SUBJECT: Set General Plan Hearing
Second Review Cycle for
October 22, 2024
DATE: October 2, 2024
Approved Date:
10/1/24
RECOMMENDATION
Set the General Plan Second Review Cycle of 2024 for a City Council hearing beginning on the afternoon of October 22, 2024, to consider a City-initiated General Plan amendment.
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 October 22, 2024 hearing cycle would include the General Plan hearing on the City Council agenda. This General Plan hearing is to consider a text amendment to the General Plan to align it with the recently adopted San José Mineta International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan and to incorporate the City-modified Airport Influence Area (AIA) overlay to be adopted by City Council override of the Airport Land Use Commission-adopted AIA. The hearing will commence the second General Plan hearing cycle of the calendar year 2024.
