Planning & Zoning Commission

Commission to vote on code amendments for accessory structures and equipment setbacks

The Planning & Zoning Commission will adopt routine consent‑calendar items, including approval of the December 11, 2024 meeting minutes and three design‑review applications: a second‑story addition at 1446 Portland Avenue, a demolition and new two‑story home at 1126 Brighton Avenue, and a deck variance at 833 Polk Street. The commission will also hold public hearings and recommend adoption of two resolutions that would amend the Planning and Zoning Code—one updating standards for accessory structures and another revising setbacks for mechanical equipment. All items are recommended by staff and are categorically exempt from CEQA.
