Public Hearings for New City Council District Boundaries
San
José, California
– Public hearings on
proposed changes in Council district boundaries will be conducted on Tuesday, August 14 and August 21.
Both meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at San José
City Hall in the City Council Chambers, located at 801 North First
Street in San José.
The boundaries of these new areas will determine which City
Council district represents each resident.
San José residents are encouraged to attend the hearings and
comment on the proposed boundary changes.
The proposed redistricting plan minimizes boundary changes to
existing City Council districts. The
following neighborhoods would be affected by the proposed plan (i.e.,
moved from one Council district to another): DISTRICT
1
DISTRICT 5
DISTRICT 8 None

Hollow At
the close of the public hearing on August 21, the City Council will
approve an ordinance establishing new boundaries for Council districts
in San José. The second
reading of the ordinance is tentatively scheduled to take place the
following week at the Council meeting of August 28, and the new
boundaries will take effect 30 days following that date. Every
10 years after the Census figures are released, the City establishes new
boundaries for each council district, to ensure equal representation for
all San José citizens. These
changes are being recommended by the Redistricting Advisory Committee,
based on the 2000 U.S. Census figures and public input. For
more information about redistricting, contact the City of San José
Planning Services Division at (408) 277-4576 or visit the City’s
