San Jose council denies resident’s appeal of Winchester Hotel
A last-ditch attempt by a group of West San Jose residents to kill a 6-story hotel on Winchester Boulevard has failed.
Among the resident’s complaints, many of whom live in the adjacent neighborhoods, were concerns about the influx of traffic the hotel will bring, the building height and the dissonance with the area’s urban village plan. A decade ago, city officials identified 60 urban villages across the city with the vision of transforming underutilized, low-density portions of the city into vibrant locales where people are able to work, shop and dine within blocks of their home. The strategy hasof what was imagined, with the council approving only a fraction of the blueprints.
Because city officials determined the project ultimately meets the general plan and urban village’s guidelines, the council’s hands were essentially tied.
