Union City Objective Design Standards

Union City, CA

The Project.  An effort to create objective development standards in order to achieve high-quality multi-family and residential mixed-use development projects consistent with recent State legislation that require that the City review new multi-family developments and residential mixed-use developments solely against objective standards rather than through subjective standards open to interpretation.

The Result. Objective design and development standards for zoning districts that allow multi-family and/or mixed-use residential development as a permitted or conditional use to ensure high-quality design, provide property owners and developers with greater clarity and predictability, streamline the development review process, and comply with recent state housing laws.
