KEEP PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR LARGE HOUSING PROJECTS IN SANTA CRUZ
NO OVERLAY DISTRICT!
The City Planning Department is asking the City Council for sole authority to approve permits for one hundred percent affordable housing developments over a wide area of the City and eliminate formal public hearings by creating a new Ministerial Approval Overlay District.
The proposed Overlay District:
- Is NOT required by State law
- Eliminates public hearings at Planning Commission and City Council
- Gives City Planning Department sole authority to approve these developments
- Eliminates current heritage tree protection for these developments
