PLANNING COMMISSION POSTPONED 'TILL JAN. 11!

















Citing neighborhood concerns, the San Jose Planning Department has taken the Fleming Avenue proposal OFF the Planning Commission agenda for Wednesday, December 7!

The planning department has deferred the item due to our concerns and placed it on the agenda for January 11th. The planning department did this after sending a representative to our meeting on Thursday night and listening to our concerns with this project. Your overwhelming presence at that meeting, and intelligent comments regarding density, traffic and safety have been heard. The Planning Department has, in effect told the developer Braddock and Logan, to come back with a better plan, hopefully with lower density. We can consider this a small victory, but this is certainly not the end of this.

We need to continue doing what we are doing:
-BANDING TOGETHER
-STUDYING THE ISSUES
- KEEPING UP THE HEAT ON OUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES!

Thank you all for your support and hopefully, we can all make our East Foothills neighborhood a better place to live!

Thank you! It's really a neighborhood effort and it would not have happened unless you all cared enough to get involved. We have swatted back what could have been an "ace" serve by the developer, and the ball is now back in his court. We have to stay on our toes to see what comes back.
