2021 San Jose Redistricting
January 2022 update:WGNA's advocacy along with your help prevented Willow Glen from being further divided in the redistricting process. Only a small portion of WG was moved including: Parquet Ct, Harris Ave, Harris Ct, Crestmont DrNovember 19, 2021 Update per Councilperson Davis:This Wednesday (11/17) the Redistricting Advisory Commission approved sending all three maps to the City Council.The maps remained the same from the last update with the exception of the Community Map, which has been updated to Community Map 5.0. The differences between the new Community Map and the previous version are as follows:- D6 gains: San Jose Mineta Airport, Rosemary Garden, Civic Center, Coleman, Newhall, and Willow Vale
Currently, the City Attorney’s office is in the process of evaluating all three maps and will provide legal advice to the City Council at the appropriate time. The Commission’s additional recommendations, which are not reflected on any map, will be provided to the City Council.The City Manager’s office is currently working on scheduling a date to bring this topic to City Council. It is possible that redistricting may be discussed at the City Council Meeting scheduled for November 30th.If redistricting makes it to the Nov. 30th agenda, I will send another email inviting you to attend that City Council meeting to make a public comment. Your voice matters in this process!Community Map 5.0 remains the map with the broadest support within the community as it was community-generated and is the most similar to the current configuration of districts.Below is the vote breakdown for each map:D4 (also known as) The Commission Mapo YES – 11o NO – 0Unity Mapo YES – 6o NO – 5Community Mapo YES – 9o NO - 2You can watch Wednesday's Redistricting meeting below. The meeting begins at minute 12:30.
Thank you to those who emailed the Redistricting Commissioners and attended the meetings. Your voice and involvement are crucial to improving our city.Best,Dev_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Do you know that the San Jose Redistricting Commission is considering dividing Willow Glen into THREE Districts?Your input is incredibly important. The results of this process will significantly impact future policies that will affect your quality of life such as single-family zoning and housing density, homelessness, taxes, etc.
During redistricting, boundaries are redrawn so that each state or local district is substantially equal in population. At the local level, this process determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together for the purposes of electing city council and county supervisors.
Gerrymandering efforts designed to give one party or group an unfair advantage over another party or group are always an issue. This year is no exception.
On the county level, the Board of Supervisors, by a 3-2 vote, Susan Ellenberg, Cindy Chavez, and Otto Lee voting in favor, advanced three maps for consideration: the Yellow, Purple and EE 2.0 maps.
The “Yellow” “Unity” Map was submitted by South Bay Labor Council and Working Partnerships USA which many say would benefit their political goals while splitting up Communities of Interest in Almaden Valley, Evergreen Valley, Cambrian, Rose Garden, the Vietnamese Community and more. The San Jose Mercury News says, the Yellow map violates the California Election Code criteria governing the redistricting process. The criteria states that the county should “preserve the integrity of neighborhoods and local communities of interest, which are populations that share common social or economic interests that should be included within a single supervisorial district for purposes of effective and fair representation. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.”
This same group has also submitted a “Yellow” “Unity” map for the City redistricting process. There has been fierce neighborhood opposition to this map as it divides many established communities of interest. It would move over half of Willow Glen into two other districts. Residents worry that splitting neighborhoods such as Naglee Park, Japantown and Willow Glen, will dilute the area’s voice concerning issues such as homelessness, parking, property taxes and city resources.
The good news is that there are two maps that respect communities of interest and do not violate the California Election Code. They are the commission drawn D4 map and the Community Map which was proposed by a grassroots effort from residents in many neighborhoods across San Jose. The City of San Jose redistricting commission has not yet advanced a map to City Council. It will vote on Wednesday, November 17th at 6pm.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
CITY: Email City Clerk [email protected] and [email protected]
and/or Call into the San Jose Meeting on 11/17 at 6pm and tell them to advance the D4 and/or Community Map not the “Unity” map. Keep communities of interest together.
