San José is planning to bring more data centers online — with almost no public process.
A historic buildout that could significantly impact air quality, water resources, noise levels, and heat is currently underway — yet residents have had almost no say. The City already met with over 50 developers and currently has 34 projects in its data center pipeline.[1]

Submit a comment for the General Plan 4-Year Review
The Envision San José 2040 General Plan is the City's long-term roadmap for growth — guiding what gets built where, including homes, parks, and businesses. It has never explicitly addressed large-scale data center development. This is your chance to push the Planning Commission to prioritize climate and public health in the City's 2040 roadmap.

Step 1
Sign the petition
San José City Council must exercise proper due diligence by holding a public study session on the cumulative public health impacts of bringing this many data centers online, including impacts on air quality, water, noise, and heat. The public has a right to transparency, accountability, and a meaningful opportunity to understand how development at this scale could affect community health, neighborhood conditions, and long-term quality of life.
