The San Jose City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, August 13th, at the San Jose City Council Chambers, to discuss the future of Coyote Valley. Coyote Valley is one of the last remaining open spaces of its size in Santa Clara County, and is reportedly home to many endangered animals and plants. Developers are planning to build housing for 80,000 residents in Coyote Valley, and these plans raise many concerns for the San Jose community. People who are opposed to the development plans will gather on Monday, August 13th at 5pm in front of City Hall, which is located at 200 East Santa Clara Street, and then they will voice their concerns at 5:30pm at the Coyote Valley Task Force meeting in rooms W118-120.

The Coyote Valley is a rural area that separates the two Silicon Valley cities of San Jose and Morgan Hill. Much of the valley lies within the city limits of San Jose. The land in Coyote Valley is largely rural, with a variety of agricultural and open space uses. The valley is surrounded by the Diablo Mountain Range on the east, and the foothills of the Coastal Range on the west. Coyote Creek runs along the east side of the valley, and oak grassland dominates the landscape.
