UPDATE: Please note that the previously scheduled community meetings for the Urban Village have been moved to December 9.
The planning process for the District 1 Urban Village is now here. The first general community meetings to help design District 1’s newest urban village—running from El Paseo de Saratoga and Westgate West at the Saratoga border, up Saratoga Avenue all the way to the entrance of I-280 — will take place on two in-person meetings on December 9 and December 11 with meeting details TBD. A follow-up Zoom meeting is also available for those unable to come in person that day.
This process will establish new and revised land uses designed to bring homes, jobs, and amenities closer together and to allow for more walkable, bikeable communities. They are essential to ensuring that San José plans thoughtfully for future growth in order to minimize the cost of service delivery, improve overall quality of life, and minimize social, fiscal, and environmental impacts from new development. You can read more about them at City of San José Urban Villages.
For those interested in receiving updates and participating, please feel free to sign up using the Paseo de Saratoga Urban Villages Updates Form.
