Preliminary permits have been filed for a single-family subdivision at 6821 Silver Creek Road in the southeast outskirts of San Jose, Santa Clara County. The proposal would bring 77 homes to a hillside property nestled between undeveloped rolling hills. Hai Huynh of Silver Creek Valley Estates LLC is listed as the project sponsor.
The permit application was submitted through the County of Santa Clara’s public permit system. The brief description provided by the owner states the development would create 77 single-family homes to the hillside property. Across the project, ten units will be designated as deed-restricted affordable housing.

Seems fire proof. /s
An urban growth boundary is desperately needed in San Jose. There‘s so much blight and empty lots but instead of fixing it, they are letting developers build outward? Yea, no.
San Jose has had an urban growth boundary for a long time, and this particular property is outside it. Not sure how the developer plans to evade this, but I am sure they have something in mind.
JUST SAY NO. JUST SAY NO.
This is terrible news. I grew up in San José back in the time of orchards and farms, and the suburban sprawl over the years has completely ruined it. This project should never be allowed. Perhaps the owner can get some tax credits or whatever for donating the land as permanent open space.
Surprised that an organization like POST didn’t buy this land to preserve it from development.
POST seems to be concentrating on holding the line in the Coyote Valley right now, and of course, they have done an incredible job slowing down the construction of techlord mansions in the Santa Cruz Mountain foothills. I don’t know how active they are in the Diablo Range on the east side of the Santa Clara Valley.
This site is outside San Jose city limits and it’s beyond the urban growth boundary. San Jose and Santa Clara County need to deny this project. No more wildland interface development. Leave it to the cows and the coyotes.
