San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley and is undergoing a dramatic transformation from a suburban auto-oriented city to a denser, transit-connected urban center. The city's Urban Village strategy concentrates new mixed-use development at designated nodes along major corridors, creating focused pockets of high-density growth. Google's Downtown West mega-project near Diridon Station is catalyzing billions in surrounding development. Planned Development Permits are the primary entitlement mechanism for large projects, while CEQA review and general plan amendments add layers of regulatory complexity. Tracking City Council and Planning Commission decisions is essential for developers navigating San Jose's ambitious growth agenda.
