Cochrane Commons
Project Description
A Preliminary Review application was filed under SR2019-0038: Cochrane - Morgan Hill Retail Ventures Center also referred to as Cochrane Commons Phase 2. This project has been updated and the applicant requested a second hearing. The project will amend the existing Planned Development combining district to revise and refine the uses allowed within the PD Combining District to reflect the Mixed-Use Flex General Plan designation and those uses that are supportive of retail and typical in the shopping centers of today’s post-recession economy. The amendment also proposes a third pylon sign within the shopping center and near Highway 101 and proposes changes to the existing master plan to reflect a new mix of building types rather than the approved big box retail buildings.
