UPDATE: Demolition Ordinance Before Planning Commission
At the public hearing on April 3, Berkeley’s Planning Commission reviewed a new draft of the ordinance that is far less threatening to tenants.
After an extremely brief discussion they decided that if Rent Board staff and planning staff can agree on language, the ordinance can be forwarded to City Council.
If there is disagreement, the Planning Commission will review on May 1.
Three BTU members came to the meeting and many more sent in comments by email.
