San José Municipal Code § 20.55.030
in effectA. The San José Citywide Design Standards and Guidelines provide detailed design regulations regarding placement, scale, shape, form, and intensity of design arrangement of buildings and open spaces and their relationship to the neighborhoods and the city. Those standards and guidelines shall be used together with the Urban Village and Mixed Use Zoning District development standards to inform future development; where the documents contain standards, which cover the same topic, one document does not supersede the other; development shall meet both standards.
