Economic Development: Upcoming Community Meetings and Presentations
Land used for industry is key to the economic vitality of the City. Industrial land provides local job opportunities and taxes to support City services. Today, there are only 120 acres of undeveloped industrial land in Morgan Hill. Over the past eight years, industrial lands inventory has declined by 59 percent. Preserving existing industrial parks and optimizing remaining industrial lands will support the City’s economic prosperity, offer job opportunities to the community, and preserve the quality of life in Morgan Hill.
City staff plans to bring forward Zoning Code amendments, an Industrial Ordinance and proposes a new Industrial Lands Preservation and Optimization Policy to:
- Discourage standalone warehouse and distribution use City-wide
- Prohibit General Plan conversions of industrial land
- Prohibit non-compatible uses in industrial buildings to preserve vacancies for industrial businesses and jobs
- Expand zoning for office and medical uses
- Encourage conversion of current commercial land to industrial land

Downtown Traffic Calming and Downtown Lane Reduction Project
On January 19, 2022, the City Council will review the design for the Downtown Traffic Calming and Downtown Lane Reduction Project.
We know this project has generated a great deal of interest from the community, especially regarding traffic impacts. Over the last seven months, City staff has led an extensive community engagement effort that included numerous community meetings, walking tours, and creating a 28-member, community-based working group. These efforts have helped design a project that slows down traffic through Downtown, improving safety for cars, bikes, and pedestrians, while at the same time supporting the need for traffic flow and parking. A robust Traffic Mitigation Plan with a detailed Implementation Schedule has been developed to ensure traffic issues are addressed before implementing the lane reduction.
We are releasing the staff report 12 days prior to the January 19 Council meeting to provide ample community review. The recommendations in the staff report incorporate community feedback and design solutions presented by traffic engineering and landscape architecture consultants.
On behalf of the entire City team, we want to thank the community for your consistent engagement and valuable feedback throughout this process. A special thank you goes to the members of the Downtown Working Group for spending four months working alongside staff on this project.
