Welcome to San José's Housing Site Explorer, a map and database that let's you identify potential sites for new housing development.
You can explore all properties in the San José, using the map's filters and search shortcuts to pinpoint a specific property, explore a specific neighborhood, or develop a list of properties that meet a set of your criteria.
Every property in San José has a detailed parcel page with property data. There are some predefined filter sets that flag properties of interest, for instance, properties that meet the criteria for the City’s “1.5-acre” rule that allows for infill affordable development on commercial properties.
HOW TO USE THE MAP
Best viewed in Chrome browser, the map first appears as a mass of colored dot across the city of San Jose. As you zoom in, the actual shapes of the parcels appear. Clicking on a parcel and then on the address in the box will open a detailed parcel profile.
You can also conduct a smart search by address or street name.
To find properties appropriate for development, use the filter tools on the left, allowing a targeted search, for instance, for properties of a certain size in a mixed-use neighborhood.
The tool also allows you to create a data spreadsheet of your search results, and you can add or modify the search terms right from the spreadsheet.