“Willow Glen is a community of interest, the neighborhood needs to stay together. Support the advocacy of WGNA. Please do not divide our neighborhood.”
COUNTY: Email the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors at:
Tell them to vote for the Equal and Equitable Map (EE 2.0) which would avoid dividing neighborhoods and keeps our communities together. Map EE 2.0 follows all best practices, established by the state, for creating County Supervisorial districts. Please do the right thing and vote for Map EE 2.0 to provide fair representation for all our communities in Santa Clara County.

WILLOW GLEN IS A COMMUNITY OF INTERESTWillow Glen is one of Santa Clara County’s oldest neighborhoods which until 1936 was its own incorporated town. Willow Glen residents have a long history of civic and cultural engagement, always striving to create a community built on friendship and kindness with their neighbors. Willow Glen is a welcoming and diverse community representing an inspiring number of ethnic and religious groups with origins from across the globe. Willow Glen is also home to a substantial LGBT population choosing Willow Glen for its sense of community and proximity to the LGBT community center in the same city council district. Willow Glen also has the oldest population – 70 plus – living alone in San Jose and we are focused on assisting our fellow elderly neighbors.
Willow Glen is not only a geographic area but an established, genuine, and well documented community of interest. A community of interest with shared values and experiences including that of commerce, family, history, institutional, religious, schools (private and public), social, youth sports leagues, volunteerism, and civic pride. These are all attributes every neighborhood in the county would hope to develop within its business districts and neighborhoods.
Please note that AB849 encourages maps to be drawn that create geographical compactness. AB849 states district boundaries should be easy to identify, understandable by residents, and utilize natural or artificial landmarks.https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/appointees/city-clerk/redistricting-2020District Commissioners that could also be contacted:Jonathan Bruns D1 [email protected]Lenka Wright D10 [email protected]Enedina Cardenas D2 [email protected]Dee Barragan D3 [email protected]Gloria Collins D4 [email protected]Ramon Martinez D5 [email protected]Andrew Ditlevsen D6 [email protected]Freddie W.

DTWG Illuminated Clock
WGNA CLOCK UNVEILING - MAY 25, 2022 @ 1098 LINCOLN AVE SAN JOSE CA:
The Willow Glen Neighborhood Association in partnership with Republic Urban Properties, held a ceremony to unveil what will be an iconic downtown landmark, a beautiful clock that will adorn the 50-foot tower of Republic Urban Properties’ new headquarters in the heart of Willow Glen – the highest point in the neighborhood. The LED clock, seven feet in diameter, will illuminate on evenings and holidays.
WGNA is forever grateful for those who donated and attended the event, including Councilwoman Dev Davis, Supervisor Cindy Chavez and Supervisor Joe Simitian.
Special thanks to Copita Tequileria y Comida for catering and Republic Urban Properties for hosting the event.
WGNA CLOCK BACKGROUND:
The idea for a clock was the brainchild of Mary Kenter Fox, longtime Willow Glen resident and member of the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association (WGNA). “Many of the greatest cities in the world have clocks in the village center marking the passage of time, encouraging you to look up and notice the world around you, and serving as meeting spots,” says Kenter. But making the concept a reality presented challenges, according to WGNA President De Anna Mirzadegan. “We loved the idea, but the cost and regulatory hurdles of installing a freestanding clock on public property put the concept out of reach,” she recalls.
Enter Republic Urban Properties, which is building its new headquarters at a prime location on the corner of Willow Street and Lincoln Avenue. Brian Yi, Republic’s Director of Investments, also serves on the WGNA board and suggested placing the clock on the tower of the new offices, a highly visible location that stands 50 feet above the surrounding streets. “It was actually serendipitous because there was a large space already available where we had originally planned to put our logo,” Yi explains.
A partnership quickly ensued. WGNA would raise the funds for the clock itself, with Republic covering any gaps in funding as well as the costs for installation and maintenance. “We were very appreciative of Republic’s desire not only to be part of our community, but their enthusiasm in wanting to make our downtown beautiful, thriving, and enjoyable,” says Mirzadegan.
