Milligan Parking Lot Project

The Milligan Parking Lot Project, specifically the Madera Residential Project Update 4 under solicitation SP20-019, is a Special Use Permit Amendment approved by the City of San Jose on December 3, 2025. The amendment modifies the project by changing the exterior material from fiber cement board to stucco on levels above the pedestrian level and extending Saturday construction hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. through August 2027 to reduce the project timeline by up to 90 days. These changes are consistent with the Downtown Strategy 2040 Final Environmental Impact Report and the Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan, with a Notice of Determination confirming that no new significant environmental impacts were identified. The broader development at 255 West Julian Street involves a mixed-use project featuring residential units and retail space. The construction schedule is estimated to span approximately 32 months, starting in early January 2026 and concluding in August 2028, covering phases from demolition and excavation to superstructure and final sitework. Key compliance requirements include adherence to the City's 2030 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, BAAQMD air quality thresholds, and ADA-compliant curb ramp reconstruction. Additionally, as a Level 2 project, it must submit annual Transportation Demand Management compliance forms and fees to the City Department of Transportation.
