The project includes the development of a parking area and staging area, and new public access features within the boundary of the Malech Road property. The project would establish a formal entrance with a paved access road and public parking areas; an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible central gathering area and restroom; two walking/hiking trails compliant with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas (ABA); and associated picnic areas, benches, and overlooks equipped with shade structures and interpretive signage. Additional features would include a small service vehicle parking area; bicycle racks; fencing; retaining walls; stormwater capture improvements; revegetation of disturbed areas with native stockpiled soils or an appropriate non-irrigated seed mix (to be approved by the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency or qualified biologist); interpretive signage; and a wayfinding kiosk. The project would be located within the boundary of the Malech Road property, which is an approximately 29-acre site located adjacent to the greater CRID in unincorporated Santa Clara County, southeast of the city of San Jose and northwest of the city of Morgan Hill.
