NEIGHBOR MEET & GREET WITH ICE CREAM - Sept 12, 2021 at 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
We hosted a Neighbor Meet & Greet at the site of the future public plaza at 675 E. Santa Clara Street on Sept 12. The purpose of the gathering was to:
VIRTUAL COMMUNITY MEETING #5 - August 25, 5:30 - 7 p.m.
We hosted Community Meeting #5 on Zoom. During the community meeting, we shared a presentation with updates on design revisions in response to community feedback, including adding stoops and balconies, additional parking, and more. We also hosted a Q&A at the end of the meeting.
The designs we shared incorporate feedback from the second round of community engagement as well as the City’s preliminary review process.
The site is located between East Santa Clara, East Saint John, 14th Street and the former 15th Street corridor. It also includes a smaller site on the north side of East Saint John between 15th Street and 16th Street.

The County of Santa Clara owns the land between East Santa Clara, East Saint John, the 15th Street corridor and 17th Street. SCCHA owns the property within the purview of the proposed project for 675 East Santa Clara Street.
● What’s the difference between County of Santa Clara and Santa Clara County Housing Authority?

● What’s happening on the portion of the site owned by the County?
Now that the master planning process is complete, the SCCHA and the County are proceeding separately with their respective portions of the site. Please contact the County directly for information on their development plans: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/faf/capital-projects/escs/Pages/escs-team.aspx.
● What is the East Santa Clara Master Plan (ESC Master Plan)?
The ESC Master Plan is a document created to guide the development of the former San Jose Hospital site. It was the result of a joint process in 2018 and 2019 between the SCCHA and County of Santa Clara, with input from the community.
● What is the East Santa Clara Street Urban Village Plan?
The East Santa Clara Street Urban Village Plan is a City Council approved policy document guiding the future growth in the area around East Santa Clara Street between 7th and 17th Streets, by establishing a framework for the transition of the area into a vibrant mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented district. The ESC Master Plan was developed in conformance with the East Santa Clara Street Urban Village Plan.
