Greenbelt Alliance In the News
January 13, 2004 Group wins architects award for Coyote Valley proposal Subheading Frank SweeneyThe Greenbelt Alliance has won an award from the American Institute of Architects for its "smart growth" vision of San Jose's Coyote Valley. The alliance's plan, "Getting It Right: Preventing Sprawl in the Coyote Valley," won the AIA's 2004 Honor Award for Outstanding Regional and Urban Design. Coyote Valley is a 6,800-acre expanse of farmland between developed South San Jose and Morgan Hill. It was planned for high-tech development, but the economic bust of the past several years put plans by Cisco Systems and others on hold. The city is developing plans that call for massive office parks with huge parking lots in the northern part of the valley, and housing tracts to the south. But the Greenbelt Alliance plan calls for integrating employment centers, housing and shopping to "create a sense of community as opposed to the typical sprawl model," alliance spokesman Dan Fahey said. ### |
