PUBLIC NOTICE

INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

CITY OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

Project Name: 1975 Cambrianna Drive Residential Project

File Nos.: PDC21-011, PD21-012, PT21-034

Description: The project would rezone the site to Planned Development and redevelop the site with 21 single-family homes, which would include four affordable units. Fourteen out of the 21 homes would also include an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The single-family homes would be two-stories, approximately 26 to 28 feet in height, and would be between 1,600 square-feet (sf) and 3,500 sf in size. All but four of the single-family homes would be detached. The remaining four would be attached in two pairs. Four of the 14 ADUs would be attached to the single-family homes, and nine would be located above detached garages in the rear yards. The project would have a net density of 8.64 DU per acre. A State Density Bonus is proposed to secure the additional units, which would allow a 33.5% density increase, or a total of 8 additional dwelling units if the project builds 4 low-income units on-site. The project requests two Density Bonus incentives. The first incentive pertains to San José Municipal Code 19.36.020, which requires the continuation of street that can be continued, whereas Browning Street is proposed to be a cul-de-sac. The second incentive pertains to Municipal Code 19.36.180, which requires minimum 5,000 square foot lot sizes, whereas the project would have lot sizes less than 5,000 square feet. The State Density Bonus permits parking reductions.

The City has performed an environmental review of the project. The environmental review examines the nature and extent of any adverse effects on the environment that could occur if the project is approved and implemented. Based on the review, the City has prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for this project. An MND is a statement by the City that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment because the project will include mitigation measures that will reduce identified project impacts to a less than significant level. The project site is present on the list pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the California Government Code.
