Meeting Purpose:  To describe the proposed project, the City’s review process, and to obtain community input on the current Zoning Code Update (Outdoor dining and other outdoor uses associated with an on-site business). 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 approval process to publicly comment on the project.

The below changes help ensure that the Zoning ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the Envision San José 2040 General Plan. No specific development proposals are part of this amendment to Title 20.

Project Description:

The proposed updates would amend Part 10.5 of Chapter 20.80 of Title 20 of the San José Municipal Code to modify requirements for outdoor dining and other outdoor activities associated with an on-site business, and for those located within one-hundred-fifty (150) feet of residentially zoned property. The outdoor dining references that are presently within Chapter 20.40, Chapter 20.50, Chapter 20.55, Chapter 20.75, and Chapter 20.100 in Title 20 of the San José Municipal Code will be addressed by regulations listed within revised Part 10.5 of Chapter 20.80, including hours of operation, separation criteria, permit processing and noise parameters. For any proposals that are unable to meet the conditions of the Administrative Permit shall apply for a Special Use Permit.

Please refer to updates related to the proposed amendment on this Planning webpage.
