about the Envision San Jose 2040 Task Force

The Envision San José 2040 Task Force was created in 2007 to assist staff with the update of the City’s General Plan. This update process ended in 2011 and resulted in the Envision San José 2040 General Plan. 

The Task Force convenes every four years to evaluate the City’s achievement of planned job goals, implementation of the Urban Village concept, environmental indicators, and affordable housing needs in the past four years. At the end of the review process, the Task Force makes recommendations, first heard by the Planning Commission and then the City Council, on mid-course adjustments to the Plan. 

The Envision San José 2040 Task Force reconvenes prior members and organizations (as possible), representing a diversity of thought and perspective. Listing of Task Force members are shown in each respective cycle shown below.
