WHEREAS, this City Council has heard and considered the testimony presented to it at the public hearing, and has further considered written materials submitted on behalf of the project applicant, City staff, and other interested parties;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JOSE THAT:
After considering evidence presented at the public hearing, the City Council finds that the following are the relevant facts and findings regarding this proposed project:
1. Site Description and Surrounding Uses. The subject 5.4-gross acre site is located on the southeast corner of McEvoy Street and Dupont Street. The project site is bounded by Park Avenue on the north and West San Carlos Street on the south. The site is bordered by multifamily senior apartments across Park Avenue to the north, the VTA and Caltrain tracks to the east, a mix of industrial uses across McEvoy Street to the west, and a multi-family residence across West San Carlos Street to the south.
The site is currently developed with a mix of nine separate industrial buildings totaling approximately 64,800 square feet, associated paved parking and outside storage areas, and 57 trees.
2. Project Description. The project consists of the demolition of all nine industrial buildings on site, totaling approximately 64,800 square feet, the removal of 56 trees (26 ordinance-size, 30 non-ordinance-size) and the construction of two five-story multi-family apartment buildings consisting of 689 units and 4,005 square feet of commercial space on an approximately 5.4-gross acre site.
The project consists of the development of two five-story multi-family buildings consisting of 689 residential units and 4,005 square feet of commercial space. Building A, located at the northernmost portion of the site, consists of an approximately 312,625-square foot, five-story, 314-unit market rate multi-family residential building.
Approximately 4,005 square feet of ground floor commercial space would be provided in Building A at the southeast corner of Park Avenue and McEvoy Street. Building B, located at the southernmost portion of the site consists of an approximately 141,387- square foot, five-story, 375-unit affordable multi-family residential building. Both NVF:MJV:JMD

buildings would be located on separate lots with the approval of an associated Vesting Tentative Map (File No. PT20-036) to combine 6 lots and subdivide into two lots.
The project would include 375 affordable units and 314 market rate units. Specifically, the applicant proposes the following:
70 units very-low income (50% or below AMI) – 10% of project 35 units low income (60% or below AMI) – 5% of project 35 units moderate income (80% or below AMI) – 5% of project 235 units at or below 120% of AMI – 34% of project
314 units at market rate
As conditioned in this Planned Development Permit, prior to the issuance of Building Permits or Grading Permits, whichever comes first, the applicant would be required to record a Regulatory Agreement with the City of San Jose.
Structured parking would be provided in each of the two buildings, both accessible from the 26-foot-wide driveway dividing Buildings A and B. Building A would include 335 vehicle parking spaces for both the residents and retail patrons. Building B would include 188 vehicle parking spaces for residents. See the California State Density Bonus Law section below for a discussion on parking provided.
A central paseo would also be constructed between the two buildings. Additional common open space would be located adjacent to the easternmost portion of the buildings as well as in courtyards accessible from the interior of each building.
The project site is accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists from Park Avenue, McEvoy Street, and Dupont Streets. Vehicles would access the driveway to the site from McEvoy Street. The project would include the reconfiguration of Dupont Street so that its intersection with McEvoy Street would now occur south of Building B. An Emergency Vehicle Access Easement would be recorded to allow site access along the paseo.
3. General Plan Conformance. The site is designated Transit Residential on the Land Use/Transportation Diagram of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan and the Diridon Station Area Plan. This is the primary designation for new high-density, mixed- use residential development sites that are located in close proximity to transit, jobs, amenities, and services. This designation may also be appropriate for some sites within Urban Village areas as identified through an Urban Village Planning process. This designation also supports intensive commercial employment uses, such as office, retail, hotels, hospitals and private community gathering facilities. To help contribute to “complete communities,” commercial uses should be included with new residential development in an amount consistent with achievement of the planned job growth and Urban Village Plan for the relevant Urban Village area. The Transit Residential Land Use Designation allows a residential density between 50 to 250 Dwelling Units per Acre NVF:MJV:JMD

