Glider Residential Project

True Life Companies, LLC proposes the Glider Residential Project in San Jose, California, which involves the demolition of an existing school at 511 Cozy Drive to develop 80 residential units on a 9.51-acre site. The development will consist of 64 single-family detached homes and 16 single-family attached homes, with 11 units deed-restricted for lower-income households. The project includes the creation of a 0.68-acre public park featuring shade trees, picnic tables, and benches, along with 2.09 acres of public right-of-way. The City of San Jose serves as the lead agency, and the project has undergone a comprehensive environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act, including a Final Environmental Impact Report that identified significant unavoidable impacts regarding greenhouse gas emissions and transportation. The project performance period is scheduled from June 1, 2026, to November 17, 2028, beginning with demolition in June 2026 and concluding with architectural coating in November 2028. Technical assessments have been completed covering air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology, hydrology, and noise. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was conducted by Cornerstone Earth Group, Inc. to identify recognized environmental conditions. While the City Council approved the project on September 15, 2026, the development must adhere to specific mitigation measures and regulatory standards, including California Code of Regulations Title 22 for hazardous waste labeling and various ASTM standards for environmental site assessments.
