Should SJECCD develop 27 acres adjacent to the campus

Should SJECCD develop 27 acres adjacent to the campus
The San Jos​é-Evergreen Community College District ("District") plans to develop 27 acres of surplus land for an annual income of  $1.5 Million deposited into the district general fund.

Current proposal

“The San Jos​é-Evergreen Community College District ("District") intends to enter into a long term ground lease with a developer for the approximately 27 acres of land adjacent to Evergreen Valley College ("Surplus Land"). The Surplus Land includes the old District Office site, the existing Police Academy as well as land which is currently not improved. The Surplus Land is adjacent to San Felipe Road and Yerba Buena Road. It is expected that the selected developer will, at its own cost, obtain land use entitlements for the Surplus Land and construct a mixed use project which will probably include, among other uses, multi-family rental housing and retail space. The selected developer will pay a substantial amount of rent to the District.  Our goal is to ensure that there are additional (financial)  resources, especially during economic downturns, to help our students achieve greater success.​”
