The Committee will discuss potential impacts of existing and planned development and collaborate to provide their best advice to City Council on how to realistically address these impacts.

The City of San Jose, in coordination with the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and other local and regional transportation agencies, are continuing to develop a plan for a ½-mile radius around Diridon Station (approximately 500 acres of land).
On Saturday, March 27, 2010, community members are invited to join the planning team from the City of San Jose for a Diridon Station Area Plan Alternative Analysis Workshop. The second in a series of community workshops for the Station Area Plan, participants will be involved in hands-on activities to identify preferred land use and station options for the Diridon Station Area Plan.
The Diridon Station Area Plan will provide a vision and guidance for this unique destination with a broad mix of transit-supportive uses. In addition, the Plan anticipates pedestrian, bicycle, open space, and street connections from the greater downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.
