We request that you agendize for your April 1, 2020 meeting a public hearing for consideration of nomination of the Bank of California building as a City Landmark. This building, located at 170 Park Avenue is historically significant due to its association with master architect César Pelli, and with a key development period in San Jose. While there are other buildings that hold historic significance in the development footprint and although just shy of 50 years old, this building stands out and should be a landmark. It is the only example of Pelli’s personal body of work in San Jose. In addition, the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. I attach a letter of support from DOCOMOMO NOCA. The letter indicates that this building is significant not only to San Jose, but regionally, and as part of a worldwide effort to bring appreciation to Brutalist architecture.

  • San Jose Moves Forward with Proposal to Be First City in Us to Develop
    Press Release Office of Economic Development FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAN JOSE MOVES FORWARD WITH PROPOSAL TO BE FIRST CITY IN U.S. TO DEVELOP ORGANICS‐TO‐ENERGY BIOGAS FACILITY Large scale production of renewable energy to further San Jose Green Vision goals, grow innovation and create jobs SAN JOSE, CALIF., June 17, 2009—The San Jose City Council has moved San Jose closer to becoming 100 percent energy independent by authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop guidelines and potential lease terms for the development of an organics‐to‐energy biogas facility on a 40‐acre site near the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. The biogas facility is planned to be constructed and operated by Zanker Road Biogas. The MOU would set forth the guidelines and workplan for the potential lease terms of a biogas project. If the negotiations for the MOU are successful, the City of San Jose would issue the lease to Zero Waste Energy Development Company, Inc., a partnership between GreenWaste Recovery and their sister company, Zanker Road Resource Management. For this project, GreenWaste would partner with Harvest Power, Inc.—a company funded in part by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that provides industry leading technology and project development capability to harness the renewable energy in organic waste. The proposed facility would be the first in United States, pending development of lease terms and the necessary regulatory and environmental approvals, as well as approval of the City’s partners in the Water Pollution Control Plant. The facility could take in up to 150,000 tons of organic waste per year to process and produce energy—from waste what would have been destined for a landfill.
