This basic document was prepared by Stanford after the SDS had been deemed adequate by the Santa Clara County Planning Commission. County staff reviewed the FAQ before it was put into final form, and the County has posted the FAQ on the County's website. The FAQ answers many questions about the background and the content of the SDS.
