El Camino Real Specific Plan

The City of Santa Clara is advancing the El Camino Real Specific Plan to redevelop a major corridor from automobile-centric strip malls into a vibrant, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly district with a balanced mix of residential and retail uses. Over the next 20 to 30 years, the plan anticipates the construction of 4,392 new housing units and a net reduction of approximately 289,000 square feet of commercial space, aligning with the General Plan’s vision for equitable, sustainable growth. The area encompasses diverse land use designations including Community Mixed-Use, High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Neighborhood Mixed-Use, and Public/Quasi Public, with corresponding zoning districts that will be restructured to support the new vision. The planning effort is led by the City’s Planning Division, with primary contact Rebecca Bustos, Senior Planner, and project manager Fiona Phung providing technical support. While the plan involves significant urban transformation, the available documentation reflects regulatory and environmental compliance frameworks rather than procurement details; no formal contract number, solicitation data, pricing, contract type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present. The referenced environmental standards—such as hazardous waste handling under 22 CCR and universal waste labeling requirements—apply to facility operations within the area but do not constitute contract terms. Inspection and compliance responsibilities fall to government agencies including the Santa Clara City Fire Department and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, with contractors maintaining adherence to state and federal hazardous waste regulations at designated TSD facilities. There is no indication of federal funding mechanisms, contracting vehicles, payment systems, or evaluation criteria for award, and all financial, delivery, and performance data cited relates to environmental remediation timelines rather than procurement obligations. The plan represents a long-term land use and urban design initiative with no formal contract structure documented in the provided materials.