(DU/AC). The proposed project has a residential density of approximately 127.59 DU/AC.
The project is consistent with the following General Plan Goals and Policies:
Implementation Policy IP-8.5: Use the Planned Development zoning process to tailor such regulations as allowed uses, site intensities and development standards to a particular site for which, because of unique circumstances, a Planned Development zoning process will better conform to Envision General Plan goals and policies than may be practical through implementation of a conventional Zoning District. These development standards and other site design issues implement the design standards set forth in the Envision General Plan and design guidelines adopted by the City Council. The second phase of this process, the Planned Development permit, is a combined site/architectural permit and conditional use permit which implements the approved Planned Development zoning on the property.
Analysis: The Planned Development Zoning rezoning would allow for specifically tailored development standards to facilitate the project and achieve the density of approximately 127.59 DU/AC, which is consistent with the Transit Residential land use designation of the General Plan and Diridon Station Area Plan. The Planned Development Zoning includes an increased setback over the allowable setback in the R-M Zoning District along Park Avenue to accommodate the grade change for the underpass adjacent to the site. The maximum allowed height of 87 feet would also conform with the maximum allowed height limits set by the Diridon Station Area Plan. As discussed below, the project includes a Planned Development Permit, which would effectuate the Planned Development Zoning District.
Major Strategy #3 – Focus Growth: The Focused Growth Major Strategy plans for new residential and commercial growth capacity in specifically identified “Growth Areas” (Urban Villages, Specific Plan areas, Employment Areas, Downtown) while the majority of the City is not planned for additional growth or intensification. The strategy focuses new growth into areas of San José that will enable the achievement of economic growth, fiscal sustainability, and environmental stewardship goals, while supporting the development of new, attractive urban neighborhoods. While the Focused Growth strategy directs and promotes growth within identified Growth Areas, it also strictly limits new residential development through neighborhood infill outside of these Growth Areas to preserve and enhance the quality of established neighborhoods, to reduce environmental and fiscal impacts, and to strengthen the City’s Urban Growth Boundary.
High Quality Facilities and Programs Policy PR-1.9: As Urban Village areas redevelop, incorporate urban open space and parkland recreation areas through a combination of high quality, publicly accessible outdoor spaces provided as part of new development projects; privately or, in limited instances, publicly owned and NVF:MJV:JMD

maintained pocket parks; neighborhood parks where possible; as well as through access to trails and other park and recreation amenities.
Land Use and Employment Policy IE-1.3: As part of the intensification of commercial, Village, Industrial Park and Employment Center job Growth Areas, create complete, mixed-employment areas that include business support uses, public and private amenities, child care, restaurants, and retail goods and services that serve employees of these businesses and nearby businesses.
Community Design Policy CD-3.5: Encourage shared and alternative parking arrangements and allow parking reductions when warranted by parking demand.
Land Use Policy LU-9.1: Create a pedestrian-friendly environment by connecting new residential development with safe, convenient, accessible, and pleasant pedestrian facilities. Provide such connections between new development, its adjoining neighborhood, transit access points, schools, parks, and nearby commercial areas.
Analysis: The project would allow for a high density mixed-use residential project in a Growth Area (Diridon Station Area Plan), and in close proximity to a major transit center. As discussed above, the project would allow for the construction of 689 housing units, of which 375 units would be affordable. Additionally, the project would include approximately 4,005 square feet of ground floor commercial space to serve the new residents. The project would incorporate a range of open space, including private and public open space within the two buildings as well as a privately owned-publicly accessible paseo that would allow for pedestrian and bicycle connections to and from the site. The project includes a concession for reduced parking under the State Density Bonus Law, thereby promoting the use of alternative transportation at a site adjacent to high quality transit facilities (Diridon Station). Bicycle parking would be provided at convenient locations throughout the development.
4. Diridon Station Area Plan Conformance
Land Use Designation
The subject site is also designated Transit Residential on the Land Use Diagram of the Diridon Station Area Plan (DSAP) adopted by City Council on May 25, 2021 (Resolution No. 80021). The Transit Residential designation is the primary designation for high-density, mixed-use residential development sites that are located in close proximity to transit, jobs, amenities, and services. This designation also supports intensive commercial employment uses, such as office, retail, hotels, hospitals, and private community gathering facilities. While this land use designation allows between 50 to 250 dwelling units to the acre in the Envision San José 2040 General Plan, the sites designated Transit Residential in the Diridon Station Area Plan have a minimum residential density of 65 dwelling units to the acre and a maximum of 450 dwelling units to the acre to facilitate the development of residential densities that are NVF:MJV:JMD

