San Jose Planning Approval

Mary writes:

The San Jose Planning Commission gave its stamp of approval to a proposal for a condominium development at 746 The Alameda, which will be the first use of stackable parking in District 6.

The proposal to build eight condominiums above 2,800 square feet of commercial space on the corner of The Alameda and Bush Street was first submitted by developers more than a year and a half ago. Commissioners voted unanimously to rezone the 0.24-acre lot from light industrial to planned development.

The San Jose City Council will review the project on Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. The use of stackable parking will be only the second one in San Jose. The first is a project under construction at First and Julian streets that will have a mechanical lift system.

Condominium owners at 746 The Alameda will have two free-standing spaces and seven two-car mechanical lifts that can be raised or lowered into a ground well without requiring drivers to exit their cars to operate.
