| Flea Market |
Berryessa Road |
|
On Tuesday, July 7, 2009, a community meeting took place to provide residents with an update about the proposed development of the San Jose Flea Market site. In 2007, San Jose City Council approved the rezoning of property located on and around the current site of the Berryessa Flea Market that would allow for residential properties, mixed use and commercial property, and a school. Currently, the project has submitted the first Planned Development Permits (PD Permit), which would allow for construction of 105,000 square feet of commercial and 243 residential units north of Berryessa Road in the first phase. The first phase will also require traffic improvements which include widening of Oakland Road between Commercial Street and Highway 101, adding 2 left turn lanes on Commercial Street and widening of Highway 101-Northbound entrance from Oakland Road.
The Berryessa Flea Market, located south of Berryessa Road, will be untouched during this first phase and approximately 20 acres of the current parking lot will remain open for flea market patrons. It is my understanding that the Berryessa Flea Market will not close until a site has been identified in San Jose as replacement property. |
