Worth Noting:

We are looking at a short week with the President’s Day Holiday on Monday, February 15 and city meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.



Key meetings this week are:

Tuesday at 11 am Margo Schueler will give a presentation on infrastructure at Civic Center Park (what lurks underground). At 6 pm is the presentation to Council on the Marina Area Specific Plan and proposed Pier and Ferry.

Thursday at 10:30 am is the Land Use and Housing Council Committee with several impactful housing proposals especially Quadplex zoning which appears to turn over approval of duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to a desk sign-off away from ZAB (Zoning Adjustment Board) review except in certain circumstances. At 7 pm there will be a presentation on the creation/progress of a Berkeley Department of Transportation (BerkDOT) at the Transportation Commission.

The City Council February 23 Regular meeting agenda is available for comment and follows the list of city meetings. A public comment letter to Council on agenda item 29 Resolution to End Exclusionary Housing is in this issue.

If you have a meeting you would like included in the summary of meetings, please send a notice to kellyhammargren@gmail.com by noon on the Friday of the preceding week. If you wish to see comments from attending the City meetings of the previous week, go to the Activist’s Diary in this issue. -more-
