WHEREAS, this City Council has heard and considered the testimony presented 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:
The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein, and after considering evidence presented at the public hearing the City Council finds that the following are the relevant facts and findings regarding this project:
1. Site Description and Surrounding Uses. The subject property is an approximately
9.51-gross-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Cozy Drive and Glider Drive (511 Cozy Drive, APN: 689 -08-001). This site is developed with the former Glider Elementary School, which currently includes the existing school facilities , associated play fields, trees and landscaping, and surface parking areas. The site is surrounded by detached single-family houses on all sides.
Existing vehicle access to the site is provided from three driveways along Cozy Drive and two driveways along Glider Drive. There is direct pedestrian access from sidewalks along both Cozy Drive and Glider Drive. The nearest transit access to the site is via VTA Route 66, which stops at the intersection of Santa Teresa Boulevard and Dunn Avenue, approximately 1,100 feet to the northeast of the subject site.
2. Project Description. The project consists of a Site Development Permit, submitted under the Housing Accountability Act (“Builder’s Remedy”), to allow the construction of 80 single- family houses (64 detached, 16 attached), two new public streets, an approximately 0.68- gross-acre privately -owned publicly accessible park, the demolition of six existing buildings associated with the former Glider Elementary School (totaling approximately 56,644 square feet), and the removal of 48 trees (18 ordinance-size and 30 non-ordinance-size).
The project includes 80 single- family houses, with 64 detached single- family houses and 16 attached single- family houses. There are four proposed plan types. The 16 attached single-family houses have approximately 1,233 square feet of living area, and consist of two stories of living space, an attached one- car garage, and a private backyard. The remaining 64 detached houses range in size from 1,896 square feet to 2,234 square feet. All detached houses are two stories, with three bedrooms, an SAW:DHZ:KMF

attached two-car garage, and a private backyard. Lot sizes range between 1,980 to 7,603 square feet. A total of 11 units (13%) would be reserved for low -income households earning up to 80% of Area Median Income (“AMI”). The project would be served by Cozy Drive, Glider Drive, and two newly constructed public streets, which include curb, gutter, landscape strip, and sidewalk. The project includes the construction of an approximately 0.68-gross-acre privately-owned, publicly-accessible park that would be maintained by a newly formed Homeowner’s Association.
The project includes an application pursuant to the State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) with a request for one incentive/concession to eliminate the zoning code requirement to implement a TDM Plan, and waivers for reductions in minimum lot area and width, minimum lot frontage, front setback, side interior setback, side corner setback, rear interior setback, and rear corner setback.
In conjunction with this Site Development Permit, the project also includes a Vesting Tentative Map (File No. T23-022) to subdivide the existing 9.51-gross-acre lot into up to 81 lots (80 residential lots, one common lot).
The applicant has also requested extended construction hours, with the option to work on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
3. Housing Accountability Act. The Housing Accountability Act prohibits a local agency from disapproving, or conditioning approval in a manner that renders infeasible, a housing development project for very -low, low-, or moderate- income housing or an emergency shelter unless one of six potential written findings are made (Government Code Section 65589.5(d)). Section 65589.5(d)(5) authorizes jurisdictions to deny a qualifying project if both of the following criteria are satisfied: (1) the project is inconsistent with the jurisdiction ’s Zoning Ordinance and General Plan land use designation; and (2) the jurisdiction has a housing element in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law. The “Builder’s Remedy” refers to a penalty for jurisdictions that do not have a substantially compliant housing element, meaning such a jurisdiction may not disapprove a qualifying housing development project based upon inconsistency with both the jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation.
On June 2, 2023, the applicant, TTLC San Jose - Glider, LLC, submitted a Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) Preliminary Application (File No. PRE23-080) under Section 65941.1(a) for the construction of an 80-unit single- family development with 20% of the units reserved for households earning up to 80% AMI. On October 23, 2023, the applicant submitted a formal development application for the subject project, within the 180-day deadline for formal submittal of a project application and with less than a 20% change to the number of units and square footage of the building in accordance with Section 65941.1(e)(1).
On January 29, 2024, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) determined that the City’s Housing Element was in substantial SAW:DHZ:KMF

