SB 79 Implementation - Option C1 Adopted
Council adopted Option C1 for implementing Senate Bill 79, expanding the Corridor Transition Program to allow 3-4 story multi-family housing in single-family neighborhoods within half mile of 55 transit stations. Option C2 (Soto-Martinez motion) failed 5-9. The adopted approach delays full SB 79 implementation in lower resource areas, fire zones, and historic districts until 2030 while requiring local alternative plans by 2028.
- Planning directed to recommend corridor transition program modifications to generate actual units; CAO to identify up to $650,000 for property owner/tenant notification mailings; report back on citywide local alternative plan development.
