. It is the first of such buildings in Sunnyvale. Additional Class A office uses will enhance the existing uses in the area and will provide a connection to the Downtown area.