compliance. Therefore, at the time of submittal of the applicant’s SB 330 Preliminary Application, the City did not have a substantially compliant Housing Element. On March 7, 2025, the applicant informed the City that the project would proceed under the provisions of Assembly Bill 1893, which modified provisions of the Housing Accountability Act specific to Builder’s Remedy projects . Government Code Section 65589.5(f)(7)(A) allows the development proponent to choose which provisions of Section 65589.5 they prefer to be subject to – the Builder’s Remedy provisions as they were before AB 1893 was adopted or as modified by AB 1893. Accordingly, the applicant chose to change their affordable units reserved for households earning up to 80% AMI from 20% to 13%.
Therefore, the project must be considered under the criteria of a Builder’s Remedy project under the definition in Section 65589.5(h)(11):
a. The project is a housing development project that provides housing for very low, low-, or moderate-income households.
Analysis: The project is a housing development project that provides 13% of units for low-income households, which qualifies under this definition pursuant to Section 65589.5(h)(3)(c)(i)(III).
b. On or after the date an application for the housing development project or emergency shelter was deemed complete, the jurisdiction did not have a housing element that was in substantial compliance with this article.
Analysis: The applicant submitted an SB 330 preliminary application on June 2, 2023, prior to the City’s Housing Element being deemed in substantial compliance on January 29, 2024.
c. The project has a density such that the number of units, as calculated before the application of a density bonus pursuant to Section 65915, complies with all of the following conditions:
(1) The density does not exceed the greatest of the following densities:
i. Fifty percent greater than the minimum density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for that jurisdiction as specified in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65583.2.
Analysis: The allowable density for jurisdictions in a metropolitan county pursuant to Section 65583.2(c)(3)(B)(iv) is 30 dwelling units per acre.
Therefore, this section allows 45 dwelling units per acre. ii. Three times the density allowed by the general plan, zoning ordinance, or state law, whichever is greater.
Analysis: The subject property does not otherwise allow housing, and therefore, no density is associated with this section.

iii. The density that is consistent with the density specified in the housing element.
Analysis: The subject property does not appear in the City’s Housing Element, and therefore, no density is associated with this section.
Analysis: Under this Section (1), The greatest applicable density for the subject property is 45 dwelling units per acre.
(2) Notwithstanding clause (i), the greatest allowable density shall be 35 units per acre more than the amount allowable pursuant to clause (i), if any portion of the site is located within any of the following: (I) One-half mile of a major transit stop, as defined in Section 21064.3 of the Public Resources Code; (II) a very low vehicle travel area, as defined in subdivision (h) ; or (III) A high or highest resource census tract, as identified by the latest edition of the “CTCAC/HCD Opportunity Map” published by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and the Department of Housing and Community Development.
Analysis: The subject property is within a high resource census tract of the 2025 Opportunity Map, and therefore, a 35 dwelling unit per acre bonus is allowed , in addition to the density allowed pursuant to section c(1)(i). d. Regarding minimum densities:
(1) On sites that have a minimum density requirement and are located within one-half mile of a commuter rail station or a heavy rail station, the density of the project shall not be less than the minimum density required on the site. (2) On all other sites with a minimum density requirement, the density of the project shall not be less than the local agency’s minimum density or one-half of the minimum density deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for that jurisdiction as specified in s ubparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65583.2, whichever is lower.
Analysis: The subject property is not within one-half mile of a commuter rail station or a heavy rail station. Additionally, the sub ject site does not have a minimum density requirement, as neither the General Plan designation nor zoning include such a requirement. Therefore, there is no minimum density requirement for this project under this section.
e. The project site does not abut a site where more than one- third of the square footage on the site has been used, within the past three years, by a heavy industrial use, or a Title V industrial use, as those terms are defined in Section 65913.16.
Analysis: The subject property has not been used as a heavy industrial or Title V industrial use and does not abut any such site.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65589.5(h)(11), the maximum density for the project is 80 dwelling units per acre. The project has a density of 8 .41 dwelling units SAW:DHZ:KMF

