North Gilroy residents who were less than thrilled with the prospect of 72 homes being built in their backyard may have to deal with 99.
The old Las Animas Elementary School site at 8450 Wren Ave. is owned by the Gilroy Unified School District and zoned for a public facility. Looking to sell the land at its maximum value, the district is acting as developer, jumping through the necessary hoops to rezone the land as a medium density residential development.
The district's applications for a zone change, tentative map and architectural and site review narrowly passed the planning commission with a four to three vote, with 80 conditions. The proposal was scheduled to go before the city council Monday night but a school board decision postponed the review.
In this video, we show you the land proposed for development and speak with residents concerned about the new housing.
