City of Milpitas General Plan Amendment 2020-2024
This document outlines the City of Milpitas's Housing Opportunity Districts (HOD) project, which proposes a General Plan amendment and zoning changes for Neighborhood Commercial Mixed-Use (NCMU) and Town Center (TC) areas. The project's goals include increasing housing supply, meeting regional housing needs, incentivizing affordable housing, and revitalizing aging commercial centers. It establishes three distinct NCMU and TC zones with flexible residential densities and commercial Floor Area Ratio (FAR) requirements, coupled with reduced parking and open space mandates. The intended outcome is to transform these neighborhoods into vibrant mixed-use communities, fostering increased revenue, retail demand, and diverse housing options.
