Renovation of nonconforming 1947 house on Callander Avenue
A 1947 single-family house sits in a commercial corridor where new single-family homes aren't allowed. Because the repair work tops 50% of the land's value, it needed a conditional use permit — now granted, the old house can be brought up to modern safety standards.
Zellman Court three-lot subdivision
A vacant 14,704-square-foot lot near Oakdale Road will be split into three parcels, each getting a single-family home. It's infill housing in an established neighborhood, separate from the nearby tiny-homes project despite the same developer.
Paradise Village Supportive Housing
Sierra House's $361,000 subsidy continues, but PLHA funding ends in 2028 and the general fund will pick up the full cost; the $1.5 million state allocation is being directed to affordable housing instead.
