The cost to lease the land for the RVs will be in the millions, city officials said.
San Jose’s Berryessa neighborhood could end up serving as the city’s largest-ever sanctioned parking site for RV dwellers, with up to 85 vehicles legally allowed to park in a highly industrialized spot along Coyote Creek as part of a larger strategy to reduce homelessness.
The safe parking site — about a mile from the nearby Berryessa BART station — could exceed $24 million in costs over a half-decade if on-site improvements and service expenses are included. Though the parking lot would have no maximum stay rule, the ultimate goal would be connecting its residents with permanent housing, according to city officials. The city doesn’t currently have an estimated opening date.
