Bill 714 — UC-E Zoning Code amendment (2026-0714)
Description
A zoning text amendment that would allow multi-suite residential projects to fill 50–100% of gross floor area on UC-E parcels within 100 feet of the EMI district, with monthly-or-longer rentals. The Planning Commission recommended approval in September; the council public hearing was held with no vote.
Impact summary
Could open more of Oakland's innovation-district land to housing near universities and hospitals, potentially shifting the mix away from commercial development.
