APN# 477-21-075 + 2nd parcel · GP Amendment + Rezoning · San Jose

⚠️ Read first — material risk

City planner Alexandre Hughes (Planner III) has already signaled the rezoning faces real skepticism:

"Rezoning the property is not likely to be approved" — and he saw no code violations on APN 477-21-075 itself.

The violation is on the OTHER parcel. This process runs over a year, includes public hearings + a CEQA environmental analysis, and approval is not guaranteed. Go in eyes-open: 6/24 is just an intake completeness check, not a green light.

🧭 Bottom Line

This is a TWO-property General Plan Amendment + Rezoning, filed to correct a code-enforcement violation on the second parcel. Andrew is building the City's application package; the 6/24 Zoom intake is the City checking the packet is complete — not approving anything.

SBST provides legal description + plat map for BOTH properties; owner signs; City reviews over >1 year.

💬What Each Part Means›
💻6/24 appointment — virtual only (Zoom). Andrew is NOT on-site (Tony asked). City sends the Zoom link 1–2 days before.
🔎Intake meeting — a Planning Technician checks the packet for completeness. Not an approval.
🗺️General Plan Amendment — changes the General Plan land-use designation.
🏗️Rezoning — changes the actual legal zoning. This is the part facing City skepticism.
🌳CEQA analysis — environmental study from the City's approved consultant list. Long & expensive — the main reason the GPA takes >1 year.
✍️Owner signature — required on the applications before the packet is complete.
💵Invoice & fees — City sends an invoice after; review begins once paid.
🔀Filing Options (Andrew's 3)›
1 · Keep the 6/24 appointment Live path
File at the 6/24 Zoom intake. Officially tracks toward a 2028 hearing — but 2027 is still "quite possible." This is the realistic route now.
2 · File GP Amendment early on 5/29 Passed
Early filing slot — that date has passed.
3 · File GPA + Rezoning together on 5/29 Passed
Also passed; would have required the CEQA consultant named on the Rezoning form up front.

June 1 was the soft "deadline" for GP Amendments to make the 2027 cycle — Andrew says it's not hard. Both early dates are gone, so the 6/24 intake is the move.
