San José Arena
(HP Pavilion)

David J. Powers & Associates, Inc. prepared the San Jose Arena Facility (currently known as the HP Pavilion) EIR. This EIR addressed the construction of a 20,000-seat community arena at three alternative locations. The arena accommodates a variety of different events ranging from ice hockey and basketball to concerts and other community events. The EIR contained a comprehensive list of impacts and mitigation measures for each of the three sites. The primary impacts evaluated in the EIR included the following: land use compatibility, traffic, circulation, parking, air quality, noise, soils and geology, hydrology, hazardous materials, cultural resources and urban services.

After the certification of the EIR, the City of San Jose proposed minor modifications to the arena. Our firm was again contracted by the City of San Jose to prepare an Addendum to the Final EIR. We completed the preparation of the Final Supplemental EIR that addressed changes to the arena facility parking program. As part of the preparation of the environmental document, David J. Powers & Associates, Inc. assisted the City of San Jose in preparing a pedestrian and parking monitoring program for the San Jose Arena.
