Lanikai Senior Residential Development Appeal

The 115-unit senior housing project at Mission and Woodward is stuck because the city says its environmental traffic analysis (from 2019, pre-COVID) is outdated and incomplete. The developer says its traffic impact is ten times below the city's significance threshold; the council sided with staff, 3-0.

North City master sign program appeal

A neighbor appealed the master sign program governing all signage in North City, citing light trespass, sign height, and an ongoing property dispute with the developer. The council found no merit in the appeal and let the sign program stand; individual sign locations still need separate permits.
