Planning staff: SB 330 vesting, RBD update and next steps for 4 Corners applications
Summary
Staff told commissioners the projects were filed under SB 330 and reviewed using the 2013 RBD specific plan standards; staff said both projects must file formal applications and tentative maps and that the item will go before City Council on April 1.
Planning staff provided regulatory and procedural context for the two preliminary applications at 1675 Bay Road. Staff (Sal) announced a training workshop for commissioners and summarized how the development code update was approved by City Council and will take effect 31 days after its March 18 adoption. Staff and consultant Chris Darkomos explained that because the mixed‑use and townhome applications were submitted before the RBD update took effect and were complete on the dates given, they are reviewed under the earlier 2013 RBD standards, consistent with SB 330 vesting rules.
Amy Chen, Director of Community and Economic Development, clarified that while the specific plan update extended capacity in the RBD area and commercial submissions may now be filed under the expanded square footage, applicants are not precluded from proposing commercial projects under the updated plan. Staff reminded commissioners that the presentations were informational; the projects will require formal applications, tentative maps and additional outreach. The applicant was told to expect City Council consideration on April 1.
