741 S. Winchester Boulevard Residential Project

The 741 S. Winchester Boulevard Residential Project in San Jose, California, involves a notice of exemption for a Site Development Permit submitted under the Housing Accountability Act. The proposed development consists of a seven-story multifamily residential building containing 264 units situated on an approximately 2.97-gross-acre site. The project application includes a request under the State Density Bonus Law for an approximately 9.8% density bonus along with multiple waivers to facilitate the construction. In addition to the building construction, the project requires the removal of 23 trees, consisting of 14 ordinance-size trees and 9 non-ordinance-size trees. The City of San Jose is the managing agency for this forecast, with Cort Hitchens serving as the Supervising Planner. This development is part of a broader effort to utilize the Builder's Remedy to address housing needs through increased density and specific regulatory exemptions.
