Pools and floor-area-ratio (FAR) — staff explanation and direction

PresentationDiscussion

4:42 → 10:41(5m 59s)

Chair (speaker 2) asked whether pool area can be excluded from floor-area-ratio calculations. Rodrigo (planning staff, speaker 4) said the county zoning ordinance currently defines swimming pools as a building and that changing that would require a zoning ordinance amendment: Planning Commission → TMP → full Board. The building code/state definitions leave room for local interpretation. Supervisors directed staff to pursue a zoning-ordinance amendment and aim to route it through advisory committees and commissions within about 3–6 months.

Alameda County Transportation and Planning Committee held informational discussions on whether pools count toward floor-area-ratio, technical adjustments between Large Parcel Agriculture (LPA) and Resource Management (RM) under Measure D/ECAP, a proposed sliding-scale fee for soil importation and enforcement of illegal dumping, and the county process for vacating roads including a specific inquiry about Morrison Canyon Road.