supportive of the vision of this Plan. The allowable density/intensity for commercial projects is a FAR of 2.0 to 12.0 with a minimum FAR of 2.0. Residential/ commercial mixed-use development shall require a minimum of 65 DU/AC with a maximum FAR of 12.0. Given the potential noise, vibration, and aesthetic impacts, residential uses should not be located directly adjacent to train lines unless a residential project can be designed to mitigate these impacts and create a high-quality living environment.
The proposed project would be consistent with the Transit Residential land use designation as it has a FAR of approximately 3.8 and a residential density of approximately 127.59 DU/AC. The project is consistent with the following Guiding Principles of the Diridon Station Area Plan:
Diridon Station Area Plan Policies
Development – D3: Develop strategies to produce new affordable housing units, preserve the affordability of the neighborhoods for lower income residents, and protect vulnerable residents from displacement to ensure low-income residents benefit from new development
Development – D5: Provide a variety of commercial and mixed-use development opportunities, ranging from largescale corporate or institutional sites to smaller infill development sites to create opportunity-rich neighborhoods.
Development – D7: Develop and implement urban design standards that promote walkable, livable, and business supportive places.
Mobility – M2: Create a highly active, safe, and lively pedestrian and bicycle friendly environment with excellent connectivity to Downtown destinations and regional transit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change
Analysis: As previously discussed, the project would include the construction of a high-density mixed-use development consisting of 689 residential units and approximately 4,005 square feet of commercial space. Of the 689 residential units proposed, 375 would be affordable. The project would incorporate a range of open space, including private and public open space within the two buildings as well as a privately owned-publicly accessible paseo that would allow for pedestrian and bicycle connections to and from the site. Bicycle parking would be provided at convenient locations throughout the development to promote multimodal transportation at a site located approximately 700 feet from Diridon Station.
Height
Pursuant to Figure 2-3-13 of the Diridon Station Area Plan, the maximum allowable height for the site is 285 feet. Building A would have a maximum height of 87 feet and Building B would have a maximum height of 76 feet, 6 inches. Therefore, the project would conform with the allowable height limits of the Diridon Station Area Plan.

5. California State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) The project is an affordable housing project as defined in Section 65915 of the Government Code for the State of California. The project would include 375 affordable units and 314 market rate units. Specifically, the applicant proposes the following:
70 units very-low income (50% or below AMI) – 10% of project 35 units low income (60% or below AMI) – 5% of project 35 units moderate income (80% or below AMI) – 5% of project 235 units at or below 120% of AMI – 34% of project
314 units at market rate
As the project is providing 10% of the units at or below low-income levels, the project the project is eligible for the provisions of the State Density Bonus Law pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(b)(1)(A).
The Transit Residential Land Use Designation allows up to 250 DU/AC. The project has a residential density of approximately 127.59 DU/AC. Therefore, the project does not include a request for an increase in density, but only needs to be eligible for a density bonus in order to pursue incentives and concessions, such as reductions in development standards to facilitate the economically viable construction of affordable housing. The project has requested one incentive as follows:
Incentive: Reduction in Code Required Parking Spaces
Pursuant to Chapter 20.90 of the San José Municipal Zoning Code, the project is required to provide 825 vehicle parking spaces. The project is providing a total of 515 parking spaces, a reduction of 310 spaces or approximately 38% via a Density Bonus Concession. The project is not requesting any additional parking exceptions pursuant to Chapter 20.90 of the San Jose Municipal Zoning Code. Additionally, the project is required to provide 174 motorcycle parking spaces. A total of 46 spaces would be provided.
Based on the project applicant’s estimate, each parking space costs approximately $50,000 per space to construct. To provide the required spaces the applicant would be required to provide an additional one or more levels of parking (structured or underground), for an increased cost to the project of approximately $18 million.
An estimated additional $5 million would result from costs due to craning, setting, and assembly costs for modular units. Therefore, the concession for reduced parking would result in identifiable and actual cost savings that will contribute to affordable housing costs. This density bonus concession is an alternative means of reducing parking and is not subject to other parking reduction methods under Chapter 20.90 of the San José Municipal Zoning Code or related transportation demand management measures when required parking is reduced by more than 20%.

