Acting as the project’s applicant and developer, Borello Asset Management has submitted an Environmental Impact Report with CEQA for consideration regarding a planned development at 1000 South De Anza Boulevard in San Jose. The project would consist of the demolition of an existing single-story commercial building and the construction of a new seven-story residential building on the 0.72-acre site. LPMD Architects are responsible for the building designs.

Once completed, the building would reach a maximum height of 91 feet from grade to roofline, with a total of 77,660 square feet of enclosed space. Of that, 5,017 is to be set aside as common space, with the remaining space being divided into 120 residential units and support areas. 16 of the units are to be designated at affordable below market rate for the area.
The area around the project can be described as semi-walkable, with access to considerable nearby commercial retailers, but with limited public transportation or long-range mobility. The project will include the above-required 148 parking stalls in the building, operated by a mechanical lift.
The project has an expected construction timeline of 14 months, with a possible start date as soon as January 2026. The project can maximize cost and efficiency as it does not require pile driving, and would only involve excavation of a maximum of 10 feet below the ground surface. The project has committed to meeting environmental standards in its construction, and when completed will include four areas of solar installation, providing approximately 46,000 Kw of energy production to offset the building’s needs.

DeAnza should be lined with these types of structures from 280 to Prospect. Housing for all in Cupertino!
Why does this project need to complete an EIR? Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
