Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan

The City of Santa Clara is advancing the Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan to establish a comprehensive policy framework for transforming the transit-oriented area into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. The plan envisions significant development including up to 8,300 residential units, 2.1 million square feet of commercial office space, 1.7 million square feet of light industrial use, 105,060 square feet of institutional facilities, 134,920 square feet of retail space, and 19.5 acres of open space, all designed to support dense, walkable, and sustainable urban growth centered around public transit. This initiative aims to foster economic vitality, housing diversity, and environmental resilience while aligning with regional transportation goals. The plan is currently in the forecasting stage with a posted date of June 10, 2026, and is being managed by the City of Santa Clara in California, with the primary place of performance located in Santa Clara at 95050. Key points of contact include Rebecca Bustos, Senior Planner at the city, and Fiona Phung, Project Manager, who can be reached via phone and email for further information. The project is being tracked through the California Environmental Quality Act network under project ID 2026060462, indicating that environmental review and public engagement processes will play a critical role in shaping the final plan.
