SUMMARY:Reforming Zoning to Redefine Our Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:Single-use zoning is the most widespread form of zoning found across the United States. While it might prevent a tannery from opening next door to your home\, the odds are good that it also prevents a duplex from doing the same thing. The simple fact is that zoning\, at least in its most recognizable form\, is an antiquated tool that does more harm than good. Poorly-designed zoning and other land use regulations increases home prices\, reduces housing availability\, promotes segregation\, lengthens commutes and restricts transportation choices. With the movement to eliminate single-family-exclusive zoning gaining steam\, around the country\, the opportunity is ripe to reimagine zoning entirely. Come participate in a conversation about the need for widespread zoning reform\, what could replace zoning as we know it and how it could advance real change in our neighborhoods. \nCo-presented by APA Northern California.

SUMMARY:Missing-Middle Housing: An Ecosystem of Housing Production
DESCRIPTION:As the housing crisis worsens throughout the Bay Area\, legislators and policymakers from across the region are looking for varying ways to boost housing production to alleviate California’s increasing level of unaffordability. Come join us as we discuss how leaders in the Bay Area can develop an ecosystem of missing-middle housing production that has been missing for decades. \nCo-presented by APA Northern California and California YIMBY.

SUMMARY:ABAG Wildfires & Housing Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The magnitude\, destruction and ferocity of wildfires is increasing\, fueled by the drought and climate change. With frequency\, neighborhoods and entire communities are threatened by fire in California. We can’t control wildfires\, but we can take actions to preserve and protect housing. What can planners do and how can we work collaboratively with public safety\, emergency management professionals\, and our communities? \nThe Work Group series “Wildfires – How to Preserve & Protect Housing” will launch in September with four virtual meetings being held once a month through December. Each session will have experts presenting current information and best practices in addition to sharing background materials\, case studies\, reference sites and other key documents. These sessions will help local agencies gain a better understanding of the evolution and behavior of wildfires\, defensible space\, home hardening\, evacuations (new laws\, practical approaches\, and new models)\, and responsive land use planning in the (WUI) Wildfire/Urban Interface. \nThis Work Group is for local planning and housing staff interested in learning about how the emerging regular reality of wildfires can be included in agencies planning efforts including Housing Elements and Safety Elements. The world of wildfires planning is no longer just the responsibility of fire fighters and emergency managers – a more holistic\, integrated\, and realistic approach is required – which includes planners. \nStarting September 30*\, there will be four virtual meetings of two hours each. There is no limit on the number of attendees per agency. All sessions will be online and recorded for later viewing\, but registrants should commit to participating “live” when possible. \nTopics and dates for the four sessions are listed below. \n• Session 1: Wildfires & Housing 101\nThursday\, September 30*\, 3 – 5 pm \n• Session 2: Defensible Space & Home Hardening with CAL FIRE Updates\nThursday\, October 14\, 3 pm – 5 pm \n• Session 3: Evacuations – The Law\, Practical Approaches & Technology Tools\nThursday\, November 4\, 3 pm – 5 pm \n• Session 4: Land Use Planning in the WUI including ADUs\nThursday\, December 2\, 3 pm – 5 pm \nPlease fill out the 3-minute survey to register.

SUMMARY:Building the Foundation for Transit-Oriented Development in the Bay Area
DESCRIPTION:In July\, SPUR hosted a conversation with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and local developers about the prime opportunities that exist for more successful and equitable transit-oriented development (TOD) throughout the Bay Area — locations that could house thousands of jobs and residents in communities around existing transit. Four months later\, the agency has developed new preliminary policy proposals for its updated TOD plan\, drawing on rigorous analysis and years of research into best practices. Join us to learn what MTC is proposing\, share your questions and concerns and help push the region towards more achievable transit-oriented development. \nCo-presented by TransForm\, Enterprise Community Partners and APA Northern California.  \nAPA Members use discount code APAFALL at checkout to register FREE. \n

SUMMARY:Can Overlay Zones Help the Bay Area's Housing Shortage?
DESCRIPTION:As the housing shortage in the San Francisco Bay Area continues unabated\, elected leaders across the region are exploring myriad options in order to build the number of homes mandated by the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). One of the innovative methods for achieving these housing goals being explored is the creation and application of overlay zones\, at which Berkeley is serving as a regional model. Come hear how overlay zoning are working there\, the success that they’ve seen in Massachusetts and why they might be the best tool for which to address the state’s expanding housing crisis. \nCo-presented by APA Northern California. 1 AICP CM credit available.