per acre and qualifies under the definition of a Builder’s Remedy project in state law.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D), the project does not require approval of a general plan amendment or rezoning, and shall be deemed consistent with applicable plans, programs, policies, ordinances, standards, requirements, redevelopment plans, implementing instruments, or other similar provisions for all purposes.
4. Site Development Permit Findings.
Section 20.100.630 of the San José Municipal Code specifies the required findings for the approval of a Site Development Permit.
a. The Site Development Permit, as approved, is consistent with and will further the policies of the General Plan and applicable specific plans and area development policies.
Envision San José 2040 General Plan Consistency.
The subject property is designated Public/Quasi-Public in the Envision San José 2040 General Plan Land Use/Transportation Diagram. The Public/Quasi -Public land use designation does not allow for residential development unless the project is supportive housing.
Analysis: While the project is found to be inconsistent with the General Plan designation and multiple General Plan policies, as the project qualifies as a Builder’s Remedy project under Section 65589.5(h)(11), the project is deemed consistent with the General Plan, including applicable policies, pursuant to Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii), and shall not require a General Plan Amendment pursuant to Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(i). Nevertheless, inconsistencies with the General Plan are documented below for the record.
The project is inconsistent with the following General Plan major strategies and policies:
Major Strategy #3 – Focused Growth: [The] Focused Growth strategy … 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. Focusing new growth into the Growth Areas will help to protect the quality of existing neighborhoods, while also enabling the development of new Urban Village areas with a compact and dense form attractive to the City’s projected growing demographic groups that support walking, provide opportunities to incorporate retail and other services in a mixed- use format, and support transit use.
Analysis: This project is outside of an Urban Village and has a land use designation of Public/Quasi -Public in the General Plan’s Land Use/Transportation Diagram, which does not permit residential development unless the project tis supportive SAW:DHZ:KMF

housing. Additionally, the project is in an immitigable Vehicle Miles Traveled (“VMT”) area, which is by definition a car-dependent area, and the project is not a mixed-use, transit-supporting project.
Major Strategy #7 – Measurable Sustainability / Environmental Stewardship: As the City’s guide for growth and development, the General Plan is a unique tool to shape its growth, minimize its impacts on resource consumption, reduce its contribution to global warming, and to preserve and enhance its natural environment.
Analysis: This project is in an immitigable VMT area and has a significant unavoidable impact on both VMT and greenhouse gas emissions. The project results in additional resource consumption and contributes to additional greenhouse gas emissions, leading to global warming.
Land Use Policy LU -1.9: Preserve existing Public/Quasi -Public lands in order to maintain an inventory of sites suitable for Private Community Gathering Facilities, particularly within the Residential Neighborhoods, Urban Villages and commercial areas, and to reduce the potential conversion of employment lands to non- employment use.
Analysis: This project does not preserve existing PQP land within a residential neighborhood and converts potential employment lands (reserved for public use) to a non-employment (residential) use.
Housing Policy H -4.2: Minimize housing’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and locate housing, consistent with our City’s land use and transportation goals and policies, to reduce vehicle miles traveled and auto dependency.
Analysis: This project is located in an area with immitigable VMT with poor alternative transportation methods and therefore does not minimize its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Vibrant Neighborhoods Policy VN -1.2: Maintain existing and develop new community services and gathering spaces that allow for increased social interaction of neighbors, (i.e., parks, community centers and gardens, libraries, schools, commercial areas, churches, and other gathering spaces).
Analysis: This project permanently ceases the use of an existing vacant public school facility.
Education Policy ES -1.10: Encourage and enable the use of available school facilities for child care, private community gathering facilities, public recreation facilities and other dual- and multi-use purposes.
Analysis: This project permanently ceases the use of an existing vacant and available public school facility.

b. The site development permit, as approved, conforms with the zoning code and all other provisions of the San José Municipal Code applicable to the project.
Zoning Ordinance Consistency
Analysis: As the project qualifies as a Builder’s Remedy project under Section 65895.5(h)(11), the project is deemed consistent with the zoning ordinance pursuant to Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii). Nevertheless, conformance with the Zoning Code is included for the record below:
Land Use
The subject property is within the PQP Public/Quasi -Public Zoning District.
However, pursuant to Government Code Section 65941.1, as the subject property was located within the R -1-8 Single-Family Residence Zoning District at the time of the SB 330 Preliminary Application submittal, the project therefore vested and is considered to be within the R -1-8 Zoning District, which allows a single-family house development. Per Section 20.30.010.C.1 of the Zoning Code, the allowable density range for the R -1-8 Zoning District is one to eight dwelling units per acre (“DU/AC”). The project proposes a residential density of approximately 8.41 DU/AC.
Development Regulations
The height and setbacks for the R -1-8 Zoning District are within Table 20-60 of Section 20.30.200 of the Zoning Code, and listed below:

