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...
