GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: SET GENERAL PLAN HEARING DATE: April 30, 2024
FIRST CYCLE FOR JUNE 2024
Approved Date
5/1/24
RECOMMENDATION
Set the General Plan First Review Cycle of 2024 for a City Council hearing beginning on the afternoon of June 11, 2024, to consider City-initiated General Plan amendments.
BACKGROUND
Consistent with state law, no mandatory element of the General Plan shall be amended more frequently than four times per calendar year. Policy IP-3.1 of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan allows staff to hold City-initiated General Plan amendments up to four times a year and limits City Council consideration of privately initiated General Plan amendment applications to one of those cycles.
The proposed June 11, 2024, hearing cycle would include the General Plan hearing on the City Council agenda. This General Plan hearing is to consider Mobilehome Park General Plan amendments and an amendment to apply the Mixed Income Housing Overlay to two parcels in North San José. The hearing will commence the first General Plan hearing cycle of the calendar year 2024.
ANALYSIS
In the interest of bringing to City Council General Plan amendments, the Planning staff is requesting that the General Plan hearing commence on the afternoon of June 11, 2024.
