Specific Plans

Overview

Specific Plans

The City Council has approved several Specific Plans in key locations within San José to foster transit-oriented development, historic preservation, mixed uses, sensitivity to surrounding neighborhoods, and other strategic goals. Each Specific Plan explains the vision for future land use development in the plan area with a detailed land use plan, design guidelines, and implementation strategy. Each Specific Plan was developed with community and other stakeholder involvement at the time of its preparation. The text for each of the Specific Plans is available for download (in PDF format) at the links below, or can be obtained at City Hall with associated printing and postage fees. These Plans are:

Alviso Master Plan (39 MB .pdf)

Berryessa Swap Area Neighborhood Plan (7 MB .pdf)

Communications Hill Specific Plan (17 MB .pdf)

Evergreen Specific Plan (29 MB .pdf)

Jackson - Taylor Specific Plan (3.93 MB .pdf)
Jackson - Taylor Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (5 MB .pdf)

Martha Gardens Specific Plan (7 MB .pdf)

Midtown Specific Plan (19 MB .pdf)

Rincon South Specific Plan (9 MB .pdf)

Silver Creek (31 MB .pdf)

Tamien Station Area Specific Plan (6 MB .pdf)

The major features of each Specific Plan are directly incorporated into the San José 2020 General Plan as either a Planned Residential Community or Planned Community. For example, the Communications Hill Specific Plan is described in the General Plan as the Communications Hill Planned Residential Community. As the Specific Plans have been modified by Council action, these changes are reflected in the respective Planned Community designation.

Please be advised, however, that the Specific Plans posted at the links above generally appear as they were originally published and adopted by City Council. Several of the Specific Plans have been amended numerous times, altering their original text. Planning staff is working to incorporate these amendments into the published content of the Specific Plans within the near term.
