Rationale for the change including but not limited to labor market analysis Changing the Center’s location will address the instability of a leased site and better accommodate the changing needs of our student population. The Onizuka site is close to population growth areas and the source of much of Foothill‐De Anza’s current student population. The site is located in an attractive area in Moffett Business Park, a dynamic and growing part of Sunnyvale with access and proximity to key employers in the region. 2/17/20164Sunnyvale Center Substantive Change
