Present Land Use
The San Martin community is zoned and planned as a rural agricultural and residential area with small scale neighborhood commercial land uses.
Document Description
The Project is the incorporation of a new city to be called the Town of San Martin located in southern Santa Clara County between the cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy. The incorporation, if approved by LAFCO and supported by a majority vote of registered voters in the area, would transfer general governance and jurisdiction over service provision and land use decisions from the County of Santa Clara to the new town of San Martin. The project also involves the establishment of planning boundaries such as the urban service area and sphere of influence for the new Town of San Martin. No new development or new services are associated with the proposed project. The Project does not include changes in land use, as the new Town upon incorporation will adopt the Santa Clara County Zoning Ordinance and General Plan.
