  • Santana West Redevelopment Project
    First Amendment to the Draft Environmental Impact Report Santana West Redevelopment Project Prepared by the September 2016 PREFACE This document, together with the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR), constitutes the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Santana West Redevelopment project. The Draft EIR was circulated to affected public agencies and interested parties for a 45-day review period from June 24, 2016 to August 8, 2016. This volume consists of comments received by the City of San José (City), the Lead Agency on the Draft EIR, during the public review period, responses to those comments, and revisions to the text of the Draft EIR. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the FEIR provides objective information regarding the environmental consequences of the proposed project. The FEIR also examines mitigation measures and alternatives to the project intended to reduce or eliminate significant environmental impacts. The FEIR is intended to be used by the City and any Responsible Agencies in making decisions regarding the project. The CEQA Guidelines advise that, while the information in the FEIR does not control the agency’s ultimate discretion on the project, the agency must respond to each significant effect identified in the DEIR by making written findings for each of those significant effects. According to the State Public Resources Code (Section 21081), no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report has been certified which identifies one or more significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is approved or carried out unless both of the following occur: (a) The public agency makes one or more of the following findings with respect to each significant effect: (1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will mitigate or avoid the significant effect on the environment.

  • Improving Access To, Through and from the Santana Row/Valley Fair Urban Village Area
    Improving Access To, Through and From the Santana Row/Valley Fair Urban Village Area SPUR WHITE PAPER Released October 14, 2015 For more information, contact: Laura Tolkoff SPUR San Jose Policy Director [email protected] Leah Toeniskoetter SPUR San Jose Director [email protected] Special thanks to Sarah Peters at Fehr & Peers, Seth Bland and Stuart MacDonald from Federal Realty Investment Trust, Scot Vallee from Westfield, the San Jose Department of Planning, Building and Code Enforcement, San Jose Department of Public Works, San Jose Office of Economic Development, San Jose Department of Transportation, and Valley Transportation Authority. SPUR | October 14, 2015 THE OPPORTUNITY San Jose is projected to grow more than any other city in the Bay Area in the next two decades. The 174-square-mile city developed in a sprawling pattern but has made a deliberate choice not to continue growing outward. New growth is planned inside the city’s urban growth boundary, in places where there is already infrastructure to support it. As San Jose undergoes the process of becoming more urban, one of the best strategies will be to add people and businesses to existing places. Two good candidates are Santana Row and Valley Fair, side-by-side retail, commercial office and residential destinations in west San Jose that today pull in millions of visitors from all over the region. Due to their economic success, Santana Row and Valley Fair are both planning to expand. This provides an opportunity to identify what works about this area, build on it and give more people a taste of the many benefits of mixed-use, walkable places.
