SPUR Comments on San Jose 2040 General Plan Amendments

SPUR comments on two proposed amendments to the San Jose 2040 General Plan.

Advocacy Letter

The San Jose Planning Commission proposed two amendments to the 2040 General Plan: 1) To increase the downtown density cap from 350 dwelling units per acre to 800 dwelling units per acre; and 2) To propose new language intended to promote job-generating land uses instead of housing. SPUR supports the first proposed amendment, but believes the second proposed amendment may have the potential to cause unintended consequences.
