View the meeting agenda. What is the Corridors Zoning Update? The Corridors Zoning Update is an implementation action of Berkeley’s Housing Element to expand housing opportunities in three high-resource commercial and transit corridors—Solano Avenue, North Shattuck, and College Avenue. The project seeks to further fair housing by addressing historic patterns of exclusionary zoning and promoting equitable distribution of housing growth, while supporting small, locally owned businesses. The zoning update would revise existing development standards to allow additional height and density, consider updates to permitted uses, and establish objective development standards consistent with state housing law. It would not redesign streets, sidewalks, or the public right-of-way.
