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.

Living in Willow Glen

Willow Glen is a neighborhood in San Jose, California. It is located southwest of Downtown San Jose, south of the Midtown and Rose Garden neighborhoods, east of the West Valley neighborhoods, and north of the Cambrian Park neighborhood and the city of Campbell, California. Once an incorporated city in its own right, Willow Glen is today the only part of San Jose that feels like a small town with its own main street--Lincoln Avenue--surrounded by tree-lined neighborhoods of architecturally distinctive single family homes, many of them Spanish-style homes built in the 1920s and 1930s.

Willow Glen is a district roughly 3 miles southwest of downtown San Jose. The traditional boundaries of Willow Glen are the Guadalupe River, Los Gatos Creek, and Coe and Curtner Avenues, though many adjacent areas are usually included today. "Downtown Willow Glen" is on Lincoln Avenue, generally between Coe and Minnesota Avenues.

Gentrification transformed Willow Glen in the 1990s, though it remains a diverse community with Latino, Italian, Asian, Jewish and gay influences contributing to the rich tapestry of a quiet, enjoyable and very livable Silicon Valley community.
