The Neighborhood-University Relations Committee (NURC) was established in 1990 and created a forum for ongoing communication and problem-solving among City officials, neighborhoods, property owners, and Santa Clara University officials and students. 

The Planning Division's Code Enforcement Team provides proactive code enforcement in the area around Santa Clara University in partnership with the University and the Santa Clara Police Department. To find out more about these activities, please visit the University Area Enforcement website.
