The Preservation Action Council has launched a petition drive to have the 1949 movie house declared a city historic landmark.
When the San Jose City Council recently approved the annexation of the Burbank Theater, several possibilities suddenly opened up for the geographic landmark on Bascom Avenue. Of course, one possible fate is that it could be torn down for an entirely new development.
The front entrance to Burbank Theater, built in 1949 and photographed here in 2017, shows some of its Art Moderne details.The building is being auctioned Dec. 13, 2021. A challenge to re-using or redeveloping the theater site had been its lack of available parking, but annexation to San Jose would solve that because of the city’s recent elimination of its minimum parking requirements. Leech said that while PAC-SJ, which supported the annexation, sees the potential for the auditorium to be re-used as a community meeting site, the group is open to a restoration and creative re-use of the space.
“Too often in San Jose, we lose hope and say that this will all get paved over or this needs to go away,” said Shoor, who checked on the building often when he worked in Yeager’s office, “and I think there is a real possibility for this site to be a vibrant new place again that balances the future and economic development with the celebration of the past.”
