Approve the ordinance
5 to 3
Why This Vote Matters
The city approved new zoning rules that will allow condominiums to be built at Terminal One for the Point Richmond Shores project in a divided 5-3 vote, with one abstention. The location is currently zoned to prohibit residential development, so this change opens the door for housing where it wasn't previously allowed. Councilmembers Butt, McLaughlin, and Rogers voted against the rezoning, while Thurmond abstained. This vote marks a departure from typical voting patterns, as Butt and Rogers usually support zoning changes but opposed this one.

Hold this matter over until the charette process concludes
4 to 2
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.
