SITE CONTEXT
The future park at Rinconada Drive is a 1.2-acre parcel of undeveloped land within the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) inventory. It is located at the terminus of Rinconada Drive, adjacent to the Almaden Expressway and Curtner Avenue off-ramp. The site is situated at the western edge of the South San José Planning Area and the northeast corner of Council District 9, within the Canoas Garden and Almaden neighborhood.
The park is positioned within a well-established residential area of South San José, approximately 4 miles south of downtown. The site is surrounded by several existing parks and community facilities within a 1-mile radius , including Canoas Park and Rubino Park to the south, and Lincoln Glen Park and Roy Avenue Park to the west. Approximately one mile east from the site, Highway 87 runs parallel relatively to the Guadalupe River.
This future park location fills a gap in the park system, serving dense residential neighborhoods that are within walking distance of the site.
Within the development area, the neighborhood has a mix of several residential and commercial uses south and east of the site. To the west, the site is bounded by an off- ramp of the Almaden Expressway. The property line at the northern edge of the site aligns with the existing fence, with Santa Clara County right-of-way situated beyond the fence line, extending to the Curtner Avenue off-ramp. The ditch running through the site had an

easement that was previously owned by Santa Clara County, but full ownership was transferred to the City of San José in October 2012.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing site slopes gently from north to south with a natural erosional drainage swale approximately 6 feet deep running diagonally through the empty lot. The site contains scattered mature trees distributed throughout the property, including Northern California Black Walnut, Red Ironbark, California fan palms, conifers, willows, and other broadleaf deciduous species, many of which are distressed or showing signs of disease or rot. Most of the site consists of bare, compacted earth with soils consisting of lean clay and fine sand with traces of gravel. The remaining vegetated areas support seasonal grasses and accumulated organic matter, including pine needles and leaf litter beneath tree canopies.
Recent vegetation clearing removed some of the existing trees with cut tree stumps, logs, and branches, with brush debris remaining stockpiled. The site is completely undeveloped with no existing infrastructure—no structures, utilities, lighting, irrigation systems, paving, or formal pedestrian paths. Site access is provided solely via the Rinconada Drive cul-de- sac, which connects to the surrounding residential neighborhood. The site perimeter features deteriorating chain-link fencing along the eastern, southern, and western boundaries. The existing fencing provides minimal privacy screening, with sections showing rust and damage. The site is currently unsecured and openly accessible from the cul-de-sac as well as through the openings in the cut fences, with evidence of illegal dumping activity.
PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is to develop a passive park that incorporates stormwater management features, while implementing the ideas and priorities conceptualized in the park development project. The park development process included public involvement to distill community priorities around programming and park characteristics. The conceptual design that was a result of community outreach incorporates walking loops, picnic areas, open lawn, a youth lot playground, park furniture, pollinator gardens, native landscaping, fencing, security lighting, and interpretive signage. Upon completion, the park will be owned, maintained, and operated by the City of San José Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOT), which will maintain the site’s bioretention basin.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Two public meetings were held to present the project to the community and to receive their feedback.
Community Meeting # 1
The first public meeting, held on December 6, 2025, included city staff and representatives from City Council District 9, and Vice Mayor Pam Foley. The presentation introduced the preliminary concept plan that incorporated the goals for site development, provided in Figure 5 – High Level Concept Design. Community members provided feedback, including questions about increased habitat and park safety. City staff
PARK SITE AT RINCONADA DRIVE MASTER PLAN 5
conducted a follow-up survey after the community meeting by delivering flyers to neighboring residents and through online email notifications. Most participants were in favor of the site layout along with the individual elements proposed for the park.
Community Meeting # 2
The second community meeting was held on January 29, 2026, where city staff presented a refined concept design. The refined design included a sized bioretention area, defined walking loops, play features for school-age children, and an open lawn. In addition to these features, the design included a distribution of new trees across the site and the expansion of pollinator gardens. The refined concept design is shown in Figure 6.
The table below highlights several key comments from the community outreach meetings with responses provided by the City Design Team.
Comment Response
Increase native plants The concept includes expanded pollinator gardens and use of native landscaping.
Park and Pollinator Maintenance Park features will be maintained by the D
epartment of Parks, Recreation and
Neighborhood Services and the Department
of Transportation will maintain the
bioretention basin.
Park safety and perimeter fencing The concept plan includes perimeter fencing to promote park safety.
Playground safety with incoming
vehicles from the Curtner off-ramp
The playground is located away from the off-
r
amp. Existing freeway vehicular rails are in
place near the off-ramp.
Open lawn use and increase
spacing
The open lawn area was increased, and the
shape was re-adjusted to address multi-use
purpose.
Provide maintenance path Maintenance path added around the bioretention area.

Community outreach helped distill the priorities of the community and led to a final preferred concept plan.
CONCEPT PLAN
The refined concept for the future park site at Rinconada Drive, shown in Figure 6 above, was designed to provide recreational opportunities for the surrounding neighborhood while improving stormwater quality. City staff collaborated with the San Francisco Estuary Institute to identify key objectives and benefits for the project.
The concept plan includes a bioretention area in the western portion of the site that will filter stormwater runoff before being diverted back to the Guadalupe River. Constructing a bioretention basin will improve water quality, support flood control in the neighborhood, and recharge groundwater. The bioretention basin includes specific plant species that remove pollutants and prevent erosion while beautifying the basin.
The project also seeks to improve ecological health by increasing habitat size and structure. A vegetative buffer with trees and understory plants is included on the northern boundary of the park site. The southern area of the park includes pollinator gardens with existing and newly planted trees. Plant species will be selected to support foraging and habitat opportunities for wildlife.
The eastern portion of the site includes a playground, picnic area, and an open lawn for flexible use. Walking loops provide recreational and health opportunities and connect park users to amenities. New trees will be strategically placed to provide shade along the walking paths and seating areas. Interpretative signage will also be included along the walking loop to provide educational opportunities on wildlife habitat and bioretention functions. Perimeter fencing with art panels will further beautify the space and help define park boundaries and entry points.