Noise.
The project is subject to the performance standards of the TR Transit Residential Zoning District. Pursuant to Section 20.55.202 of the Zoning Code, there are no minimum noise requirements. However, a noise report was prepared by Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. dated September 10, 2021. The noise study identified potential noise impacts of the project including during construction and operation. The site is adjacent to both Park Avenue and a railroad right-of-way. Therefore, the project includes conditions to reduce interior noise levels includes a condition for the project to provide a suitable form of forced-air mechanical ventilation, as determined by the Building Official, for all residential units on the project site, so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant’s discretion to control interior noise and achieve the interior noise standards. The project also includes a condition requiring the construction of a sound NVF:MJV:JMD

7. Downtown Design Guidelines and Standards Consistency The project is consistent with the following provisions of the City’s Downtown Design Guidelines and Standards.
Section 3.2.2 - Building Placement
o Standard - Place a ground level building facade along 70% of each parcel's Public-Space facing property lines (within 10 feet) or setback lines (within 3 feet).
Section 4.3.3 – Streetwall
o Standard B - Create a Streetwall along a Primary Addressing Street or SoFA Addressing Street along at least 70% of the property or setback line. o Standard C - Create a Streetwall along a Secondary Addressing Street along at least 50% of the property or setback line
Analysis: The project provides a streetwall along Park Avenue (Primary Addressing Street) and McEvoy and Dupont Streets (Secondary Addressing Streets). Building A is placed along the entirety of the Park Avenue setback to the north and McEvoy Street setback to the west.
Similarly, Building B is placed along the entirety of the McEvoy Street setback to the west and the Dupont Street setback to the south. As previously discussed, the Planned Development Zoning includes an increased setback over the allowable setback in the R-M Zoning District along Park Avenue to accommodate the grade change for the underpass adjacent to the site.
Section 3.5.2 – Service Entrance Location
o Standard B - Locate service entrances at least 25 feet from the primary pedestrian and bicycle entrance.
Section 3.3.4 – Vehicle and Bicycle Parking Location
o Standard B - Place bicycle parking so that bicyclists do not have to cross vehicular parking or drive aisles to enter the building. Section 3.5.3 – Parking and Vehicular Access Location o Standard A - Locate parking and vehicle entries at least 20 feet away from primary pedestrian entries (except within Porte Cocheres).
Analysis: Pedestrians and bicyclists would be able to access both buildings from multiple entrances along Park Avenue, McEvoy Street, and Dupont Street without crossing vehicular drive aisles. Secure bicycle parking would also be placed on the ground floor at a minimum of 100 feet from each primary building entrance. The primary service entrance is located a NVF:MJV:JMD

minimum of 49 feet from the primary lobby entrance of Building A and 107 feet from the primary lobby entrance of Building B.
Section 4.3.1 – Podium Level Massing
o Standard - Divide Podium Level building massing facing Public Space that creates a facade wider than 100 feet into visibly articulated smaller masses no wider than 80 feet using projections and recesses, materials, shadow relief, or other architectural elements
Analysis: All sides of both Buildings A and B, including the garage screening along Park Avenue are broken up into visibly articulated masses. This is achieved by both changes in plane and building articulation as well as changes in color and material. Building A includes a mix of light sand, white, and gray finished stucco as well as brick veneer at the building corners to highlight retail and pedestrian entrances. Similarly, all facades of Building B are also broken up into visibly articulated masses with changes in plane as well as changes in material and colors to break up long blank walls.

o Standard C - Screen vents, mechanical rooms and equipment, elevator houses, cooling towers, large vent projections, water tanks, or storage areas on the building elevation and rooftop from street level view with enclosures, parapets, setbacks, plant materials, or other means. Use similar means to obscure these items from neighboring buildings, if visible, or design and arrange them to present an ordered and attractive view
Analysis: The project is required to screen any rooftop mechanical equipment in conformance with the Downtown Design Guidelines and Standards.
8. Environmental Review.
The City of San José, as the lead agency for the project, prepared an Addendum to the Downtown Strategy 2040 Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Dupont Residential Project in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, because the development capacity evaluated in the Downtown Strategy 2040 Final EIR included the development under the project at a program level. An Initial Study was prepared by the Director of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement in October 2021 for the Dupont Residential Project to evaluate the impacts of the project, and no new significant environmental impacts or additional mitigation measures beyond those identified in the Downtown Strategy 2040 Final EIR were identified for the project.
The Addendum and supporting Initial Study were not required to be circulated for public review and will be attached to the Downtown Strategy 2040 FEIR as supplemented pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15164(c). The Addendum is available NVF:MJV:JMD

