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.
