The City of Piedmont is seeking your ideas:

Planning & Building staff members seek your ideas in a survey about possible new permitted commercial uses. Piedmont's 6th Cycle Housing Element (HE) provides the strategies that the City uses to increase housing production for the 2023-2031 planning period. HE program 4.M directs the City to streamline review to facilitate residential mixed-use projects by right subject to objective standards. Currently, all commercial uses in Piedmont require discretionary review by both the Planning Commission and City Council before they can open for business.

The Permitted Commercial Uses survey seeks your perspectives on the types of businesses that should be allowed by right without discretionary review in the commercial mixed-use districts along Grand and Highland Avenues. Would by-right, permitted uses, like a fitness center, coffee shop, clothing store, etc., benefit the Piedmont community?

Take the survey between now and July 19, 2024 to share your ideas and enter a drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Mulberry's Market!
