Meeting Purpose:  To describe the proposed project, the environmental review process, and the planning process, and to obtain community input on the project, including issues to be discussed in the Supplement Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) to the Downtown Strategy 2040 EIR. Public input on the scope of the SEIR is encouraged so that the review addresses all relevant environmental issues. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the SEIR will be available for review online beginning on July 27, 2021 in the EIR Library of the City of San Jose’s Planning Division web site:  www.sanjoseca.gov/ActiveEIRs.  Comments, concerns, and questions raised at this meeting will become part of the public record and will help inform the project’s design as it moves forward in the review process. There are continued opportunities throughout the permit process to publicly comment on the project as illustrated in the permit process chart below.
