BACKGROUND
The project site consists of two parcels totaling 21.4 acres located at the southwest corner of Coleman Avenue and Brokaw Road. The majority of the site (20.4 acres) is located in the City of Santa Clara (APN: 230-46-069). The 1.0-acre portion at the southeastern corner of the site is located in the City of San Jose (APN: 230-46-070).
