Dear City Clerk City Clerk,
I ask that you join hundreds of community members and the Planning Commission by following the Planning Department staff recommendation for updating Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 while rejecting the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. Send a clear message that one developer’s interest in one potential redevelopment project should not drive the direction of Citywide policy.
I object to the proposed Alternative Recommendation because it is inconsistent with the city’s General Plan and would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, such as is currently being provided for multiple other large parcels in San Jose.
The most immediate and obvious beneficiary of this harmful policy would be the owners of the 114 acre former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site, which presents an unparalleled opportunity to gain publicly accessible open space for local communities as part of a community-centered visioning process for future development of the site. If the Council would like to consider allowing this site to redevelop, the city should lead a transparent community engagement process to determine how the development of the site could meet the needs of its future residents, the larger community, and the city.
To reiterate, please follow the Planning Department staff recommendation and reject the Alternative Recommendation that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land.
I appreciate your attention and your action in making this possible.
May your holiday season be filled with Love, Compassion and Integrity. Kind regards.
Sincerely,

Dear Honorable San Jose Mayor and City Councilmembers,
I am thankful for the City Council's recent efforts to improve sustainably in the City's general plan and the Council's commitment to protecting our open spaces, as shown in recent efforts to preserve Coyote Valley.
I write to ask that you reject the Alternative Recommendation to the Transportation Analysis Policy 5-1 that would facilitate development on Private Recreation and Open Space land. I object to the proposed Alternative Recommendation because it is inconsistent with the city’s General Plan and would facilitate development of huge parcels of open space without a community visioning process, such as is currently being provided for multiple other large parcels in San Jose.
Thank you,
Ryan Smith

Dear City Clerk City Clerk,
For goodness' sake, it's time we found the will to provide more affordable housing for those who are homeless or near homeless.
If that's even part of what will be developed here, please make the change.
If you need help, I have a team of highly capable residents working on developing a master planned development for housing the un-sheltered and we'd be happy to get involved.
See here for an example of what we're working on:
