San Jose City Council, Planning Commission, and Board of Adjustment process planned development permits, rezonings, and conditional use applications across the city. The Urban Village strategy concentrates mixed-use development at designated nodes along Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara Street, and other major corridors. Google's Downtown West project near Diridon Station has generated a cluster of surrounding planned development and general plan amendment filings. North San Jose sees frequent general plan amendments converting industrial park land to transit residential designations near Berryessa BART. CEQA review adds timeline to larger projects throughout the city.
