Staff updated the commission on upcoming code amendments tied to the housing element (including ADU/secondary‑dwelling language and story‑setback changes), progress at Pacific Flyway and Stephon Estates, and technical complications on park stadium lighting requiring an expensive structural solution.

The full story

City planning staff told the commission to expect roughly 20 code amendments in coming months related to the housing element, including updates to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) language and removal or revision of story‑setback language. The staff member said much of the work is driven by legislative mandates and state standards and that the department is preparing packages to present to the commission.
