RE: Draft Peery Park Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report
Background
The Peery Park Specific Plan (PPSP) is an area-wide plan to guide public and private investment activities within the 450 acre area known as the Peery Park District (PPD). The PPD is located in the northwest part of the City and is roughly bounded by California State Route 237 to the north and northwest, Mathilda Avenue to the east, the Caltrain line to the South, and Mary Avenue to the west. A map of the PPD is Attachment 1.
The PPD was primarily developed in the 1960s and 1970s with one-story office and industrial buildings. The PPD is currently poised for redevelopment and is experiencing strong demand for new office and industrial uses. The City of Sunnyvale kicked off the PPSP project by hiring a consultant, Freedman, Tung & Sasaki, in July of 2013 and now after multiple community meetings, meetings with key stakeholders, and study sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council the draft PPSP and draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) are available for public review.
