Commission initiates Western SoMa plan amendments, calendars hearing for December
Summary
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to initiate amendments to the general plan, planning code and zoning map for the Western SoMa Community Plan and calendar a public hearing for Dec. 6; staff said several policy details (metering affordable housing/jobs) will be addressed as trailing legislation.
The Planning Commission voted to initiate amendments associated with the Western SoMa Community Plan and to calendar a public hearing on or after Dec. 6 to consider proposed zoning and planning-code changes.
Corey Teague (staff) summarized the initiation packet and draft ordinances prepared by the department and noted additional informational materials will be presented at the Dec. 6 meeting on zoning scenarios, nighttime-entertainment corridor alternatives and design issues. Commissioners discussed the inclusion of a community-stabilization policy in the plan text that would call for a separate balancing policy to address affordable housing and job growth; staff said that policy would be developed and considered through trailing legislation rather than as part of the initiation packet.
A motion to adopt the three resolutions of intention to initiate amendments to the general plan, planning code and zoning maps passed unanimously (6-0).
