San Jose's Planning Commission reviewed staff's Envision 2040 framework, which would let Residential Neighborhood (RN) parcels — most of Almaden's single-family blocks — build to 4x current density. City Council votes August 18. Staff's own numbers also show a jobs-housing conflict the equity argument doesn't fully resolve.
