Family zoning and upzoningI will conclude with my own thought process here is that this project really do comply with our new family zoning plan and our new design guideline, the design standards, and it does comply with the setback that is required, and I’ve seen it’s pretty clear, 20— actually, 27 feet.Lydia SoCommissioner · Planning Commission · Sep 17, 2026Open the meeting at 2:15:27
  • Family zoning and upzoningI mean, I think this is quite a fascinating project because I think when the family zoning plan came about, I think there was some question, I think, from housing advocates about whether I think there were some questions about whether the family zoning plan was so restrictive that developers would just choose to keep using the state density bonus.Mike ChenCommissioner · Planning Commission · Sep 3, 2026 3:28:19Open the meeting at 3:28:19
  • Family zoning and upzoningI am appreciating staff’s recommended modifications. I think my concern with every amendment we’ve seen come out since September 11th when we voted on the family zoning plan is that they present potential roadblocks and deterrents to achieving the goals of the family zoning plan.Amy CampbellCommissioner · Planning Commission · Nov 20, 2025 1:52:13Open the meeting at 1:52:13
