To receive updates on the Zoning Code Update, please sign up for our mailing list.
Below is a list of relevant resources and documents that provide the background information of the Zoning Code Update process. Additional materials will be added as the project progresses.
The white papers provide context and guidance on the key issues and topics that will be addressed through the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update. Together, they outline the issue areas that shape the update and explain their significance. Topics include single-family residential regulations, setbacks and buffers, uses in commercial districts, building height, open space, and public noticing. Each white paper includes an overview of the key issue, a review of existing zoning regulations, relevant General Plan goals and policies, recent state legislation, best practices and considerations, and questions to solicit public input. The white papers serve as a high-level framework to inform the approach to the Zoning Code Update and to provide the public with background information that supports informed participation.
