The Council also took $10 million in Measure R money for intelligent traffic systems on Fair Oaks Avenue, adopted the amended fee schedule (film, fire and Community Services rental and program fees), and received the 2026 scorecard update.

Staff will report back about six months after adoption with complaint and noise-measurement data.

A companion ordinance (No. 2423) would apply the standards to residential projects that get ministerial design review elsewhere in the city until Phase 2 standards are ready. Staff says the standards don’t change allowed uses, density or height. The second item would grow the city’s temporary SB 79 exclusion for historic sites from the seven local landmarks deferred in July to 84 sites, using the categories added by AB 2576. The 77 new exclusions would take effect no earlier than Jan 1, 2027. Together with the 111 high-density sites already deferred under Ordinance No. 2419, that would put 195 sites near the A Line station outside SB 79’s default standards.
