County Island Annexations
In April 2006, the San José City Council launched a three to five year program in which the City of San José will annex the remaining “islands” (or “pockets”) of less than 150 acres of unincorporated County of Santa Clara land. Unincorporated islands are governed by and receive services from the County even though they are completely or substantially surrounded by incorporated, or City, lands.
Upon annexation, the land use and general governing responsibility will change from the County of Santa Clara to the City of San José. This change will enable residents in these County islands to receive urban services from the City rather than the County and empowers registered voters to vote in City elections. The City of San José will have general government authority over and provide services such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, and library, parks and neighborhood services to these areas.
This site provides a range of information on the citywide annexation policies and process, details on specific pockets, and outlines the changes and outcomes that can be anticipated as a result of annexation.
Much of the information on this site can be found in the Annexation Answer Book, developed to provide detailed information about the annexation process, opportunities for public involvement, and changes property owners can expect once annexation occurs.

Zoning designations outline
the allowable uses and development regulations such as allowable
desnities, building heights, and setbacks for a property. Before
annexation, zoning districts are designated for the area, which
will become effective upon annexation.

of Zoning Ordinance for Residential Designations.

If a building or use was
legally built or operated in the County before annexation but does
not meet the new zoning regulations, it is generally 'grandfathered'
under the old rules and considered 'legal nonconforming'. Any subsequent
changes to the use or structure in this situation are regulated
under the Chapter of the Zoning Ordinance for Nonconforming Uses.
