Title

Housing Opportunities Study General Plan Amendments Phase III

Description

The Housing Opportunities Study Phase III, Draft EIR for a series of amendments to the City of San Jose General Plan Land Use / Transportation Diagram. Amendments are proposed for 12 sites. The sites are located as follows: Site 1 is on the northwest corner of Blossom Hill Road and Blossom Avenue; Site 2 is on the north side of Berryessa Road, west of the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks; Site 3 is on the south side of Berryessa Road, east of Flickinger Avenue; Site 4 is on the southwest corner of Julian Street and North 27th Street and the south side of East St. John Street from the west side of North 27th Street to the west side of North 26th Street; Site 5 and 6 located near the intersection of Curtner Avenue and Canoas Garden Avenue; and Site 7-12 are separate but adjacent properties located between West San Carlos, I-280, Los Gatos Creek, and Race Street. The land use amendments are proposed in support of the Housing Opportunity Study III (HOS III), which is an ongoing effort by the City of San Jose to identify locations within the City that can reasonably accommodate additional housing and mixed-use development. These changes are intended to reinforce City policies regarding efficient use of land along designated Transit-Oriented Development Corridors, and to reduce the incompatibility of existing and planned industrial land uses near existing and planned residential land uses, while preserving economic development opportunities in the City. These sites are located in Council Districts 3, 4, 6, and 10.