Analysis: The project does not meet the lot size, front, side interior, side corner, rear interior, and rear corner setback requirements for the R -1-8 Zoning District.
While the City may not deny the subject project for inconsistency with the zoning ordinance, the applicant has nevertheless requested waivers to reduce the lot size and setback standards pursuant to State Density Bonus Law. See the State Density Bonus Law section below for more information.
Transportation Demand Management and Vehicle Parking:
As the SB 330 preliminary application was submitted after April 10, 2023, the effective date of the City’s TDM ordinance, the project is therefore subject to the TDM requirements of Chapter 20.90, Part 9 of the zoning code. The applicant has requested an incentive/concession under State Density Bonus Law to eliminate the TDM Plan requirement. See the State Density Bonus Law findings below for more information.
c. The site development permit, as approved, is consistent with applicable city council policies, or counterbalancing considerations justify the inconsistency.
City Council Policy 6-30: Public Outreach Policy for Pending Land Use and Development Proposals
In conformance with the City’s public outreach policy for Large and Significant Community Interest Proposals, on- site signs have been posted on the project frontages since February 14, 2024. A Joint Environmental Impact Report Scoping and Community Meeting was held on October 15, 2024, at the Santa Teresa Library.
Community concerns generally focused on traffic impacts of the new project , parking, loss of public land, project density, building height and setbacks, privacy concerns, strain on public utilities, lack of available public transit, lack of available open space, impacts to biological resources, impacts to air quality, light and air impacts, construction impacts, and increased crime.
The project was noticed to surrounding property owners and tenants at a radius of 1,000 feet. Staff have been available to answer any questions from the public.
City Council Policy 5-1: Transportation Analysis Policy This project is located within an area of immitigable VMT per capita and is therefore subject to Part D.2.B of the CEQA VMT Implementation Procedures in Policy 5-1, for market -rate or mixed- income residential projects without a General Plan Amendment, with significant and unavoidable VMT impacts.

Analysis: While this project does not require a General Plan Amendment to change the subject property’s land use designation from Public/Quasi-Public (PQP) due to its qualification as a Builder’s Remedy project under Section 65589.5(h)(11), staff used the provisions of Council Policy 5-1 as a framework for analysis. Council Policy 5-1 provides guidance on how to mitigate VMT impacts for residential projects in a high VMT area that require a Statement of Overriding Considerations. Since the Builder’s Remedy bypasses the PQP General Plan land use designation to allow for a housing development project as if it were a General Plan Amendment, the transparent and voluntary prov isions of Council Policy 5 -1 offer a pathway to achieving overriding community benefits. Typically, for projects in a high VMT area that require a Statement of Overriding Considerations, Council Policy 5-1 dictates the project should provide transportation improvements, affordable housing, neighborhood-serving commercial space, a fiscal and jobs/housing balance impact study, utilization of recycled water if available, that the project meets or exceeds the City’s parks requirements, and the project provides extensive community engagement through the entitlement process.
The project must meet the following requirements for a project with significant and unavoidable VMT impacts:
1. Are consistent with the City’s General Plan land use designation or future City- initiated General Plan amendments;
Analysis: The project qualifies as a Builder’s Remedy project under Section 65589.5(h)(11) and it is therefore deemed consistent with General Plan requirements under Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii).
2. Demonstrate overriding benefits to the City, as determined by the City Council, in accordance with Public Resources Code 21081(a)(3) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091(a)(3), based on a recommendation by City staff; and Analysis: The project includes the following overriding benefits beyond standard mitigations and requirements found in the Municipal Code and/or state law, as applied to this project, including payment of a VMT offset valuation of $4,055,796 which would fund the construction of improvements to mitigate VMT impacts to the maximum extent feasible. The VMT offset payment will fund Transportation Systems Improvements at the nearby intersection of Santa Teresa Boulevard and Snell Avenue. Improvements include:
• Removal of all four existing pork-chop islands to implement bulb-outs and Class IV raised bike lanes.
• Signal modifications, including the replacement of existing signal poles and associated mast arms and streetlights, and signal improvements.
Additional public improvements, funded directly by the P ermittee, include the construction of two new public streets that would serve the project with ADA curb SAW:DHZ:KMF

