City Council staff has set out the schedule for the Planning Land Use and Sustainability (PLUS) Committee for the coming weeks. The PLUS Committee will be considering legislation that potentially can have big impacts on building of new single-family homes and microhousing. These will be some of the most important land use decisions the Council will make in this decade and they will set the tone for what happens to housing in the future.

Please get involved by letting Councilmembers hear from you and your friends that support more housing choice for people who live here, work here, and people who are moving here today and in the future. We’ll let you know more about when and where to get involved.
