Flash: April 29th Berkeley Upzoning Vote "Postponed"
This just in from the City: the April 29th vote has been postponed. Details from the City's email below. We'll keep you posted, but don't hesitate to let them know how you feel about the proposed changes and their lack of transparency!
From the City:
The City Council public hearing on zoning amendments to encourage middle housing, scheduled for next Tuesday, April 29, is CANCELLED.
The reason for the cancellation is a public noticing error pertaining to one provision of the Middle Housing zoning changes: the amendment of the zoning map to rezone the R-1A zoning district to R-2. We sincerely apologize for this error.
Planning staff will remedy the error by meeting the noticing requirements of BMC Section 23.404.040 and conducting a public hearing at the Planning Commission on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 on the rezoning of R-1A to R-2.
Once the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on the zoning map amendment, the City Council can reschedule the public hearing on the middle housing zoning amendments.
Again, we apologize for this noticing error.
