The General Plan is often called the blueprint for the future growth and development of a city. San José’s current General Plan was adopted in 1994 and guides the City’s day-to-day decision-making for land use and City services. While the strategies in the Plan serve as a consistent and stable framework, San José’s dynamic landscape continues to grow and evolve. It is once again time to consider our present and look ahead to our future by updating our General Plan...
