ParkmoorRace/1stAmend/First Amendment to the Draft EIR.pdf . The proposed General Plan Amendments would change the site’s General Plan Land Use/Transportation diagram designations on the site from Industrial Park to High Density Residential (25-50 dwelling units per acre). The allowed uses under the High-Density Residential land use designation are typified by three- to four-story apartments or condominiums over parking. This change in land use designations would allow the future development of 538 to 1,075 residential units, replacing the existing industrial structures on the site
Environmental Impact Report for Flea Market General Plan Amendment and Planned Development Rezoning (File # GP/GPT06-04-01/PDC03-108) to change the land use designation of the site from Combined Industrial/Commercial on 24.3 acres to Transit Corridor Residential (20+ DU/AC) with a Flexible Land use Boundary; to increase building height limit from 120 feet to 150 feet on a portion of the site south of Berryessa Road; and add a Major Collector roadway through the project site between Mabury and Berryessa Roads.

General Plan 2020 EIR: A General Plan is an adopted statement of policy for the physical development of a community. The San Jose 2020 General Plan is the City's official policy regarding its future character and quality of development. The General Plan describes the amount, type and phasing of development needed to achieve the City's social, economic, and environmental goals. It is the policy framework for decision making on both private development projects and City capital expenditures.
LOS EIR (PP02-178): The City of San José is proposing a modification to the City of San José 's Transportation Impact Policy. According to the proposed policy, a project's traffic improvements would be unacceptable if future vehicular capacity-enhancing improvements would result in a physical reduction in the capacity and/or a substantial deterioration in the quality (aesthetic or otherwise) of other planned or existing transportation facilities (such as pedestrian, bicycle and transit systems and facilities). In addition, the City has identified 13 intersections at which vehicular capacity improvements beyond those already built or under construction would result in potentially significant adverse impacts (referred to as protected intersections). However, the policy only proposes to designate 8 of the 13 intersections as “protected” (see map). Therefore, future development projects which result in level of service (LOS) impacts at these intersections would be required would not be required to provide vehicular LOS improvements; rather, these project would be required to provide other improvements to the transportation network.
Housing Opportunity III EIR: for a series of amendments to the City of San José 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 José 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 Developme
Greenline/Urban Growth Boundary for the adoption of a Greenline/Urban Growth Boundary for the City of San Jose and the adoption of related policies by Santa Clara County. The proposed UGB would identify the long term limit for urban development and extension of urban services within the City of San Jose . The UGB is proposed to be established by amendments to the text and the Land Use/Transportation Diagram of the San Jose 2020 General Plan. Amendments to the text of the 1995 Santa Clara County General Plan would acknowledge the City's UGB for purposes of cooperative planning. The City's UGB would be implemented and supported by amendments to the San Jose Municipal Code and by a City/County Joint Policy Statement.
FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) Master Plan Update: for the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) Master Plan Update to allow the construction of the Off-Airport Elevated Automated People Mover (APM) which will be located between the SJC and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Metro/Airport Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station on North First Street. The APM is intended as a mitigation measure for SJC-generated traffic and air quality impacts by providing a non-roadway mode of access to and from the Airport for air passengers and employees. The SEIR also contains an update to the noise analysis that was contained in the 1997 EIR. Council District: 3

THE KING AND DOBBIN TRANSIT VILLAGE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING AND US 101/OAKLAND/MABURY AREA DEVELOPMENT POLICY :The 24.8 acre zoning project site is currently developed with approximately 421,000 square feet of light industrial and warehouse buildings. The project proposes rezoning the site to allow residential densities ranging from 20-110 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC). The project proposes to demolish the existing structures on the site and construct up to 1,300 residential units, 50,000 square feet of commercial space, and three-acre park on the site. The proposed residential units include approximately 136 affordable residential units that will accommodate the relocated San José Family Shelter. The majority of the site is located within the BART Berryessa Station Area Node, which calls for an overall minimum density within this BART station node of 55 dwelling units per acre. The proposed PD zoning is consistent with a General Plan Amendment (GP06-03-01) approved for the site by the San José City Council in December 2006. The approved General Plan Amendment converted the land use designation of the site from Light Industrial to Transit Corridor Residential (20+ DU/AC) with a “ Floating Park ” .
The proposed affordable housing and family shelter component of the project will seek federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The EIR analysis will include an Environmental Assessment to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and HUD requirements.
