  • Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Land Acknowledgment for the City of San Jose and Surrounding Region Thámien Ancestral Muwekma Ohlone Territory
    Mákkin Mak Muwékma Wolwóolum, ’Akkoyt Mak-Warep, Manne Mak Hiswi! We Are Muwekma Ohlone, Welcome To Our Ancestral Homeland! Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Land Acknowledgment For The City of San Jose and Surrounding Region Thámien Ancestral Muwekma Ohlone Territory We would like to recognize that while we gather at the Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley located in the City of San Jose, we are gathered on the ethno-historic tribal territory of the Thámien Ohlone- speaking tribal groups, which included the lands of the Paleños - whose tribal region was named after their powerful chief Capitan Pala, and the two Mexican land grants located in the East Hills above San Jose - and who were intermarried with the direct ancestors of some of the lineages enrolled in the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, whom were missionized into Missions Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco. The present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, with an enrolled Bureau of Indian Affairs documented membership of over 600 members, is comprised of all of the known surviving Indian lineages aboriginal to the San Francisco Bay region who trace the Tribe’s ancestry through the Missions Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco, during the advent of the Hispano-European empire into Alta California beginning in AD 1769. The Muwekma families are the successors and living members of the sovereign, historic, previously Federally Recognized Verona Band of Alameda County, now formally recognized as the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of San Francisco Bay Area. Muwekma means La Gente – The People in our traditional Chochenyo-Ohlone language.

  • Alameda County
    County Summaries Alameda County Overview Located at the heart of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, Alameda County is the second-largest county in the Bay Area, with a population of over 1.66 million. The extensive transportation network of roads, rails, buses, trails and pathways carries roughly 1.2 million commute trips daily to, from, within and through the county, supporting economic growth in the Bay Area, California and the rest of the nation. The county’s transportation system is multimodal, with non-auto trips growing more quickly than auto trips: between 2010 and 2018, for every new solo driver, four people began using transit, walking, biking, or telecommuting. Roads and Highways Alameda County roadways move people and goods within the county and beyond and support multiple transportation modes. As regional economic and population growth increase demand for goods and services, a variety of modes, including cars, transit, bikes and trucks, are competing to access the same facilities. The majority of Alameda County’s 3,978 road miles are highways, arterials and major local roads that provide access to housing, jobs, education and transit. Forty percent of daily trips in Alameda County are carried on arterials and major roads. Currently, five of the Bay Area’s top 10 most-congested freeway segments are in Alameda County, and average freeway delays are growing. The congestion in Alameda County is compounded by the large amount of vehicle, rail and Travelers have made over 14.5 million trips on the I-580 freight travel through Alameda Express Lanes since opening in February 2016.

  • 3 Consistency with Adopted Plans
    3 CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS In conformance with Section 15125(d) of the CEQA Guidelines, the following section discusses the consistency of the proposed project with relevant adopted plans and policies. 3.1 AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION – CURRENT AND DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANS The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) develops comprehensive land use plans to provide for the orderly growth of the area surrounding each airport within the County. Although the ALUC has no jurisdiction over existing land uses, its role is to ensure that new land uses or other proposed actions are compatible with the Airport environment. The Santa Clara County ALUC has adopted a Land Use Plan for those areas in the vicinity of Norman Y. Mineta San José International, Reid-Hillview, Palo Alto, and South County airports. The current Land Use Plan was adopted in September 1992 and most recently amended in November 2008.2 The goal of the adopted Land Use Plan is to ensure that new land uses near the airports are such that the public’s exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards are minimized. The adopted Land Use Plan includes policies that set forth maximum noise exposure levels. It also includes safety zones that limit the type and density of development and building heights near airports. The City’s eastern border is adjacent to the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport. Portions of Santa Clara, including several of the Focus Areas, as further described in Section 4.1 Land Use, 4.13 Hazards, and 4.14 Noise, fall within the noise restriction area and height restriction area, as defined in the adopted Land Use Plan.