“We believe strongly that community benefits are critical to any type of new development,” says Michael Van Every, President of Republic Urban Properties, “and this was an ideal way to enhance what is already a landmark building.” (“We Build Landmarks” is, after all, a Republic tagline.) “It’s such a simple idea, but it brings an important distinguishing feature to downtown Willow Glen,” he adds.
The clock itself is a classic design whose seven-foot diameter will be clearly visible, especially when illuminated at night. Its LED lighting affords an array of color options that can be used on holidays and special occasions. A commemorative plaque beneath the clock at street level bears the names of those who contributed to the clock’s fundraising campaign as well as a special poem written especially for the occasion by Peter Coe Verbica, a well-known poet, Bay Area resident, and direct descendant of Henry Coe, namesake of Henry Coe Park and Coe Avenue in Willow Glen.

WHY THE WILLOW GLEN CLOCK PROJECT
During a board meeting several months ago, one of our board members presented her idea to have a free-standing clock at one end of Lincoln Ave. This clock would welcome people to our community.WGNA loved the idea of adding this clock but the reality of government regulations, ordinances, the time and costs for a public installation pushed the idea out of reach.
It was at this point we approached Republic Urban Properties with the idea of putting the standing clock on the corner of their lot but, this also presented a challenge. Eventually, we realized we could still move forward with the idea of a community clock, if we could place the clock on the Republic Urban Building itself. Republic Urban, graciously accepted our proposal and offered to cover costs of the installation and maintenance of the clock. We feel this is a win for our community!
The clock will be a seven foot diameter monument clock that will be placed on the fifty foot tower of the office/retail building facing Lincoln; this will be the highest point in Willow Glen. The seven foot clock will feature LED lighting and will illuminate in the evenings and holidays. The planned installation is late March or April. The dedication and unveiling will be in May 25th at 11am.

State and Local High Density Housing
January 2022 Update:
The City of San Jose was forced to enact SB9 during the last council meeting in December and is effective 1/1/22.It allows a single family house to be replaced by four units (without advanced notice, community meeting, public hearing or appeal). It allows for subdividing any residential lot that is over twenty four hundred (2,400) sq ft. It reduces rear setback from 20 feet to 4 feet. If the property is within a half mile of a bus line (approximately 30 houses in each direction) such as Bird, Coe, Curtner, Hamilton, Lincoln, Leigh, Meridian, Minnesota, Newport,Pine, Willow, etc... then parking requirements are waived and thus no garage or driveway required for the new development. All vehicles associated with development would compete for street parking.The City of SJ will consider expanding the number of units from four to a maximum of ten units sometime in 2022. More information: www.ourneighborhoodvoices.comHow do SB9 & SB10 impact San Jose?
Now that SB9 and SB10 have been signed into law by the Governor, you may be wondering how they affect the City of San Jose proposal “Opportunity Housing” (AKA eliminating single family house zoning) and what you can do before the upcoming City Council vote.
What are the key provisions of SB9 and SB10?
SB9 is less extreme than the San Jose proposal. SB9 allows single-family lots to be split into two parcels (each as small as 1200 square feet) and allows a duplex to be constructed on each subdivided parcel. It effectively means any piece of land with one house can be replaced with 4 dwelling units. SB9 requires the owner to live onsite for three years.
SB10 requires a vote by the San Jose City Council to opt-in. SB10 allows up to 10 units plus 4 ADUs (up to 14 units) on single-family parcels in most neighborhoods. It would affect houses that are within a half mile radius of bus lines, impacting approximately 2/3 of the houses in San Jose. Furthermore, SB10 provides no safeguards for historic resources once adopted by a municipal jurisdiction.
How do SB9 and SB10 affect the San Jose proposal to allow up to seven units replacing one house with no public process?
The City Council is still planning to consider the City of San Jose General Plan Task Force recommendation to advance that is even more extreme than SB9. City Council discussion and vote is expected near Thanksgiving. We believe this timing is intended to deter feedback from homeowners.
