Why This Vote Matters

A proposal to delay rezoning Terminal One for the Point Richmond Shores condominium project failed in a divided vote. Four councilmembers voted to postpone the decision until a community planning process called a charette is finished, but this wasn't enough to pass since three members abstained. The rezoning would allow condominiums to be built at Terminal One, where residential development is currently prohibited. Councilmembers Bates and Viramontes opposed the delay, while Lopez, Marquez, and Sandhu chose not to vote either way.
