How the Plant Master Plan process works
KICK-OFF
The project began in 2008 with a series of three exploratory workshops held with wastewater and land use planning experts. The outcome was a broad project concept that was introduced at a community workshop in May 2009.
PUBLIC VALUES SURVEY
Via the community workshop in May 2009, Plant tours, and the project website, project staff offered a land use values survey. Project planners have taken the input from almost 1,500 surveys and used it to inform the development of three land use alternatives.
LAND USE ALTERNATIVES
You gave input on three land use alternatives at a series of communty workshops in spring 2010. Project planners will also collect input from stakeholder and regulatory groups. All input will be compiled to develop a recommended final plan.
FINAL PLAN
Public input on the recommended final plan will be solicited in 2011. The city councils of San Jose and Santa Clara will then review the final plan, which will be subject to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Upon council approval, the final plan will direct capital improvements at the Plant over the next 15 years and guide decisions for the Plant's continued improvement through 2040. It will also outline the land use vision for the Plant's site.
