3 issues in zoning with medium priority
Possible Renaming and Expansion to Mobility Advisory Committee
The City Council wants input on renaming and expanding the committee to cover transit, parking, and general mobility. Members leaned toward studying the idea; some residents objected, saying a new mandate deserves a new public process.
Annual Zoning Code Cleanup Amendment
The city proposed its yearly housekeeping update to the zoning code, fixing clarifications, corrections, and updates across various sections. It was set for a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The stakes are mostly technical, but zoning text changes can affect how future projects are reviewed.
Childcare facility permitting under AB 752
State law now requires daycare centers co-located with multifamily housing to be allowed by right with no permit or fee. The amendment also lets smaller childcare centers (up to 1,500 sq ft) get an administrative use permit instead of a harder-to-get conditional use permit — making it easier to open childcare.
