What happened
The council approved a housing development plan for the next 8 years by a vote of 7-2, with Butt and McLaughlin voting no. State law requires cities to plan for enough housing to meet projected population growth, and Richmond's draft plan shows where new homes could be built.
The council also approved restricting public comments on routine items to opponents only. The change affects the consent calendar, which includes routine city business like contract approvals and budget adjustments that normally pass without discussion.
The council approved 1 routine item on consent, including denying 5 damage claims totaling $20,000.
