The project would also include reallocation of 3,095 planned dwelling units from the North San José growth area to other growth areas identified in the Envision San José 2040 General Plan (2040 General Plan).

Location:  The project location comprises the City of San José which is located in the easterly half of the Santa Clara Valley at the southern tip of the San Francisco Bay.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires this notice to disclose whether any listed toxic sites are present at the project location. While there are multiple sites Citywide on the list, none of the housing opportunity sites identified in this Housing Element Update are contained in the Cortese List of toxic sites.