Ranked Choice Survey Results (Survey #2)
Local Analysis of Survey Results
Background:
The ranked choice voting survey (Survey #2) received a high volume of responses from outside the San José city limits. While surveys have typically been open to any interested respondent, the primary goal of park naming surveys is to engage San José residents, especially those in the neighborhood directly impacted by the park site. In past surveys, the overwhelming response has been from city residents. However, in this case, the survey received more responses from outside the city boundaries than from within the city limits. For this reason, the results were analyzed using zip codes to ensure that the overall survey results reflected feedback from ci
ty residents. The survey includes a required questi on, asking for the respondent’s zip code for this reason.
Results of the Local Analysis:
While 299 total individuals responded to the survey, only 108 of those respondents were from within the City of San José. This represents a 44% local participation in the survey compared to a 56% participation rate from outside the city limits.
The local results generally reflected the entire survey results, in that the same park name (“Bill Kee Park”) received the highest overall ranking. However, the ranked order of the remaining park names shifted. To see t
he full survey results, go to page 51.

1 Curtner
Park
“The park is next to the
Curtner hig hway”
Y es, because i t denotes the geographi c
location of the park. Curtner Avenue is
l ocated near the park si te.
Curtner Avenue appears to be named for
Henry (1831- 1917) and Lucy Latham
(1839- 1926) Curtner. Most historical
documents focus on Henry, an
ent e rp ris ing e a rly pioneer , ma jor
landowner , and philanthropist who was
influe ntial in Wa rm S p rings (Fre mont),
M i l pi tas, and San José. The Curtner
fa mily na me is alre a d y me moria lize d b y
two street names and an el ementary
school in Milpitas.
Attachement C - Analysis of Name Suggestions
The “Curtner Park name suggestion was
recei ved f rom a survey respondent and
will b e inc lud e d a s a na me op tion in
Survey #2. However, t he name,
“Ri nconada Park” was i ncl uded as a
name option in the Name Suggestion
Survey to reflect the geographic location
of the p a rk s ite. Rinconada Avenue is a
neighborhood street that is dire c tly
connected to the park site, is the primary
entrance to the park, and di rectl y serves
the neighborhood. While Curtner avenue
is within p roximity of the p a rk s ite , the re is no direct connection to Curtner Avenue
from the park and the street does not
directly serve the neighborhood .

made significant contributions to San
José.
Bill Ke e wa s as a successful Chinese
American businessman, busi ness l eader,

FILE NO. ER25-137
LOCATION OF PROPERTY Venetian Terrace Park - 2400 Rinconada Drive PROJECT DESCRIPTION Development of a new passive park and installation of stormwater bioretention basin on a 1.4-acre site.
CERTIFICATION
Under the provisions of Sections 15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures of the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as stated below, this project is found to be exempt from the environmental review requirements of Title 21 of the San José Municipal Code, implementing the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended.
15303. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited number of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure.
ANALYSIS
This project is the development of a new passive park on a vacant 1.4- acre site. The park will include walking trails, a picnic area, a playground, and pollinator gardens (Figure 1). Ten trees will be removed from the site, and 20 new trees will be planted. The walking trails will be approximately six feet wide. A new six-foot-tall fence will be installed at the park entrance. Several bollard security lights, park benches and picnic tables will be placed along the walking trails and within the picnic areas. The project also includes the installation of a stormwater bioretention basin to treat stormwater runoff and an approximately 135 feet of new storm drain to connect to an existing storm drain outfall . The Storm drain manhole will also be upgraded to accommodate the project design. Excavation for the bioretention area and the storm drain will be approximately 8 feet deep, while the playground, gardens and trail areas will be approximately 1-5 feet deep.
The project would introduce a new passive park use within an urbanized area. The construction would be minimal and temporary, resulting in minor improvements to the site. For these reasons, the proposed physical changes to the project site would not result in any significant impacts. As the project would result in a new use with minor physical changes, the project qualifies for Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Exceptions:
CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 provides exceptions to the use of Categorical Exemptions where the use of a Categorical Exemption is prohibited under certain circumstances. The City has considered the projects applicability to all of the exceptions under Section 15300.2. An analysis of each of these exceptions in reference to this specific project is provided below.
(a) Location. C lass 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located.
Section 15300.2(a) states that a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may be significant in a particularly sensitive environment . The undeveloped project site is surrounded by development and is not located in a particularly sensitive environment. (b) Cumulative Impact. Bas ed on the above analysis, there is no evidence of a potential significant cumulative impact on the environment from the proposed project. This project involves the development of a new passive park. Therefore, it has been determined that the project will not cumulatively impact traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (c) Significant Effect. Th e project would not result in any significant effects on the environment due to unusual circumstances. This project involves the development of a new passive park. For these reasons, the proposed project site does not have any unusual circumstances that would negatively impact the environment.
(d) Scenic Highways. The project is not located adjacent to or visible from a designated scenic highway.
Therefore, the project is not subject to 15300.2(d).
(e) Hazardous Waste Sites. Th e project is not anticipated to be locate in areas that would be on the list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. This exemption shall not be used for any sites that are on the list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
Exemption for ER25-137 Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture Project Page 2 of 2 (f) Historical Resources. This project will not impact historical resources located on the proposed project site; therefore, Section 15300.2(f) does not apply.
