Sobrato continues plans for 975 homes in Willow Glen

Willow Glen is a charming neighborhood in San Jose. A news brief from this dynamic community, courtesy Silicon Valley Community Newspapers http://www.svcn.com/willow_glen/ :
The Sobrato Development plan to transform the vacant industrial buildings on Lincoln Avenue into housing is making its way through the city.
The San Jose City Council tentatively approved a change to the General Plan that would rezone 21.5 acres of industrial park to high-density residential. The approval coincides with the San Jose Planning Commission's recommendation in late March.
On May 2, the project returned to the planning commission for approval for rezoning to planned development.
Like the General Plan amendment, the rezoning would change from industrial park to planned development, allowing up to 975 multi-family residential units and 5,000 square feet of retail space. The city council will make the final decision on the rezoning May 15 at 7 p.m., in city hall chambers, 200 E. Santa Clara St.
The Sobrato project has been in the planning stages for two years, and the project is bound by Lincoln Avenue, Northrup Street, Interstate 280 and Race Street.
