- Document Description
- The City of San Jose is proposing to intensify development allowed within the Rincon de Los Esteros Redevelopment Area in the north part of the City. Rincon de los Esteros is an established industrial park area, with scattered enclaves of high and medium-high density residential, and a subarea that supports light and heavy industrial uses. The proposed intensification would encourage taller office/R&D buildings along the established light rail transit (LRT) line on North First Street, and would add residential development both within a newly designated Industrial Core Area, and through expansion of the existing North San José residential areas. In support of these land use policy changes, the City also proposes to upgrade the transportation network in the area, and modify the transportation policies that currently restrict development. This EIR addresses the impacts of developing approx. 26.7 million sf of new Industrial/office/R&D building space in the Rincon area beyond existing entitlements. Of this 26.7 million sf, 6.7 million represents full buildout of the project area under the existing FAR cap policy and 20 million sf would be the net amount of additional development potential created through the proposed changes to current City policies. This amount of total new development would allow for approx. 83,300 new employees. In addition, up to 32,000 new dwelling units would be allowed in Rincon at minimum densities of 20, 55, or 90 dwelling units per acre depending on their location. Of these 32,000 new units, 7,300 new residential units could be built on properties with existing residential General Plan designations and the remaining 24,700 new residential units could be built on properties within the housing overlay areas proposed by this project or in a mixed use configuration within the Industrial Core Area itself. This wold allow a population increase of approx. 56,640 persons.
