Development Code Amendment P-DCA2026-0001 — Phase 2 Objective Design Standards
Description
A city-initiated Phase 2 update to the Objective Design Standards governing multifamily housing of 10 or more units, refining open space, frontage, massing, and architectural style standards after developer outreach.
Impact summary
Sets the look and feel of future apartment and mixed-use projects — including cutting required open space per unit from 300 to 150 square feet — since state law limits the city's review of housing to objective standards.
