Diridon Station Area Plan (EIR)

File Number PP09-163

Proposal to adopt the Diridon Station Area Plan (DSAP), which establishes a vision for future development of the Diridon Station and surrounding areas in response to the planned extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) to San Jose and the construction of the California High Speed Rail project (HSR). The Plan includes the following elements:

A conceptual plan for the expansion of the existing Diridon Station and transit center to accommodate BART and HSR;

Amendments to the Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan Transportation and Land Use Diagram;

Transportation Improvement Strategies;

The establishment of Design Guidelines to encourage transit and pedestrian-oriented development within an approximately half-mile radius of the Diridon Station.

The Plan also establishes an increase in development capacity within the plan area, encompassing up to 4,963,400 square feet of office/research & development/light industrial uses, 424,100 square feet of retail and restaurant uses, 2,588 residential units, and 900 hotel rooms.

Location

Council District 6. Approximately 250 acres in the area roughly bordered by the Guadalupe River and Delmas Avenue to the east, Interstate 280 to the south, Sunol Avenue and the Caltrain railroad right-of-way to the west, and Lenzen Avenue and the Union Pacific railroad right-of-way to the north.
