Petition updateSupport our Neighborhoods - Say NO to High-density Stevens Creek Blvd Urban Villages!Community Meeting or First Stevens Creek Urban Village Project - Fortbay
United Communities for Sensible Development (UC4SD)
Mar 23, 2018
The Fortbay project at 4300 Stevens Creek Blvd is likely to be the first Stevens Creek Urban Village project approved, and has been made even more dense and taller over time, with increased office space, further exacerbating the area's jobs:housing imbalance, increasing traffic, and overcrowding local schools. A community meeting is being held on Monday, March 26 for public input. (Link to meeting notice from City of San Jose: http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sanjoseca.gov%2FDocumentCenter%2FView%2F75520&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNErUqeeOH8sCzCV4Wi3RwlJOIdEOQ) Monday, March 26, 2018 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Cypress Community Center (Multi-Purpose Room) 403 Cypress Avenue San José, CA 95117 Note that the proposal does not show a public park from the developer, even though a memo authored by Councilman Chappie Jones in Dec 2016 had at one time committed to a 1 acre park, the project has grown significantly from the original proposal, and City staff recommended that “the development provide a 2.0-acre to 3.5 acre neighborhood serving park as part of the project.” Now the community gets nothing in exchange for increased traffic and crowding in the area. Can we trust San Jose councilmen to follow through with commitments to the community a little more than a year later? Express your displeasure to Council Jones by attending the meeting! Also - the City of Santa Clara's attorney has sent comments in response to the NOP for the EIR. You can read them at www.uc4sd.com, and going to the Fortbay project page.
