Peery Park Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report

The City of Sunnyvale is pursuing the Peery Park Specific Plan Amendment to expand development capacity within a 450-acre planning area. Because the 2016 Peery Park Specific Plan has nearly reached its limits for nonresidential development, this amendment proposes increasing the maximum buildout to allow for up to 1,200,000 square feet of net new office and research and development uses, along with 1,632 net new residential units. The plan maintains the previous allowance for 200,000 square feet of net new retail uses. Significant growth is expected at the Sunnyvale Business Park site and four housing opportunity sites along Hermosa Court, and the amendment further permits the relocation of the Libby Water Tower, a designated local landmark, within the Business Park property. To facilitate these changes, the City is preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report to evaluate the project's impact on air quality, greenhouse gases, transportation, public services, and other critical environmental factors. The public review period for these environmental documents is scheduled from September 30, 2026, to October 30, 2026. This process ensures that the associated increases in residential and employee populations are properly analyzed and mitigated in accordance with CEQA requirements.
