A Thursday night vote threw a possible wrench in the plans for a development at the Valley Transportation Agency’s Cerone work yard
An empty plot of land in a remote part of north San Jose and owned by the Valley Transportation Authority may become the next homeless housing site, bolstering the city’s interim shelter portfolioBut the plan faces a potential snag. Officials on Thursday evening voted to start drafting up paperwork to finalize the deal while at the same time exploring three other potential spots around the city for the project. Some VTA leaders and workers are pushing back on the idea due to safety concerns.
A final vote on the proposal, located on Zanker Road, is set for next month by the agency’s board of directors. The San Jose City Council has already given the thumbs up to the Zanker Road location. The roughly six-acre spot is just north of Highway 237 and right next to VTA’s Cerone work yard. A multitude of tech buildings, including a half dozen Cisco offices to the south, surround the location.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a voting member of the VTA board and a major proponent of Cerone, said he understands the safety concerns from the community but says those can be addressed with security that already exists at the city’s other interim housing sites. “It’s been a slow and convoluted process getting to this point where we have a design,” he said in an interview. “And we know that can hold the 200 units from the Governor that come at no extra cost to taxpayers. It’s an ideal site.”
The quick passage of the site is crucial in fulfilling the mayor’s ambitious promise of getting 1,000 homeless people off the street by the end of the year. There are slightly under 4,500 unsheltered homeless residents in the city,The Governor’s housing units, which the state will built then pass off to the city to be eventually run by a nonprofit, will feature 120 square foot rooms and include community and case management buildings.
