Miller Planning Associates Proposal City of San Leandro Objective Development Standards City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan & Housing Implementation Ordinance Jean Eisberg of Lexington Planning led a Zoning Ordinance update to remove constraints to multi -family housing production through a local density bonus program (an alternative to Senate Bill [SB] 35), increased FARs, reduced parking requirements, by -right standards, and streamlined review by removing two decision-making bodies from the review process. The project included analysis of the City of Palo Alto's ordinance, a parking occupancy study, interviews with developers and architects who regularly use the City's code, and a series of study sessions and hearings with the City's decision -makers. The ordinance went into effect in May 2019. As of October 2019, Jean is now working with the City of Palo Alto on an SB2-funded project to prepare objective standards.
