  • Capacity Shifts in the 4-Year-Review Process
    October 7, 2020 City of San Jose General Plan 4-Year Review Staff 200 E. Santa Clara St. San Jose, CA 95113 Re: Capacity shifts in the 4-Year-Review process Dear Planning Staff, With regard to the jobs capacity shifts to be discussed during the October 29 meeting of the General Plan Task Force, we strongly urge you to consider only areas in the developed footprint of the city and the urban core, and avoid urban-edge areas in the hills or undeveloped land north of highway 237, as sites for where projected jobs may be located. We support the relocation of all the projected jobs out of Coyote Valley. This is necessary in order to secure the tremendous environmental benefits and green infrastructure that Coyote Valley’s open space provides for a resilient future. But we must also be cautious in where these jobs are relocated, especially when considering the undeveloped lands north of 237 as a potential destination for these projected jobs. Sea Level Rise Hazards Make Development North of 237 Problematic The climate is changing. Substantial areas north of 237 sit well below sea level under current conditions; with 2018 sea level rise expectations of California’s Ocean Protection Council projecting 3 feet or more within 50 years, these areas will be even more at risk. Although a levee will be built between Coyote Creek and the Alviso Marina, this levee will not suffice to protect Alviso from flooding from the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek. These waterways, which are the two largest streams in the County, cannot be closed off from the Bay or its rising sea levels.

  • The F Street Trailhead Is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills
    View of the Franklin Hills and the canyon above F Street from above the track at Alhambra High School (Photo by Seth Adams, 5-2020) The F Street Trailhead is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills Were Saved F Street Trailhead, Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline By Seth Adams, Co-Chairman, Thousand Friends of Martinez Hike Start: top of F Street Distance: 0.8 miles roundtrip, or longer Time: 45 minutes roundtrip, or longer Moderate hike What are the Franklin Hills? How were they saved? Why go there? They are the scenic backdrop for Martinez and its western border from Highway 4 to the Carquinez Strait. They’re a constant—everyone in Martinez loves them, whether you grew up or moved here—and they’ve resisted change. At the simplest we love them because they’re our backyard, they mean Martinez, and most of us see them every day. In May 2020 Martinez residents are sheltering in place from the coronavirus pandemic, luckily with nearby access to wonderful open spaces. Martinez is surrounded by four regional parks. The recently renamed Radke-Martinez Regional Shoreline to the north and Briones Regional Park to the south are the most well-known. Waterbird Regional Preserve is east across Highway 680. Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline includes the Franklin Hills west of downtown. Most people who go there use the Nejedly staging area along Carquinez Scenic Drive, or the entrances further west where the George Miller Trail begins. Less well known is the F Street Trailhead at the south edge of Alhambra High School. This article is in two major parts.

  • The Critical Role of Greenbelts in Wildfire Resilience Executive Summary
    JUNE 2021 THE CRITICAL ROLE OF GREENBELTS IN WILDFIRE RESILIENCE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bay Area is at a tipping point in its relationship to wildfire. Decision makers, planners, and advocates must work together on urgent solutions that will keep communities safe from wildfires while also addressing the acute housing crisis. There is huge potential for the Bay Area, and other places across the Western US, to accelerate greenbelts as critical land-use tools to bolster wildfire resilience. Through original research and an assessment of case studies, Greenbelt Alliance has identified four types of greenbelts that play a role in reducing the loss of lives and homes in extreme wildfire events while increasing overall resilience in communities and across landscapes, including: 1 Open space, parks, and preserves 2 Agricultural and working lands such as vineyards, orchards, and farms 3 Greenbelt zones strategically planned and placed inside subdivisions and communities 4 Recreational greenways such as bike paths, playing fields, and golf courses Cover image: Kincade Fire Greenbelt Burn Area at Edge of Windsor, CA by Thomas Rennie. Images this page: (Clockwise from top left) Escaflowne, Bjorn Bakstad, Erin Donalson, f00sion, Bill Oxford GREENBELTS IN WILDFIRE RESILIENCE 3 The role these types of greenbelts play in loss POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS prevention and resilience include: Local, regional, and state policymakers, planners and • Serving as strategic locations for wildfire defense their consultants, and the advocates and nonprofits • Acting as natural wildfire buffers to create separation working on solutions should put this research into from wildlands action and deliver on the following recommendations: • Increasing overall wildfire resilience through land stewardship Recommendation 1 • Conserving biodiversity on fire-adapted lands while Prioritize increasing greenbelts as strategic locations reducing risk for wildfire defense through policy and planning.
