The San Jose City Council is scheduled to consider an appeal of an environmental exemption granted for a proposed data center at 300 Holger Way during its meeting on Oct. 20, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item, listed as 26-1082 ER25-243, is described as an “Administrative Hearing on the Appeal of the In-fill Exemption for a Data Center Use at 300 Holger Way.” According to the agenda recommendation, the council is set to conduct a public hearing to consider the environmental appeal of the Planning Director’s reliance on the in-fill exemption for the project.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns how the city applies environmental review exemptions to data center development, a land use that has drawn attention in San Jose. The hearing will determine how the council handles a formal challenge to that exemption process, according to the agenda.