The well-funded groups and lobbyists driving this proposal in San Jose are not satisfied with SB9. They continue to push for a more extreme local version and for the city council to adopt SB10.
We need to pressure the Mayor and the Council to reject the General Plan Task Force recommendation. It does not require investors to go through the lot-splitting process - a single-family house can be replaced with a 4-Plex plus 3 ADUs without subdividing the property. Furthermore, unlike SB9, which requires the landowner to occupy one of the dwellings for three years, the SJ proposal has no owner occupancy requirement. This shortens the time from demolition to permanently changing your neighborhood block.
It is important to note that the San Jose proposal eliminates the public review process. There is no community notification requirement, no community meeting, no public hearing, and no appeal process. We are unaware of any other city matter where the public review process is being abolished and worry that the city's current public budget process would be next to terminate.
Finally, it is important to remember that San Jose’s current General Plan already accommodates a 40% increase in population by 2040 without implementing this radical proposal that will permanently destroy single-family neighborhoods.
What can residents do now to preserve the quality of life of our neighborhoods?
- Sign the Petition to Save Single Family Zoning in San Jose
- Contact the Mayor and City Council members today. Request the following: Reject the General Plan Task Force recommendation outright and take a public stand now to oppose. Do not vote to “study” since what is “studied” is inevitably implemented. Do not opt in to SB10.
- Understand your locally elected state representatives supported eliminating single family house zoning. State Senator Dave Cortese and State Assembly members Ash Kalra and Evan Low voted to pass SB9 and SB10. Councilmember Dev Davis requested the San Jose City Council oppose both SB9 & SB10 ( approximately 150 California cities such as Milpitas and Los Angeles voted to oppose). Unfortunately, on Aug 11 Councilmembers Peralez, Arenas, and Jones blocked the request at committee and refused to allow the entire city council to discuss.
- Contact Families & Homes - SJ via email ([email protected]) or via the volunteer form on their website (FamiliesHomesSJ.org) to sign up for speaking (web meeting or in person) at City Council meetings when this is on the council agenda. Be sure to provide your email and text information so that we can keep you apprised and provide you talking point
- Make this the #1 issue for the June 2022 election both for Mayor and City Council as no other policy would negatively impact your quality of life.

Save Single Family Zoning
Click here to Sign the Petition
August 24, 2020
The City of San Jose General Plan Task Force voted on August 20th to start the process of eliminating single family zoning throughout all San Jose neighborhoods. This would allow the conversion of your neighbor's home from a single family house to a four-plex development. This is in addition to the two accessory dwelling units allowed under state law.
This would be allowed "by right", which means no community meetings or public hearings; instead on any given day a house would be demolished and construction would start on four to six units. This would result in families being outbid for a house against a profit-motivated buyer who would obtain a higher rate of return from renting or selling four to six units.
This would forever change the character of our beloved neighborhoods throughout San Jose. When residents bought a house on a block with similar houses the expectation was and is that it would remain that way, not that it would be converted to a four-plex.
Many of our streets are narrow and street parking may already be tight. Since California state law does not allow cities to limit the number of cars per dwelling, the result of this proposed change would increase the number of vehicles competing for street parking exponentially.
Before our neighborhoods are irreparably changed, San Jose should complete the existing Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan which shields neighborhoods and locates housing along transit corridors such as the approved developments on Meridian Ave of 233 low income housing units and 365 low income housing units on West San Carlos among others.
Please join Council member Devora "Dev" Davis, Council member Pam Foley, and the Willow Glen Neighborhood Association by supporting the existing General Plan which preserves the character of our cherished neighborhoods.
Please act now to save our neighborhoods by completing this petition which will be sent to Mayor Sam Liccardo and San Jose City Council.
The petition can also be found at http://www.wgna.net/save_single_family_houses.
Due to COVID we are unable to host in-person meetings to share this information but hope to resume so in the future.

Willow Glen Neighborhood Association
