Envision 2040 Logo

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.

On June 26, 2007 the City Council approved the proposed Guiding Principles, Work Program and Community Participation Program for the Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan Update.On August 7, 2007 the Council approved of the proposed membership of the Envision San Jose Task Force of community members to guide the General Plan Update process.