9. Planned Development Permit Findings: Section 20.90.940 of the San José Municipal Code specifies the required findings for the approval of a Planned Development Permit.
a. The Planned Development Permit, as issued, is consistent with and furthers the policies of the General Plan; and
Analysis: As previously discussed, the project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Transit Residential. The Transit Residential Land Use Designation allows a residential density between 50 to 250 DU/AC. The proposed project has a residential density of approximately 127.59 DU/AC. The project complies with the General Plan goals and policies related to Focused Growth, High Quality Facilities and Programs, Land Use and Employment, and Implementation.
b. The Planned Development Permit, as issued, conforms in all respects to the Planned Development Zoning of the property; and
Analysis: As previously discussed, the project conforms with the Development Standards of the General Development Plan for the Planned Development Zoning District (File No. PDC20-020). The newly created R-M(PD) Zoning District would allow for uses that conform with the TR Transit Residential Zoning District, as amended, which includes high density mixed-use developments. Special and Conditional Uses would be subject to the approval of a Planned Development Permit.
c. The Planned Development Permit, as approved, is consistent with applicable City Council Policies, or counterbalancing considerations justify the inconsistency; and Analysis: Council Policy 6-30: Public Outreach Policy was implemented in order to inform the public of the project. An on-site sign has been posted on the project frontage since March 2, 2021. A notice of the public hearing was distributed to the owners and tenants of all properties located within 1,000 feet of the project site and posted on the City website. Staff has also been available to respond to questions from the public. A formally noticed Community Meeting was held on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 to introduce the project to the community.
Approximately 21 members of the public attended the meeting. Issues raised included soundproofing adjacent to the railroad tracks, access to the Coyote Creek Trail during construction, the possibility of adding another crosswalk at the intersection of Park and McEvoy, construction timeline, and rooftop use and noise.

d. The interrelationship between the orientation, location, mass and scale of building volumes, and elevations of proposed buildings, structures, and other uses on-site are appropriate, compatible and aesthetically harmonious; and Analysis: The interrelationship between the orientation, location, mass and scale of the building volumes and elevations of the project buildings and other uses on- site are appropriate, compatible, and aesthetically harmonious. The two five-story residential buildings would both be oriented towards the street and would allow for direct pedestrian and bicycle access. The commercial uses are compatible with the development as they would be located on the ground floor with frontage directly on the street, further activating the streetscape. Additionally, the common open space would be oriented between the two buildings (paseo) and at the rear of both buildings to allow direct access for residents. e. The environmental impacts of the project, including, but not limited to noise, vibration, dust, drainage, erosion, storm water runoff, and odor which, even if insignificant for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), will not have an unacceptable negative effect on adjacent property or properties.
Analysis: All environmental impacts related to noise, vibration, dust, drainage, erosion, storm water runoff, and odor would be temporary and would only occur during construction. Therefore, the project would not have an unacceptable impact on adjacent properties. The project is located adjacent to residential properties across Park Avenue to the north and across West San Carlos Street to the south. Therefore, construction hours would be limited to between the hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday. The project also includes standard environmental permit conditions to reduce and mitigate impacts regarding air quality, dust and emissions control, water quality, and noise.
10. City Affordable Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Findings. Chapter
20.190.090 of the San José Municipal Code requires that any project with a Density Bonus, or an Incentive must make the following findings. a. The Housing Development is eligible for a Density Bonus and any Incentives, waivers or modifications requested.
Analysis: The project includes 35 units (5% of the total units) restricted for very- low-income households earning up to 60% AMI, 35 units (5% of the units) restricted for low-income households earning up to 80% AMI, 35 units (5% of units) restricted to moderate-income households earning up to 100% AMI, and 270 units (39% of units) restricted to moderate-income households earning up to 100% AMI as defined in California Code Section 65915. As the project is providing 10% of the units at or below low-income levels, the project the project is eligible for a Density Bonus under Government Code Section 65915(b)(1)(A).

