2026-10-28 - Planning Commission

Presented by Aaron Barlow. Straw polls: no support for 12-day-only notice for minor PDs; no consensus on minor PDs in all mixed-use districts (more support for MU-2 and MU-3); general support for the 10,000 sq ft threshold; no support for a hard 4 percent affordable minimum at 30 percent AMI. Commissioners also raised mandatory versus discretionary tenant protections and an owner-occupant exception.
