City Council Meeting: July 29, 2025
Agenda Item: 16.C
1 of 1
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Nikima Newsome, City Clerk, Records and Election Services Department Subject: Request of Councilmember Zwick, Councilmember Raskin, and Mayor Pro Tem Torosis that the City Council direct the City Manager to return with options for revising development standards to effectively implement Housing Element Program 1.C. Despite prior best efforts, our City continues to see underutilized parking lots remain vacant on commercial corridors. Updates to development standards may be needed in order to incentivize housing projects along transit corridors and near a future “Great Park.” Specifically, additional incentives may include new zoning/ development standards for housing projects on surface parking lots associated with commercial corridors that match the zoning/ development standards of the commercial corridors they abut and removal of the requirement that new housing projects replace code-required parking at 50%