ramps, bulbouts, and street trees and the construction of new 12 -foot-wide sidewalks along Cozy Drive and Glider Drive.
Additionally, the project provides 11 affordable units for low-income households making 80% or below of the County’s Average Median Income. This project, therefore, provides a benefit in affordable housing, but does not provide neighborhood-serving commercial space or additional park contributions.
However, the project does provide a new 0.68- gross-acre privately -owned publicly-accessible park. The project is also required to implement a TDM Plan, separate from the Density Bonus incentive/concession requested. The project would replace an underutilized school building with residential development to comply with the City’s Reach Code and Green Building Ordinance. The project also promotes the utilization of existing urban infrastructure and services. The City is unable to require a fiscal and jobs/housing balance impact study for the project since only a Site Development Permit is required; no recycled water is available for the site; and the City is limited by Section 65905.5(a) in the amount of community engagement that can be required for a Site Development Permit.
3. Are consistent with any applicable area plan(s) and policies.
Analysis: There are no applicable area plans for the subject property .
Nevertheless, as a Builder’s Remedy project under Section 65589.5(h)(11), the project is deemed consistent with all applicable plans and policies pursuant to Section 65589.5(f)(6)(D)(iii).
Conclusion: The project is consistent with applicable City Council policies to the extent allowed under the Housing Accountability Act.
d. The interrelationship between the orientation, location, and elevations of proposed buildings and structures and other uses on- site are mutually compatible and aesthetically harmonious.
e. The orientation, location and elevation of the proposed buildings and structures and other uses on the site are compatible with and are aesthetically harmonious with adjacent development or the character of the neighborhood.
Analysis: Findings (d) and (e) do not include objective quantifiable criteria and therefore may not be considered in the approval of this Site Development Permit.
Furthermore, the City Council does not find that approval of the project will be contrary to state or federal law, or that the project will result in a significant impact to the public health and safety in accordance with Government Code Section 65589.5.
Nevertheless, the project consists of the construction of single-family houses in an existing neighborhood that is also developed entirely with single-family houses. f.

purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act ( “CEQA”), will not have an unacceptable negative affect on adjacent property or properties.
Analysis: This project will be required to adhere to standard environmental conditions, including for construction-related air quality, water quality, and noise. The project is 100% residential, which is not considered a source of noise and odor, and the project must adhere to standard building and grading permit conditions, including drainage, erosion, and stormwater runoff. The project does include extended construction hours on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which was analyzed in the associated Environmental Impact Report. As conditioned in this Site Development Permit Resolution, a Construction Disturbance Coordinator shall be appointed and will be required to respond to concerns from neighboring residents and businesses. Therefore, with these conditions, and the implementation of a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan, the project would not have an unacceptable negative effect on adjacent properties.
California Environmental Quality Act.
The City of San José, as the lead agency for the proposed project prepared an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) in compliance with CEQA. The Glider Residential Project’s Draft EIR (“DEIR”) was circulated for public review and comment for 45 days, from January 9 to February 23, 2026. A First Amendment to the Draft EIR was prepared that provided responses to public comments submitted during the public circulation period and revisions to the text of the DEIR. The First Amendment together with the Draft EIR constitute the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) for the proposed project.
Summary of Environmental Impacts Reduced to Less than Significant with Mitigation
The DEIR identified potential environmental impacts to air quality, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and tribal cultural resources.
With implementation of the mitigation measures specified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporti ng Program ( “MMRP”) prepared for the project, these impacts are reduced to less than significant levels. As part of the certification of the FEIR, the City Council will need to approve the associated MMRP for the project.
Summary of Environmental Impacts Determined to be Significant and Unavoidable The DEIR found that the project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to greenhouse gas emissions and transportation due to the proposed project’s location in an immitigable VMT area, pursuant to City Council Policy 5-1. City staff calculated the project's unmitigated VMT is 19.52 vehicle miles traveled per capita.

