Citywide Planning Code amendments to adjust regulations for Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Activities and Facilities
Proposal: Citywide Planning Code amendments to (1) adjust regulations for Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Activities and Facilities for purposes of providing greater opportunities for ground floor activities and ease the permitting burden for commercial, civic, and low impact industrial activities; and (2) related miscellaneous and administrative changes consistent with recently adopted Broadway Valdez, Downtown Oakland, and 2025 Omnibus Planning Code amendments.
