How will we complete Neighborhoods Where We All Belong?

The primary objective of Neighborhoods Where We All Belong is to implement many of the required programs of the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, which fall into two categories:

  • Rezone Housing Element sites to increase residential development opportunities

  • Identify other commercial and industrial properties where property owners can have the option to develop housing

  • The City identifies housing sites and establishes regulations, but cannot force a property owner to develop their land

  • Update the zoning code to comply with new state housing laws

  • Streamline permitting for new housing development

  • Prepare new objective design standards for multifamily and mixed-use development

  • Prepare other regulations for well-designed residential and mixed-use buildings and places
