I think summer was made for me. I should have been a farmer, or a cowboy, or a river pilot, or a trapper. I need out-doors. But, best of all, I like to lie on my back on a summer’s day, under a great old shady tree. - Louis Sullivan, Kindergarten Chats and Other Writings, XXIV. Summer: The Storm

I think summer was made for me. I should have been a farmer, or a cowboy, or a river pilot, or a trapper. I need out-doors. But, best of all, I like to lie on my back on a summer’s day, under a great old shady tree.�- Louis Sullivan, Kindergarten Chats and Other Writings, XXIV. Summer: The Storm  

Dubai  Marina    

Dubai  Marina,  formerly  named  Westside  Marina,  has  been  referred  to  as  the  world's  largest  man-­‐made  marina  and  is  amongst  the  world's  largest  master  planned  waterfront  developments.  The  development  project  was  started  in  1998  and  will  cover  an  area  of  53  million  square  feet  (4.9  million  square  meters).  It  was  carved  along  a  3.34km  (2  mile)  stretch  of  Dubai's  shoreline  and  is  a  mixed-­‐use  canal-­‐city  inspired  in  the  VeneNan  tradiNon.  

Land Use PlanThe land use plan described in the RSSP and Rincon SouthPlanned Community reflects a vision of the Rincon Southarea as a high density residential and mixed use neighborhoodthat effectively supports transit use and encourages pedes-trian activity while maintaining and encouraging office andindustrial development in certain areas. The RSSP allows allexisting uses to remain indefinitely but places limitations onthe expansion and remodeling of these uses.

The RSSP provides for the development of approximately1,900 new multi-family units, a minimum of 20,000 square feetof new commercial space, new or expanded hotels, and someaddition to the nearly 4 million square feet of existing indus-trial/office space. In addition to the general land use and designpolicies that will guide these changes, the Plan addresses indetail how land use changes will be implemented in the foursub-areas:

Kerley Neighborhood Sub-area: This sub-area provides thegreatest opportunity within Rincon South to establish a viable,transit-oriented residential community and to achieve thePlan’s housing goals. The establishment of a new, residentialneighborhood in this sub-area will support and encourage theuse of the two light rail stations located within the RinconSouth boundaries. This sub-area also contains all of theapproximately thirteen acres of new parkland that will provideopen space and recreation opportunities for new residents.

Rosemary Gardens Sub-area: It is the intent of the RinconSouth Specific Plan to maintain Rosemary Gardens as a high-quality, single-family residential neighborhood. The SpecificPlan does not propose any changes to the single-familyneighborhood, although redevelopment of the adjacent multi-family residential properties along North First Street may besuitable in the future. The Plan also supports the potentialredevelopment of the commercial properties along the westside of North First Street.

Technology Park Sub-area: This sub-area contains themajority of Rincon South’s high technology office andindustrial development and is an important part of North SanJose – the key economic engine of the City. The Rincon SouthSpecific Plan supports the continued development andimprovement of office and industrial uses in this area consis-tent with the existing policies of the City.

Fourth Street Industrial Sub-area: This sub-area currentlyhouses a number of light industrial and R & D facilities. Theseare small-scale units often used by new start-up businesses orby manufacturers that support other industrial activities in thearea. Because these industrial uses play an important role inthe regional economy, the Specific Plan will preserve land forthese uses while minimizing their impact upon neighboringresidential and commercial development.

The Rincon South Specific Plan (RSSP) outlines a vision for thefull development, and redevelopment, of a key area of San Joselocated between Downtown and the City’s highly successfulNorth San Jose industrial area. A primary purpose of theRSSP is to create a viable and unique transit and pedestrianoriented, mixed-use community. Major elements of the Planare: introducing a high-density residential neighborhood alongportions of North First Street; maintaining the RosemaryGardens neighborhood as a high quality, single-family detachedresidential neighborhood; supporting existing and new hightechnology development in the northwestern portion ofRincon South; and maintaining industrial support uses in theeasternmost portion of Rincon South.

The 465-acre Rincon South area is located about one mile northof Downtown San Jose and just east of the San Jose Interna-tional Airport. The Rincon South Specific Plan boundaryincludes US Highway 101 to the northeast, Interstate 880 tothe southeast, and the Guadalupe Parkway (Route 87) to thewest. One of the key features of the area is the GuadalupeCorridor Light Rail Transit facility, which is located in theNorth First Street right-of-way. The RSSP was adopted byCity Council on November 12, 1998.

A 19-member Focus Group composed of property owners,businesspersons, local residents and agency representativesassisted City staff and the consulting firm of Skidmore,Owings, & Merrill, LLP (SOM) in the preparation of theSpecific Plan. The following goals for the Rincon SouthSpecific Plan and the Rincon South Planned Community wereidentified:

• Support transit use and create a pedestrian friendlyenvironment.

• Improve the visual character of the area.• Promote new and protect existing viable residential

development.• Add new parklands.• Promote retail development.• Promote and maintain existing light industrial develop-

ment.• Promote and maintain high-quality office development• Promote economic development.• Minimize traffic impacts and encourage transit use.

The  Rincon  South  Specific  Plan    

Rincon  South  

Circulation: The most significant modification to the RinconSouth street system proposed within the Specific Plan is theextension of Skyport Drive, the planned main entrance to theAirport, east from North First Street to connect to NorthFourth Street. Additional new streets are proposed in theKerley Neighborhood Sub-area to provide improved access tothe new residential development planned for that sub-area.

In order to support the planned pedestrianization of theRincon South area, a unique system of “Green Streetscapes” isproposed as an alternative to the standard public sidewalk,parkstrip and front setback. The green walkways are intendedto improve pedestrian linkages between new residentialdevelopment, transit facilities, and pedestrian shopping and toserve users of the existing office developments and hotels.Bicycle circulation improvements and improved transit accessto the Airport are also proposed.

ImplementationThe Rincon South Specific Plan is a long-term plan, expected toguide development in the Rincon South area for the next 15 -20 years. The RSSP is incorporated into the San Jose 2020General Plan as a Planned Community. The Rincon SouthPlanned Community includes the major features of the RSSPand describes the locations, intensity and pattern of land uses.

The RSSP differs from the RSPC in that it contains moredetailed land use, urban design and implementation policies.These more detailed provisions should be used when evaluat-ing development proposals in the RSPC. In addition, all newdevelopment must be consistent with the requirements of theSan Jose Residential, Commercial, and Industrial DesignGuidelines.

Copies of the Rincon South Specific Plan and supportingdocuments are available for purchase at the DevelopmentServices Center.
