The Department of Innovation and Performance and the Department of City Planning use a database that contains parcel-level data and modeling for environmental peril. Among other things, city planning has used the information to update its landslide map from the 1980s. The departments requested to pay the 2027 license fee early using leftover 2026 funds.

Council addressed the housing shortage in Central Oakland by amending the neighborhood’s zoning code. Space that had been previously set aside for laboratories and research can now be used for new housing developments. The neighborhood has an inclusionary zoning overlay that requires affordable units to be set aside in market-rate developments of 20 units or more.
City Council
The Urban Redevelopment Authority presented its plan for phase three of the East Liberty Transit Revitalization Investment District (TRID). It includes $183 million in mixed-use development and $24 million in infrastructure improvements. After the 20-year diversion ends, the area is projected to bring in over $2 million per year in taxes, split between the city, the county and the school district.
