Site Development Permit to allow demolition of the existing two-story buildings on the site to allow construction of a 26-story, approximately 184,667-gross square foot mixed-use building on an approximately 0.18-acre site. The building would accommodate 192 residential units (20 percent of the units at Below Market Rate (BMR)) and approximately 5,217 square feet of office space on the second floor.  The project site is currently occupied by a pair of two-story buildings, one of which (17 East Santa Clara Street) is an identified Structure of Merit on the City’s Historic Resources Inventory; both are proposed for demolition. The project would retain the street facing façade and parapet of the existing building at 17 East Santa Clara Street, which would be integrated into the new project.

The proposed building would have a height of just over 273 feet. Private open space would be provided by balconies for most units. In addition, the project proposes to reserve approximately 5,438 square feet of the basement and floor level areas for an access point to the future BART/VTA station. The project would also install a backup generator that would be located on the basement level.

LOCATION

The project is located on approximately 0.18 gross acres over two parcels located at 17 and 29 East Santa Clara Street, in San José, California. The two parcels are currently occupied by two-story buildings that are proposed to be demolished.
