Oakland UC-E Zoning Code Amendment

Bill 714 would let housing fill 50–100% of buildings on UC-E parcels within 100 feet of Oakland's hospitals and universities, as long as rooms are rented monthly or longer. Supporters see needed housing near campus; critics say it erodes space reserved for jobs and commercial development in the Forbes–Fifth corridor.
