This CFD is the newest addition to Special Landscape Districts and is currently under development. We anticipate having maintenance as of 06/01/2008.
Description
 CFD 12 is located on the east side of US Highway 101 and Bernal Road. This maintenance district was developed on a non-urban hillside. While it surrounds approximately 200 residential homes it also backs up to existing open space that is home to wild turkeys and pigs. Due to the location, the construction of detention basins, drainage ditches, swales, and a pump station have all been developed to provide environmental solutions for storm and sanitary sewer services to this community. There is also a cattle crossing/gate along the emergency access road and walking trails that lead to the open range. A bioswale and frog wall has been added to this new development site, the latter to accommodate the endangered California Red Legged Frog (Rana aurora daytonii), providing it a safe harbor by containing them in their existing environment.
Tree Services
All trees located in the bioswale will be maintained by the City of San José. The species breakdown includes native sycamore (Platanus racemosa) and Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia). Street trees on interior streets are not maintained by the CFD. CFD tree service includes:
• Pruning, planting and removal/replacement
• Fertilization
• Monitoring
• Pest control using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques
