The committee advanced a bill that would temporarily change how some housing projects are reviewed before construction. For projects that meet Mandatory Housing Affordability rules using on-site performance units, the bill would remove Design Review for six months; for other housing under Full Design Review, it would give applicants an administrative review option. The committee voted 4-0 to recommend passage, so the measure moved on to the full City Council.
