Motion seeks faster city approval for new condominium and ADU condo projects

City Planning would have 30 days to draft an ordinance waiving subdivision map requirements for eligible for-sale projects.

City Council· posted Sep 16Motion

Builders of new condominiums and ADU condominium units could skip parcel, tentative, and final map requirements and face less duplicative review, which backers say would lower costs for for-sale housing. A Fifth District councilwoman asks City Planning, Building and Safety, and the Bureau of Engineering to draft the ordinance within 30 days.
