San Jose makes the right decision on the Evergreen project

Following up on our Action Alert, I'm glad to report that San Jose has decided to defer action on Evergreen development until it has revised the City's General Plan. See the Mercury News:

The San Jose City Council rejected a proposal Tuesday night to build homes on land set aside for future industrial growth in the city's Evergreen district and voted to require industrial development before housing in the surrounding area.

The proposal involves the loss of open space and especially of burrowing owl habitat and would have set a bad precedent for Coyote Valley. We're glad the City Council voted the way they did.
