That's correct.

Including the use of uh waivers from development standards and and um concessions as well.

Correct.

Um that that's that's helpful for us to to understand.

So even if the council um

Decided to take no action, or we were to deny the staff recommendation.

Um housing

would still be allowed under state law pursuant to A to Assembly Bill twenty eleven and then Senate Bill six.

Um that was something that was for the benefit of the public uh new to the council.

I think all of us just in and seeing the responses to the questions today learned about that.

So that's something I think the the council may want to sort of talk through and understand.

Are there certain advantages to having um so we we we have a a commitment under the housing element program to conduct the rezonings?

Responses to other council questions disclose some amount of risk and not following through.

Um and I won't delve too deeply into that, but maybe an another way of looking at that could be are there certain advantages, even if we

already have to allow housing at these sites, are there certain advantages to having local development standards?

governing those loc those properties.

Um, so I think in in general, yes, there's a benefit to having local standards.

Um, it can communicate to a developer the types of development that the city wants to see as opposed to development that the state mandates to occur.

And some developers are sensitive to that and try their best to design projects to be locally acceptable and uh to integrate better into the community.
