The City of San José is planning for its future, and we want your voice to be part of that conversation.
As part of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan, the Urban Village strategy supports the development of housing and job growth in key commercial corridors such as Saratoga Ave. This growth is accompanied with updated policies to promote a complete community that is more walkable, bike-friendly, and transit-connected. Urban Villages are designed to support a healthier, more sustainable city by reducing car dependence, revitalizing underutilized properties, and promoting strong local economies.
Urban Villages are planned intentionally to include a mix of housing types, employment options, and amenities such as places to gather. They are a key part of the 2040 General Plan to create better connected neighborhoods that address pressing priorities in housing affordability and environmental resilience. Urban Villages were carefully selected to support San José’s long-term environmental, fiscal, and transportation goals while respecting the existing character of established single-family neighborhoods.
City staff and our office are currently sharing early draft concepts for the Saratoga Urban Village Plan. We are working to gather as much community feedback as possible from residents, neighbors, tenants, property owners, and business owners. If you live, work, or spend time in the area, we want to hear from you. Your input and participation will help shape the future of land use, housing, transportation, open space, and amenities in this vital part of West San José.
Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey on the draft concepts:

Our office will be hosting an additional community meeting in the near future, where we will share more details and continue gathering feedback. We will also be canvassing the area and posting updates on social media to make sure everyone has a chance to participate.
