SAN JOSE — Five months after the city’s planning director gave the stamp of approval for a 6-story hotel on Winchester Boulevard, a group of West San Jose residents is appealing the decision to the San Jose City Council, citing concerns over traffic, fire safety, building height and incompatibility with the area’s urban village plan.

The 119-room hotel, which would be on a 0.69-acre lot at 1212 S. Winchester Blvd., first made its way in front of the council in January. The council unanimously signed off on rezoning the parcel from residential and commercial but rejected the design of the hotel over concerns the project wasn’t compatible with the neighborhood.
