San Jose Planning and Land Use Publications & Information

 

1) San Jose City Council Public Outreach Policy 6-30

http://www.sanjoseca.gov/planning/pdf/Public%20Outreach%20Policy.pdf

It looks great, but you should NOT assume that all the city departments use the policy. Currently (as of August 2005) ONLY Planning and part of Transportation uses part of the policy while Parks Recreation and Neighborhood Services(PRNS)have a separate policy and Transportation - City Arborist, Public Works and others have not implemented the policy.  The 2 Departments who do use the policy have not fully implemented: 

1- On Site Signs (Only partially implemented for New projects since July 1, 2005)

2- on Line Email Notification List is still not implemented  It is common in San Jose for the City Council to issue a policy and city departments not implement or only partially implement the city council policy, not enforce it, or only enforce it during the work week and not on the weekends.
