What this means
Residents will see the city move forward with a $325,000 food recovery hub tied to local food rescue efforts. The council also updated the city’s rules for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units so they align with state law, which can affect backyard homes and similar small housing units. On a separate development item, the council refused to change an approved mixed-use project’s plan, design agreement, or permit, so the project will stay with its existing approvals. The council also filed a required annual report on the city’s general plan and housing progress.
