Land Use Committee moves several measures to full Board; housing, neighborhood projects, and landmarking advance
Summary
The Land Use & Transportation Committee voted to send multiple items to the full Board of Supervisors on Dec. 4, 2023 — including recommendations for restaurant/retail planning-code amendments, the "Love Our Neighborhoods" public-works ordinance, a landmark-initiating resolution for the Greg Angelo Museum, and amendments to housing streamlining legislation; several files were continued for further work.
The Land Use & Transportation Committee on Dec. 4, 2023, advanced several items to the full Board of Supervisors and took final action on a number of other agenda items.
The committee voted to send item 1 (file 230701), a planning-code amendment changing allowable commercial restaurant and retail uses, to the full Board with a positive recommendation. Item 2, a duplicate file with proposed amendments not yet ready for adoption, was continued to the call of the chair.
Separately, the committee voted to recommend the Public Works code changes known as the "Love Our Neighborhoods" legislation be sent to the Board as a committee report with a positive recommendation. That ordinance aims to streamline approvals and reduce fees for certain neighborhood amenities and minor encroachment permits while preserving ADA standards and permitting safeguards.
The committee also voted to send a resolution initiating landmark designation procedures for Greg Angelo's Velocity Arts & Entertainment at 225 San Leandro Way to the Board as a committee report with a positive recommendation after lengthy public comment in support of landmark status.
On housing, the committee adopted several non-substantive and some substantive amendments to the mayor's constraints-reduction/streamlining ordinance, then stripped out remaining sections not amended at this hearing and sent the revised original as a committee report to the full Board without recommendation. The committee also duplicated the amended file for additional substantive amendments and continued that duplicated file for further consideration on Dec. 12, 2023.
Other formal actions included continuing a revocable-permission item (item 6) to the Dec. 12 meeting, approving a commemorative street-name resolution (Panos Place), and filing an informational hearing on storm-related tree damage. Voting records were recorded at the meeting as three ayes on each formal committee recommendation or continuation.
Next steps: several of the files advanced by the committee are scheduled for the full Board meeting (noted at the hearing as Dec. 5 or Dec. 12, 2023 depending on the item). The housing streamlining package will return in duplicated form with additional amendments and further review before final Board action.
