| * This table is based on current land use categories for tax purposes (SJC Assessor's data). It does not reflect potential buildout. Density designations are not established at time of this draft and the average size of parcels is not reflected in these calculations. Parcels with conservation easements can be divided and developed in some cases. Note that parcels with conservation easements can also be residential, timberland, or agriculture, so percentages should not be seen as total land coverage. |
