These recommendations will be made by the Task Force to the San Jose City Planning Commission and, in turn, to the San Jose City Council. It is important to emphasize that the City Council will have the final decision on the use of land and project funds. On September 25, 2006, the Task Force passed a motion to recommend that land be dedicated to the building of three elementary and middle grade schools (one K-6 school and two K-8 schools) to support the residential growth stemming from the 542 acre build-out (approximately 4,000 new homes.)
