Public review is being requested for the potential redevelopment of 1921-1927 West San Carlos Street in Burbank, unincorporated Santa Clara County. The proposal includes the annexation of the roughly half-acre property to become part of the City of San Jose while constructing nearly a hundred units of affordable housing. Los Angeles-based PATH Ventures is responsible for the application.

The 83-foot tall structure is expected to yield around 108,900 square feet, including 65,140 square feet for the 94 apartments and 1,950 square feet for retail. Dwelling units will vary, with 24 studios, 22 one-bedrooms, 24 two-bedrooms, and 24 three-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 38 cars and 58 bicycles. Amenities will include support services for households earning between 30-60% of the area’s median income.
Steinberg Hart is listed as the project architect. Renderings show the infill-style apartment structure will rise, with most unit exposure facing east and west. Facade materials will include vertical board siding and stucco. A rooftop deck will overlook the intersection of Cleveland Avenue in San Carlos.

The 0.56-acre property is located along West San Carlos Street between Cleveland Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue. The site is a couple blocks from the retail-lined intersection with Bascom Avenue and San Carlos. Future residents will be 10 minutes from the Westfield Valley Fair and Santana Row shopping centers by bicycle or over 20 minutes away on foot. Downtown San Jose is just 17 minutes away by Bus Rapid Transit or bicycle.
Construction is expected to last around 18 months, with the CEQA documents hypothesizing work could last from January 2027 and finish in the summer of 2028. The estimated cost has yet to be shared.

94 apartments and only 38 car parking spaces? That’s by and for idiots and developer suck-ups.
Build it, build it, build it
Considering the location, that is not a lot of parking! Also why is an affordable housing project going through public review? There are ministerial pathways to get affordable housing projects built faster without any public discretion! SB 35, AB 2011!!
This is a handsome building. This is the type of thing that we need to see more of in the Bay Area: human-scaled, minimal parking, and quality design.
I will take this over greenfield sprawl in Morgan Hill or Tracy any day.
