02Deal summary
The rationale
A citywide zoning overhaul implementing GP 2035 land-use categories and Housing Element mandates will directly reset permissible uses, densities, and by-right housing opportunities across Novato — any developer with active or planned projects here must audit how new zone designations affect entitlement strategy.
Novato Planning Commission is considering comprehensive amendments to the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter XIX of the Municipal Code) to align with General Plan 2035 land-use categories, implement four 6th Cycle Housing Element programs (2.A, 3.D, 3.E, 3.I), and reorganize/clarify existing zoning code sections, with a finding of no further CEQA review required.
