A plan to revamp St. James Park is up in the air after a state court’s ruling.
St. James Park revitalization proposal, showing pavilion and other upgrades, located near the corner of North First Street and West St. James Street in downtown San Jose, concept.
In October 2020, the city Planning Department approved a city Parks Department request for a historic preservation permit to enable the project to proceed. The foundation representing the interests of the social club claimed city officials failed to follow proper environmental assessments that the park revamp proposal — in particular, the pavilion component — would have on historic structures in the area.
“The proposal maintains and enhances the unique historic aspects of the park and re-organizes the now largely undefined central open space into outdoor rooms with distinct character, including the Levitt Pavilion,” CMG, a landscape and architectural firm that designed the park revamp, stated in a post on a city webpage.
