This ordinance amends the Planning Code to mandate minimum residential density requirements within Residential-Mixed (RM), Residential-Commercial (RC), and Residential Transit Oriented (RTO) Districts. The regulation excludes the RTO-Mission (RTO-M) Districts, aiming to enhance housing stock efficiency and adhere to regional housing needs. Additionally, it reaffirms alignment with the General Plan and incorporates public necessity and welfare considerations.
This decision addresses housing scarcity in high-demand urban areas and ensures efficient land use through mandated minimum density. It strengthens the city's commitment to sustainable urban development and housing availability.
