Gas Station to High-Rise Hotel in San Jose Lynbrook?
by Cupertino Schools REALTOR Michelle Carr Crowe
West San Jose neighbors were surprised last week as all San Jose council members voted to approve the 1090 S. De Anza Hotel Project, with the exception of District 1 Council member Chappie Jones and Raul Peralez.
For people who live, work and own property in the West San Jose Lynbrook High School area, this change may affect traffic, noise, and property values.
The proposed 1090 S. De Anza Hotel Project is at the former Chevron gas station and car wash at the corner of Via Vico, between Rainbow and Bollinger. It calls for a new four-story, 90-room Hampton Inn & Suites with one level of underground parkinh on the ~.61 gross acre site.

Just under 50 comment letters were received, with the overwhelming majority against the project.
