The San Jose City Council has approved Costco’s much-debated plans to build a new warehouse store at the Westgate West shopping center with dozens of new conditions to address traffic and safety concerns voiced by thousands of residents.

Despite the project’s numerous economic benefits, Vice Mayor Rosemary Kamei, who represents the area, led the charge to balance the tradeoffs by asking the wholesale retail giant to step up and lessen the potential impacts to neighboring homes and schools beyond what the city initially requested.
