Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Milpitas public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Shared parking at the 660 E. Calaveras commercial plaza
A new adult daycare would share a 133-space lot with a temple, its restaurant, and a Kaiser medical office — and the code math leaves only one spare space. The temple says its approval and lease entitle it to roughly 44-50 spaces, far more than staff's 27, so commissioners sent the whole thing back for a redo.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Report
The city reviewed 13 grant applications requesting over $800,000 in federal funds while expecting around $555,000, prompting council discussion on prioritizing public services, senior support, and housing improvements.
600 Valley Way Residential Development
The Sobrato Organization is proposing to redevelop an underutilized office and industrial site at 600 Valley Way into a 134-unit townhome community with a clubhouse, public pedestrian pathway, and 20 moderate-income affordable housing units. While city officials and developers emphasize the project's contribution to local housing goals and walkability, neighboring residents expressed concerns regarding the proximity of the project trash enclosure and mature pine trees to adjacent properties and a daycare facility.
