Affordable rental housing at 4780 Chabot Drive
A proposed 100% affordable, up to 142-unit family rental project near BART would be the city's first directly supported affordable family housing development. Council supports the concept but must still decide on ~$8.4M in fee relief and a $10.3M inclusionary fee transfer, with the term sheet coming back later.
CalCities Resolution on Local Control of Housing
The council directed its voting delegate to back a League of California Cities resolution to form a working group on restoring local control over housing and land use, against state mandates.

Fire safety and homeowners' insurance in high fire hazard zones drew pointed questions.
