The 2645-2655 Fayette Drive project was a "builder's remedy" housing development under the Housing Accountability Act, which proposed to develop 70 housing units within a seven-story building with a subterranean garage on the site. Twenty percent of the units were to be reserved for low-income households. The project was a revised version of a previously approved project on the site, which initially planned a six-story, 44-unit, stacked flat condominium building with two levels of underground parking on the site. The approximately 0.67-acre site was relatively flat and was located on the southwest side of Fayette Drive, west of San Antonio Road, within northwestern portion of Mountain View.

JHS prepared an Addendum to the previously adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The Addendum evaluated whether the proposed changes to the approved project, particularly adding 26 residential units and increasing the height of the building to seven stories, would result in new significant environmental impacts not previously evaluated, or increased impacts that would require new, changed, or additional mitigation, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. Main issues evaluated included aesthetics, air quality, and noise impacts.
