Agnews East School Site Project

Document Description: The proposed project is the acquisition of 57 acres of the Agnews East Camp by the Santa Clara Unified School District for the construction of a K-12 school campus. The existing buildings and structures on the project site would be removed, with the exception of the water tower, which would be preserved in place in the southeastern corner of the site. The maximum capacity of the K-12 school would be 2,800 students. The future development of school facilities would include playfields, landscaping, and parking for students, visitors, teachers, administrators, and parents. The playfields, some of which would be lighted, may be a joint-use facility between the District and the City of San Jose of private recreational entities. Mature trees on the site would be retained to the extent possible. Primary access to the school would be from Zanker Road.
