The SuZaCo Mixed-Use Project proposes to demolish three existing, two-story buildings on-site, while retaining the historic façades of the City Landmark building (142-150 East Santa Clara Street) at the corner of East Santa Clara and South Fourth Streets. The project would construct a four- to six-story mixed-use, U-shaped building (approximately 75,251 square feet). The building would be six stories at the corner of the South Fourth Street and East Santa Clara Street and four stories at the portion of the building facing East Santa Clara Street. The maximum height to the top of the roof parapet would be 85 feet. The building would consist of ground floor retail/restaurant space and one level of below-grade retail (totaling approximately 11,790 square feet), while the remaining floors would consist of office space (totaling approximately 63,461 square feet). Amenity space with seating areas is proposed on the roof. No on-site parking spaces are proposed; however, off-site parking is proposed at the Fourth Street parking garage at 88 South Fourth Street, approximately 400 feet southeast of the project site. The proposed project site has a general plan land use designation of Downtown and is located within the Downtown Primary Commercial (DC) zoning district. The project site is also within the Downtown Employment Priority Area overlay. In addition, two of the three project parcels are located within the San José Downtown Commercial National Register Historic District. 

LOCATION

142-150 East Santa Clara Street, 130-134 South Fourth Street, and 17-19 South Fourth Street. The site is bounded by East Santa Clara Street to the north, North Fourth Street to the east, a surface parking lot associated with Hotel Clariana and residential uses to the south, and commercial buildings to the west.
