Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Daly City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
St. George Orthodox Church expansion at 1617 Southgate Avenue
A growing congregation wants to replace its old two-story rear wing with a three-story addition for storage, meeting rooms, and visiting clergy quarters. The Commission unanimously endorsed it; the City Council makes the final call on October 26.
Residential development standards review
New rules would require triangular landscaping wherever front-yard paving adds a parking space, and ban side-yard paving on corner lots. The goal is less stormwater runoff and cleaner-looking streetscapes.
Stormwater detention requirements for development projects
The city wants to write its stormwater detention rules into the zoning code so there's no more confusion about who has to build retention systems. Small home additions, ADUs, and small paving projects would be exempt, but new single-family homes on small lots would still have to comply. Residents who were previously forced to build expensive systems are asking why, and whether anyone gets reimbursed.
