Planning commission forwards Title 22 (form‑based code) edits to Board; adds stacked‑flats type

Jul 27, 2026

Commissioners heard proposed Title 22 edits tied to the Title 24 street standards and voted to recommend the Board adopt the changes. Major edits include moving public frontage standards to Title 24, clarifying definitions (alley, driveway, site condition), and adding a stacked‑flats multifamily building type.

The full story

The Planning Commission reviewed proposed edits to the form‑based code (Title 22) that arose from the Title 24 street standards work. Staff explained the form‑based code applies to projects with five or more dwelling units, housing opportunity sites, and applicants using ministerial pathways under state housing laws like SB 35 and AB 2011.
