The City has Initiated a General Plan Land Use and text amendments (File Number GP08-05-01(a-e) GPT08-05-01) to change the designation on most parcels fronting Alum Rock Avenue between King Road and Highway 680 to Transit Corridor Commercial on the San José General Plan 2020 Land Use/Transportation Diagram and modify the Neighborhood Business District boundary for various parcels within the project area (Figure: 2, 3). The project also proposes a ‘form based zoning’ titled Alum Rock Form Based (ARFB) Zoning to provide for future development that supports current and future transit, enhances the pedestrian environment and contributes to the revitalization of the community and area. The development standards are intended to form the basis of a ARFB zoning to facilitate future commercial and mixed use development and streamline the development review process by avoiding the need for individual rezoning of properties.. (Figure: 4, 5, 6). The project area is a .85 mile segment of Alum Rock Ave between King Road and Interstate Highway 680
