"Georgia-based PulteGroup wants to transform the Homestead Shopping Center into a 147-townhome development, complete with about 20 affordable homes and 341 parking spaces. The three- and four-story project, located at 3521 and 3591 Homestead Road, also includes nearly 5,000 square feet of commercial space. More than 10 storefronts in the existing shopping center would be demolished, including one of the city's only Korean supermarkets and Chinese herbal medicine shops - and small business owners aren't leaving without a fight."
"Businesses that could be forced to move include Super Kyo-Po Plaza, Fuheng Herbs, Han Tang Wellness & Acupuncture Center, Indian restaurant Kappa and Homestead Wash & Dry. The Santa Clara City Council will likely still need to review the project before PulteGroup can redevelop the shopping center. Business owners who spoke with San José Spotlight said they received notice last February to leave within about a year."

Fuheng Herbs owner Dalong Zhang started a petition, citing threats to livelihoods, customers and employees and insufficient commercial space for the city's large Asian American population.
