1921 and 1927 West San Carlos Street Project

FILE NOS: GP23-001/H23-005/T23-003/ER23-026

Annexation

The Project would require annexation of the Project site and the immediately adjacent section of Cleveland Avenue to the City of San José.

General Plan Amendment and Pre-Zoning

While the Project site is located within unincorporated Santa Clara County, it is located within the City’s sphere of influence. As such, the General Plan designates the Project site as part of the West San Carlos Urban Village Plan area. The existing General Plan Land Use designation for the Project site is Mixed Use Commercial (MUC). The Project would require a General Plan Amendment (GPA) to change the land use designation from MUC to Urban Village (UV). The Project would use the State’s density bonuses, incentives, and waivers to be consistent with the UV zoning district and UV land use designation requirements for the specified affordable housing units as part of the design for the Project.

Tentative Map

The Project includes a Tentative Map to combine the five contiguous parcels on the project site to one parcel. Approval of the tentative map is required for the development proposed by the Project to occur.

Site Development

The applicant proposes to demolish approximately 1,500 square feet (sf) of existing buildings to construct a new seven-story, 108,935 gross square-foot, 94 unit, mixed-income housing development with accompanying retail space. The Project would include 100% affordable housing, with support services, designed for families and individuals with incomes between 30%-60% of the area median income.

The maximum height of the building would be 83 feet and 10 inches. The Project would include development of approximately 65,138 square feet of residential floor area and 1,946 square feet of floor area for retail. Vehicular access to the residential portion of the Project would be provided by two driveways on Cleveland Avenue.
