Summary
The zoning package speeds up 100% affordable housing approvals, extends entitlements to five years, shrinks setbacks and open-space minimums, and drops parking mandates for affordable, senior and group housing. Supporters call it essential to meet the city's 4,588-unit (goal 7,000) state target; skeptics worry about lost public input, less open space and street parking pressure.