transportation consultant (detailed below), the project can reduce that number to
17.04 VMT per capita. However, the City's residential VMT threshold is set at 11.39 VMT per capita, resulting in 5.65 VMT per capita that remains unmitigated.
The project includes a TDM Plan to mitigate the VMT impact. The TDM Plan would consist of the project proponent implementing a comprehensive list of TDM measures aimed at reducing the project VMT impact to the extent possible, including a school pool program, a Safe Routes to School program, and a voluntary travel behavior change program.
Since the VMT impact cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level, the project proponent shall also be required to pay the VMT Impact Overriding Offset payment as calculated for the proposed 80 residential units. In lieu of paying the VMT Impact Overriding Offset payment, the project proponent may also elect to construct physical improvements at the Santa Teresa Boulevard and Snell Avenue intersection prior to issuance of building occupancy permits. The project proponent has elected not to implement physical transportation system improvements, including the removal of all four existing pork-chop islands to implement bulb-outs and Class IV raised bike lanes, and signal improvements, and has instead agreed to pay the full VMT offset value of $4,055,796.
Development of the project would also result in additional resource consumption and would contribute to additional greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”), leading to global warming. The proposed project would conflict with several General Plan and Municipal Code policies and regulations aimed at improving air quality and transportation which would also result in co-benefits with reducing GHG emissions.
The proposed land use and its associated GHG emissions were not envisioned in the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy (“GHGRS”). The proposed project would result in higher emissions than the existing land use and is not consistent with the GHG emission projections in the GHGRS. Therefore, the project was evaluated against the design elements in Criterion A of the Bay Area Air Di strict’s (“District”) 2022 GHG Significance thresholds. The project would satisfy three of the four design elements as outlined in the Air District GHG threshold Criterion A, but since the proposed project is inconsistent with the VMT design element, the proposed project would have a significant and unavoidable impact to greenhouse gas emissions per Air District GHG threshold Criterion A.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, a Statement of Overriding Considerations must be adopted with findings that the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits, including region- wide or statewide environmental benefits, of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects if an environmentally superior alternative is not chosen.

Alternatives
The Draft EIR evaluated three selected project alternatives, the No Project, Reduced Density/Increased Park Acreage Alternative that would produce less residential units and a larger park, and the Reduced Trip Generation Alternative that would further reduce residential units on the subject property, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6. Alternatives that were considered but rejected include the Adaptive Reuse Alternative, Location Alternative and the Development Under Existing Designations Alternative.
The No Project Alternative would avoid all project impacts; however, CEQA Section 15126.6(e)(2) requires that when the no- project alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, another alternative shall be identified. The Reduced Trip Generation Alternative would be the environmentally superior alternative beyond the no-project alternative because it would reduce the amount of ground disturbance, construction time and number of new residential units from the proposed project. The Reduced Density A lternative would still be required to implement all identified mitigation measures (except for the transportation mitigation measure) and Standard Permit Conditions identified for the proposed project. As a result, the impacts to air quality, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, noise and tribal cultural resources would be reduced to a less than significant level consistent with the proposed project. The significant and unavoidable impacts to greenhouse gas emissions and transportation would be avoided under this alternative, as the residential unit count would be below the screening levels for City Council Policy 5-1 and would be presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact.
DEIR Circulation Comments
The City received 54 written comment letters during the public circulation period.
Comments were submitted by five agencies and organizations and 47 members of the public. The main concerns raised by commenters are as follows:
• Traffic Impacts
• Recreation and Open Space
• Utilities and Service Systems
• Increased Density and Visual Impacts
• Tree Removals and Replacements
• Emergency Evacuation and Response
The City responded to all comments received on the Draft EIR and incorporated them into the First Amendment to the Draft EIR. None of the comments received SAW:DHZ:KMF

address an issue of adequacy of the Draft EIR and no new mitigation measures are required. EIR text revisions were included in the First Amendment to address clarifications to text of the Draft EIR and other suggested text revisions from commenters.
DEIR Circulation Unnecessary
Staff responded to the comments and questions received during the public circulation period for the DEIR in the First Amendment. None of the comments raised represent new significant information that would warrant recirculation of the Draft EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(a). The recirculation of an EIR is required when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the Draft EIR for public review but before certification. “Information” ca n include changes in the project or environmental setting as well as additional data or other information. New information added to a Draft EIR is not “significant” unless the Draft EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of meaningful opportunity to comment on a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5).
The EIR concluded that the proposed project would result in significant and unavoidable environmental impacts to greenhouse gas emissions and transportation from VMT. No other significant and unavoidable impacts would occur to resource areas under CEQA with implementation of identified mitigation measures. The project includes an MMRP to lessen the identified impacts in the following resource areas to a less than significant level: Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. The MMRP also identifies mitigation measures for Greenhouse Gas Emissions and for Transportation to reduce impacts but not below less than significant levels. Therefore, the EIR that was prepared for the project is the correct clearance for the project under CEQA.
The Final EIR, including the DEIR, First Amendment to the DEIR, and other related environmental documents were posted to the City’s website on August 14 , 2026, and all commenters were notified via email of the document’s availability. The DDEIR and First Amendment are available for public review on the City’s website:

