RECOMMENDATION
Approve staff recommendation with the following additional direction:
1. Direct the Departments of Transportation and Public Works to explore a green stormwater infrastructure (bioretention) pilot as part of the bike lane upgrade along Trade Zone Blvd. Work shall be coordinated with Stack Infrastructure on any implementation of the pilot.
2. Stack Infrastructure will pay the required tree in-lieu mitigation fees ($326K) at the time of issuance of the first building permit.
3. Stack Infrastructure will make an additional voluntary tree mitigation payment of $40,000, to be deposited in the District 4 One Thousand Tree Project fund at the time of the issuance of the first building permit.
4. Stack Infrastructure will evaluate the site’s parking needs after completion of construction to determine the feasibility of converting the top floor of the parking garage to a combination of solar installation and green roofing.
BACKGROUND
We are excited that Stack Infrastructure will expand their operation in North San Jose. While data centers are very energy intensive, Stack has been a responsible partner in working to mitigate the effects of their operations. We appreciate that they have actively worked with the District 4 office to ensure that they bring an environmentally responsible project forward.
I have always been a proponent of bringing green infrastructure to the forefront and growing our tree canopy throughout our city. I was happy to discuss with them ways they can reduce their carbon footprint and grow the tree canopy despite needing to cut down trees. They have COUNCIL AGENDA: 05/09/2023
