City of Santa Clara Draft 2010-2035 General Plan

City of Santa Clara Draft 2010-2035 General Plan

The proposed Draft 2010-2035 General Plan has a planning horizon through 2035 and includes goals and policies for land use, community design, circulation, housing, public facilities, open space, recreation, conservation, noise seismic, and safety, sustainability, and historic preservation. The 2009-2014 Housing Element is also a part of the Draft General Plan. Potential development identified in the proposed Draft 2010-2035 General Plan includes both intensification of existing land uses and expansion of the allowed uses under the previous General Plan. In addition to the General Plan update, the project include specific General Plan land use designation and map amendments to sites through the City. The purpose of these individual amendments is to modify each site's General Plan land use designation to reflect the existing land use on that site. The project also includes two Redevelopment Plan Amendments. The Bayshore North Redevelopment Plan Amendment and the University Redevelopment Plan Amendment both include a change to the text requiring all land uses in the Redevelopment Area to conform to the proposed Draft 2010-2035 GeneralPlan, as well as to any proposed individual land use amendments within the Redevelopment Project Area.
