 This 1.4-acre parcel in West San Jose was slated for a U.S. Post Office until it was determined to be too small for the required use. The Riding Company, using unique carriage way single-family detached houses in design, successfully entitled the small parcel with 14 small lots and one standard sized lot to conform to the adjacent homes. The home sizes ranged from 1,950 square feet to 2,150 square feet for the small lots and 2,500 square feet for the standard lot. Significant efforts were required to overcome 50 year-old covenants, conditions and restrictions that potentially limited the overall density of the project. Extensive neighborhood outreach was required to blend the new development into an older, established neighborhood.