Analysis: The above finding does not include objective quantifiable criteria and therefore may not be considered in the approval of this Site Development Permit.
Furthermore, the City Council does not find that approval of the project will be contrary to state or federal law, or that the project will result in a significant impact to the public health and safety in accordance with Government Code Section 65589.5. Nevertheless, the project includes landscaping in the front setback areas and along all public street frontages. Fencing is proposed for all houses. Individual trash bins will be provided for each unit, and trash bin staging areas are identified on the project plans to ensure there is adequate space for pick-up operations. h. Traffic access and pedestrian access are adequate.
Analysis: Vehicular access to the subject property is provided from two existing public streets (Cozy Drive and Glider Drive) and two newly constructed public streets. The project is conditioned to construct improvements, including a five-foot- wide and seven-foot-wide landscape buffer along Cozy Drive and Glider Drive. The two newly constructed public streets are designed with a 36-foot-wide travel lane, five-foot-wide landscape buffer, and four -foot-wide sidewalk. The project will also fund off-site transportation improvements including removing all four existing pork- chop islands to implement bulb- outs and Class IV raised bike lanes and signal modifications at the intersection of Santa Teresa Boulevard and Snell Avenue.
5. State Density Bonus Law Requests and Findings. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915, the project includes an application under State Density Bonus Law. The project provides 11 units ( 13% of the project total) for low -income households earning up to 8 0% AMI. The project is not requesting a density bonus.
However, the project includes a request for one incentive/concession and multiple waivers.
a. Incentive/Concession 1 – TDM Plan Implementation: Chapter 20.90, Part 9 of the Zoning Code requires projects consisting of greater than 16 detached single-family houses to implement a TDM Plan.
Analysis: A draft TDM Plan was prepared to demonstrate a cost savings for granting an incentive/concession. The draft plan identified costs related to bicycle and pedestrian network improvements (approximately $320,000), provision of transit subsidies (approximately $74,880 annual cost), and vanpool incentives (approximately $45-$60 per month). Therefore, not implementing the TDM Plan would result in a direct and identifiable cost savings and the incentive/concession may be granted. It is noted that this concession is for the zoning code requirement only, and the project is still required to implement a TDM Plan in order to mitigate VMT impacts to the maximum extent feasible.
b. Waiver 1 – Minimum Lot Area: Section 20.30.200, Table 20-60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot area of 5,445 square feet. The subdivision proposes lot areas as low as 1,980 square feet.

c. Waiver 2 – Lot Area and Width : Section 19.36.170 of the Subdivision Code requires a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet and a minimum average lot width of 55 feet. The subdivision proposes lot areas as low as 1,980 square feet and lot widths as low as 32 feet.
d. Waiver 3 – Lot Frontage: Section 19.36.200 of the Subdivision Code requires a minimum lot frontage of 55 feet on a street. The subdivision proposes lot frontages as low as 33 feet.
e. Wavier 4 – Front Setback: Section 20.30.200, Table 20- 60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum 20-foot front setback. The project proposes 10-foot minimum front setbacks.
f. Waiver 5 – Side Interior Setback: Section 20.30.200, Table 20- 60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum 5-foot side interior setback. The project proposes 5-foot minimum side interior setbacks.
g. Waiver 6 – Side Corner Setback: Section 20.30.200, Table 20- 60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum 12.5-foot side corner setback. The project proposes 10- foot minimum side corner setbacks.
h. Waiver 7 – Rear Interior Setback: Section 20.30.200, Table 20- 60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum 20- foot rear interior setback. The project proposes 10- foot minimum rear interior setbacks.
i. Waiver 8 – Rear Corner Setback: Section 20.30.200, Table 20- 60 of the Zoning Code requires a minimum 20- foot rear corner setback. The project proposes 10- foot minimum rear corner setbacks.
Analysis for Waivers 1- 8: Prior to the application of Builder’s Remedy, t he maximum permitted residential density for the subject property is 8 DU/AC. The project proposes a residential density of 8.41 DU/AC. If the project were to adhere to the maximum residential density prior to the application of Builder’s Remedy and the applicable development standards of Title 19 (Subdivision Ordinance) and Title 20 (Zoning Ordinance), the maximum number of units allowed would be 76.
Therefore, as the project consists of 80 units, adhering to the above development standards would result in a loss of four units, and the waivers may be granted.
Chapter 20.190.090 of the San José Municipal Zoning Code requires that any project with a Density Bonus, incentives, or development standard waivers 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 provides at least 13% of units to low -income households, and is therefore eligible for a density bonus, incentives, and waivers under Section 65915(b)(1)(B).

