San Jose Expands Community Care with New Facility on Union Avenue

The San Jose Planning Commission has approved a Conditional Use Permit for a 1.77-acre residential care facility on Union Avenue. The new structure, designed by Douglas Pancake Architects, will feature a two-story California mission-style building that seamlessly fits into the area’s existing architecture. With 94 resident beds and a staffing of 42, the facility addresses community needs while also creating local employment opportunities. Although 17 trees will be removed for construction, the project is viewed positively due to its potential long-term benefits for a growing and diverse population.

The facility is designed by Douglas Pancake Architects to be a two-story building that complements the existing architectural style of the neighborhood.

This new residential care facility will create 94 resident beds and 42 jobs, enhancing San Jose’s service capacity for its diverse population.

The design team emphasized creating a warm, inclusive environment that promotes both functionality and charm, essential for the care of residents.

While 17 trees will be removed for the project, the long-term benefits of the facility are seen as justifying this trade-off.
