The task force heard staff presentations on how San Jose could add more housing capacity, including possible site and designation changes in parts of the General Plan. Staff said some mixed-use commercial parcels may need redesignation because current housing and commercial rules do not match market conditions, while public/quasi-public sites should generally stay unchanged. Staff also recommended keeping the city’s 1.1:1 jobs-to-employed-residents target, saying it remains a goal to support commercial development and future job growth. Public speakers raised concerns about traffic, feasibility, and the redevelopment of school and faith-based sites.
