Council Member Avilés seeks clarification on the proposal's impact on industrial and manufacturing zones, as well as transition zones. Chair Daniel Garodnick provides answers regarding housing development in these areas.
- The proposal does not allow housing development in industrial and manufacturing zones
- Commercial spaces can only be converted to housing in areas where housing is already allowed
- Transition zones from the City of Economic Opportunity (CEO) proposal were discussed, but housing is not permitted in manufacturing zones

Got it.
4:16:58
So in terms of the I think I heard you say earlier, I just wanna be sure that none of these proposals are meant to build housing and industrial manufacturing zones?
Daniel Garodnick
4:17:09
That's correct.
Alexa Avilés
4:17:10
Okay.
4:17:11
Great.
4:17:12
You know, that that's an important protection for me as we've worked on the CEO, right, for economic opportunity.
4:17:19
I am aware though that there are transition zones that were baked into that proposal that wasn't a great fan of that is bringing more commercial.
4:17:27
Does it have the potential of commercial spaces being transitioned into housing?
Daniel Garodnick
4:17:35
Commercial can convert to housing, only in places where housing is allowed.
4:17:41
In manufacturing zone, it is not allowed.
