Past emergency for San Jose projects
Recovery after the Scu Ligtning Complex Fire
FEMA's declaration records list "Scu Ligtning Complex Fire" (FM-5338) as a fire management assistance declaration for Santa Clara County. The incident began on August 20, 2020 and has no end date on record, and the declaration was made on August 21, 2020. This is a county-level record for San Jose planning. For a similar fire recovery, discuss how clearing, utility and construction crews would rest between shifts and which hygiene facilities would remain available. A past event does not mean there is a need today.

Major construction for San Jose projects
Ohlone Mixed Use Development
The Ohlone proposal describes 272 affordable homes in a seven-story podium building, with residential floors above parking and shared amenities. One-, two- and three-bedroom homes and four courtyards describe the eventual residential use. They do not give the number of contractors needing accommodation during construction.
What to confirm for your crew
For a comparable San Jose build, separate the overnight contractor roster from the future apartment count. Ask when the receiving area and temporary connections can be used as the structure progresses. A parking level or future tenant amenity is not an agreed position for sleeping trailers during the work.
CEQAnet received a Notice of Determination from City of San Jose on May 27, 2026, recording an approval date of May 20, 2026, for "Ohlone Mixed Use Development" in San Jose, near West San Carlos Street and Sunol Street. The determination filing does not establish the current work phase; confirm the schedule with the project owner.

Major renovation for San Jose projects
Dartmouth Middle School Fields Renovation Project
The Dartmouth Middle School filing covers reconfiguration and renovation of four ball fields and the track-and-field area along the northern campus perimeter. Its exemption explanation describes replacement of existing facilities without increased capacity. This is outdoor campus work rather than a documented closure of the school buildings.
What to confirm for your crew
A similar San Jose assignment needs its own overnight staffing decision. If travelling workers require housing, identify a receiving property independently of the field layout and check which existing amenities contractors may use. The field-renovation scope alone does not establish a need for replacement showers, kitchens or restrooms.
CEQAnet received a Notice of Exemption from Union Elementary School District on November 20, 2025, for "Dartmouth Middle School Fields Renovation Project" in San Jose, near Blossom Hill Road and Dartmouth Drive. The exemption filing alone does not establish the current work phase; confirm the schedule with the project owner.
