  • I’m excited to announce that the Berryessa Urban Village Project Proposal now includes 3.5 acres that would be dedicated to a Public Urban Market. This market will allow for small, diverse businesses to continue operating as they do at the San Jose Flea Market, and will honor the historical roots of the location. I thank the Bumb family, their representatives, community members, Mayor Sam Liccardo and city staff for the collaboration to make this possible. View the full press release below: Berryessa Public Urban Market near major transit hub will be a San José destination and landmark. Public Market space added to Berryessa Urban Village Plan retains space for businesses and historical significance of Flea Market SAN JOSÉ, CA -- District 4 Councilmember David Cohen and representatives of the San José Flea Market worked to secure a Public Urban Market space so that small, diverse, independent vendors will continue to have a place to conduct business, and to honor the local and cultural significance of the historic 61-year-old Flea Market. “As a resident of the Berryessa area, I have always enjoyed spending the day at the Flea Market, so I’m delighted that the Berryessa Urban Village Plan will include a space where entrepreneurs can develop and thrive, and that will honor the historical roots of the location,” Councilmember Cohen said. “I thank the Bumb Family and their representatives for listening to our community and committing to creating a permanent, public urban market space within the development at the Flea Market site.” The Berryessa Urban Village will be a walkable center where people can live, work and shop with a core of accessible public transportation. This hub will exemplify how livable, transit-oriented communities that reduce our carbon footprint and stop urban sprawl can be created. The Public Urban Market will be a permanent 3.5 acres of the central plaza within the proposed development. In the interim, the proposed plan ensures that the current Flea Market will continue to operate for years to come, allowing time to transition. The owners of the Flea Market have reaffirmed their commitment to their vendors and the San José City Council to give a one-year advanced notice of planned significant changes or transition. San José Mayor Sam Liccardo was pleased to hear that small businesses will have a permanent space within the new development. “I applaud the efforts by the Developer, Councilmember Cohen, and the Community to support the transition of the Berryessa Flea Market into a vibrant, transit-connected Urban Market that continues to support the livelihoods of immigrant families and micro-entrepreneurs,” Mayor Liccardo said. Other local leaders praised the news of the addition of a public market to this important project. “This agreement ensures a public urban space that preserves our vibrant and active history, along with our pressing community needs,” Said Santa Clara County District 3 Supervisor Otto Lee, whose area includes the site of the proposed development. “Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to preserve this space, to Councilmember Cohen and staff for their leadership, and to the Bumb family for their continued contributions to our community.” The Bumb Family, owners and operators of the Flea Market since its inception in 1961, are happy about the latest addition to the project. “We think that an urban public market will be a tremendous asset to the future Transit Village, to the vendors and to the community at large. We’re very excited about it. It will also be awesome to see a new version and the continued legacy of The San José Flea Market” said Brian Bumb, owner of the Flea Market. Longtime vendors at the Flea Market are looking forward to continuing being part of a thriving marketplace. “I’ve been selling at the Berryessa Flea Market for more than 25 years. I think that creating a new public market within this neighborhood is a fantastic idea, and it will be a great opportunity for the Flea Market vendors,” said Jimmy Hernandez, who sells a variety of goods at the Flea Market through his business, Time Warp. The permanent Urban Market is the latest element to become part of the Urban Village Plan. The heart of the area is the Berryessa Transit Center which includes San José’s first BART station, which is expected to host 25,000 daily riders, and VTA bus routes. The proposed development site will include up to 3.4 million square feet of office space, up to 3450 residential units, nearly a mile of creek trails along Penitencia and Coyote creeks, and a new neighborhood park. Across Berryessa Road is a new, vibrant retail center anchored by Safeway and CVS. The Transit Village Project was first approved by the San José City Council in 2007. The rezoning currently pending Council approval will codify a request the City Council made in 2016 for the property owner to substantially increase the amount of office space in the planned development. Councilmember Cohen has been aware of the importance of the proposed Berryessa Urban Village since before taking office in January. “Having an urban public market within a hub of activity and accessible by high quality public transit is something that San José will have in common with other great cities around the world,” Councilmember Cohen said.
