Arts & Events
The Berkeley Activist's Calendar, August 7-14
Worth Noting:
Relief – City Council is finally off for summer recess and most commissions do not meet in August.
Monday the BART Police Citizen Review Board meets, it is only listed because you may find the crime report interesting. The increase in crime is at the Alameda and Contra Costa County Stations not San Francisco or Santa Clara.
Thursday the Zoning Adjustment Board (ZAB) has two home addition projects on the consent calendar. There are no action items and no major projects for review at the August 11 meeting.
Saturday the Berkeley Neighborhoods Council is scheduled to meet at 10 am. Check later in the week for the agenda. (This is the meeting I will be watching.)
Things can change so it is a good idea to check the City website https://berkeleyca.gov/

Notice of Decision (NOD) and Use Permits with the End of the Appeal Period
Bad news on tracking approved projects in the appeal period. Samantha Updegrave, Zoning Officer, Principal Planner wrote the listing of projects in the appeal period can only be found by looking up each project individually through permits online by address or permit number https://berkeleyca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/Online-Building-Permits-Guide.pdf
The website with easy to find listing of projects in the appeal period was left on the “cutting room floor” another casualty of the conversion to the new City of Berkeley website.
Here is the old website link, Please ask for it to be restored.
WORKSESSIONS:
September 20 Residential Objective Standards for Middle Housing at 4 pm