b. If the Density Bonus is based on all or in part on donation of land, a finding that all the requirements for a land transfer Density Bonus that ae specified in the State Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Law have been or will be met.
Analysis: The project does not include a land donation. c. If the Density Bonus or Incentive request is based all or in part on the inclusion of a Child Care Facility, a finding that all of the requirements for a Child Care Facility Density Bonus that are specified in the State Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Law have been or will be met.
Analysis: The project does not include a Child Care Facility. d. If the Incentive request is for a Mixed-Use development, a finding that all the requirements for a Mixed-Use Incentive development approval that are specified in the State Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Law have been or will be met.
Analysis: The project is requesting an incentive for a mixed-use development. The project is eligible as a “Housing Development” pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(i) as it includes five or more residential units. The project would allow the construction of 689 residential units and 4,005 square feet of commercial space. e. If the Incentive includes a request for approval of condominium conversion, a finding that all the requirements for a condominium conversion Incentive that are specified in the State Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Law have been or will be met.
Analysis: The project does not include a request for condominium conversions.
11. Tree Removal Permit Findings. Section 13.32.100 of the San José Municipal Code specifies the required findings for live tree removals. a. That the condition of the tree with respect to disease, danger of falling, proximity to an existing or proposed structure, and/or interference with utility services, is such that preservation of the public health or safety requires its removal. b. That the location of the tree with respect to a proposed improvement unreasonably restricts the economic development of the parcel in question; or Analysis: The project includes the removal of 26 ordinance-size and 30 non- ordinance-size trees. The trees to be removed are located either within the project building footprint, or within the newly dedicated streets, sidewalks or necessary driveways. The trees to be removed include a mix of Shiny xylosma, White Alder, Chinese Elm, Monterey Cypress, African Fern Pine, Camphor, Mediterranean Cypress, Japanese Maple, Evergreen Ash, Coast Redwood, American Sweetgum, Crepe Myrtle, Callery Pear, Indian Hawthorn, Carob, and Honey Locust trees. The removal of the 56 trees on-site requires the replacement of 166 trees (24-inch box trees) on site. Eight trees would be replaced at a 5:1 ratio, 18 trees would be replaced at a 4:1 ratio, 24 trees would be replaced at a 2:1 ratio, and the remaining 6 trees would be replaced at a 1:1 ratio. The total number of replacement trees NVF:MJV:JMD

required to be planted is 166. Based on the plans provided, 182 24-inch box trees would be planted on-site. The trees to be planted include a mix of California Buckeye, Norfolk Island Pine, Strawberry, King Palm, Jelly Palm, European Hornbeam, Western Redbud, Toyon, Jacaranda, Brisbane Box, Catalina Ironwood, Swan Hill Olive, Sweet Olive and Water Gum trees.
12. Demolition Permit Findings. Chapter 20.80 of the San José Municipal Code establishes evaluation criteria for the issuance of a permit to allow demolition. a. The failure to approve the permit would result in the creation or continued existence of a nuisance, blight or dangerous condition;
b. The failure to approve the permit would jeopardize public health, safety or welfare; c. The approval of the permit should facilitate a project that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood;
d. The approval of the permit should maintain the supply of existing housing stock in the City of San José;
e. Both inventoried and non-inventoried buildings, sites and districts of historical significance should be preserved to the maximum extent feasible; f. Rehabilitation or reuse of the existing building would not be feasible; and g. The demolition, removal or relocation of the building without an approved replacement building should not have an adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Analysis: The project includes the demolition of nine buildings totaling approximately 64,800 square feet. The approval of the demolition permit would not result in the creation or continued existence of a nuisance, blight or dangerous condition nor would it jeopardize public health, safety or welfare, as it would allow for the construction of a mixed-use residential development that would provide much needed affordable housing to the area. The demolition permit would facilitate a project that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. As previously discussed, the project is consistent with all applicable General Plan goals and policies, Planned Development Zoning requirements, applicable city council policies, and Downtown Design Guidelines and Standards. The demolition of the existing buildings would facilitate the construction of two five-story multi-family apartment buildings consisting of 689 units and 4,005 square feet of commercial space on an approximately 5.4-gross acre site. Given the scope of the project, the rehabilitation or reuse of any of the existing buildings on-site would not be feasible.
As discussed in the Initial Study, none of the buildings on the project site or the adjacent properties are listed on any local, State, or federal lists of historically or architecturally significant structures and/or sites, landmarks, or points of interest.
The project site is currently developed with vernacular industrial and ancillary buildings that do not have distinctive architectural features and modern office NVF:MJV:JMD

buildings. Therefore, the buildings are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Resources, or City of San José Historic Resources Inventory. The demolition of any existing buildings on-site would not be approved until the issuance of a grading permit.
