SP25-029 and ER25-243 300 Holger Way Data Center Project

The project at 300 Holger Way in San Jose, California, involves the interior conversion of an existing 97,800-square-foot research and development building into a 20-megawatt data center without any exterior modifications, new construction, grading, demolition, tree removal, or landscaping changes. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15332 as an in-fill development, with no significant environmental impacts anticipated on traffic, noise, air quality, or water resources. The facility will operate using existing utility infrastructure and will not install new equipment such as emergency generators. The lead agency, the City of San Jose, has certified the exemption and filed the necessary documentation with Santa Clara County, including the Notice of Exemption and a CDFW No Effect Determination. The project is located within the Industrial Park zoning district and aligns with the Envision San José 2040 General Plan. Payment for environmental filing fees was processed through the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder’s Office via check or credit card, with no federal contracting vehicles or procurement mechanisms involved. The applicant, Holger Technology Partners LLC, is responsible for implementation, and the primary point of contact is Charlotte Yuen of the City of San Jose’s Planning Division. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract line items, delivery schedules, pricing, or performance metrics are applicable as this is not a federal contract but a local land use and environmental compliance action. The project identifiers SP25-029 and ER25-243, along with the County Clearinghouse number ENV26195 and Assessor’s Parcel Number 097-03-132, serve as administrative references for the exemption process, with filings processed at the County Clerk’s Office in San Jose.