b. If the Density Bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, a finding that all the requirements for a land transfer Density Bonus that are specified in the State Housing Density Bonuses and Incentives Law have been or will be met.
Analysis: The Density Bonus is not based all or in part on donation of land. 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: There is no 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: This is a 100% residential development.
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 request for approval of a condominium conversion.
6. Demolition Findings. Per Section 20.80.460 of the Municipal Code, prior to the issuance of any Development Permit which allows for the demolition, removal or relocation of a Building, the approval authority shall determine whether the benefits of permitting the demolition, removal or relocation outweigh the impacts of the demolition, removal or relocation. In making such a determination, the following factors shall be considered:
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;
Analysis (a and b) : The property contains no nuisance, blight, or dangerous conditions. It would be speculative to conclude that failure to approve the permit would result in the creation of nuisance, blight, or dangerous conditions, or jeopardize the public health, safety, or welfare.
c. The approval of the permit should facilitate a project which is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood;

Analysis: The approval of the permit facilitates a project compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, in that it is a single -family development on a property entirely surrounded by single- family houses.
d. The approval of the permit should maintain the supply of existing housing stock in the City of San José;
Analysis: Approval of the permit increases the supply of existing housing stock in the City of San José. There is no existing occupied housing stock on the subject property, and the proposal would result in 80 new units. e. Both inventoried and non- inventoried buildings, sites and districts of historical significance should be preserved to the maximum extent feasible; Analysis: No historical structures, nor any sites and districts of historical significance, are on the subject property .
f. Rehabilitation or reuse of the existing building would not be feasible; and Analysis: Rehabilitation or reuse of accessory buildings to baseball fields are not feasible for a residential development.
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: Replacement structures would be approved, and this Site Development Permit includes a stipulation that the existing structures could not be demolished prior to submittal of a building or grading permit for the replacement building, or prior to satisfying all required pre-demolition mitigation measures per the EIR.
7. Tree Removal Findings. Chapter 13.32 of the San José Municipal Code establishes at least one of the required findings must be made for issuance of a Live Tree Removal Permit for ordinance-size trees.
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.
Analysis: Based on the Arborist Report prepared by HortScience Bartlett Consulting (Scott Stringer ISA Certified Arborist #WE -554A) dated July 31, 2025, 48 trees are to be removed to accommodate the construction of the project. Of the trees to be removed, 18 are ordinance-size and 30 are non- ordinance-size. The findings above are only required to be made for the ordinance-size trees.
The ordinance-size trees to be removed are five Coast Redwoods, four Deodar Cedars, four Mulberry, two Hollywood Junipers, one Callery Pear, one Incense Cedar, and one Canary Island Pine. All trees to be removed are located within the footprint of the proposed buildings or within the areas required for site circulation (new public streets and sidewalks).

Additionally, 30 non-ordinance-size trees can be removed without findings. The non-ordinance-size trees to be removed include seven Deodar Cedars, five Mulberry, four Accolade Elms, four Crape Myrtles, three Coast Redwoods, two Glossy Privets, two Chinese Pistache, one Callery Pear, one Chinese Tallow, and one Hollywood Juniper.
The City’s Tree Replacement ratio is shown below. Pursuant to the above categorization of trees, the project requires 132 replacement 15-gallon trees to mitigate the removed trees. 18 trees are required to be replaced at a 4:1 ratio and 30 trees are required to be replaced at a 2:1 ratio. The project plans indicate the planting of 159 trees which are 24-inch box or larger, equivalent to 318 15-gallon trees, to comply with the tree replacement requirement.
An offsite tree replacement in- lieu fee, at $775 per tree, will be incurred if the required tree replacement is not met. Proof of tree replacement planting is required. The Permittee shall provide appropriate evidence such as, but not limited to, photographs and/or receipts to the City’s Planning Project Manager of the replacement tree to verify compliance with the tree mitigation requirement. Such evidence shall be sent to the Planning Project Manager, as conditioned in this Site Development Permit Resolution.
