Title 25 Objective Design and Development Standards

To respond to changes in State Law and implement Housing Element Program HE-7, on February 25, 2025 City Council adopted new Objective Design and Development Standards (ODDS) for projects of two or more units, effective on March 27, 2025. 

The project was funded by a Local Early Action Planning grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development and Opticos Design, Inc. was selected as the consultant to the project.

ODDS Zone Map

The ODDS Zone Map (ODDS-ZM) shows zone districts to generate and support pedestrian-oriented, walkable environments. These environments are described as walkable because of their interconnected streets and blocks with sidewalks, variety of housing choices, and proximity to services, shopping, and/or transit.  The zones range in function and intensity from primarily residential areas (Neighborhood Medium and Neighborhood Large) to moderate-intensity corridors (Mixed-Use Corridor), to higher intensity neighborhoods (Downtown Edge) and the highest intensity center (Downtown Core).

Architectural Styles Map

The Architectural Styles Map (ODDS-ASM) designates areas of the City eligible to use the ODDS that allow the Mediterranean style group (yellow), Mediterranean and Craftsman style groups (green), or Mediterranean, Craftsman, and Contemporary style groups (blue). A subset of the area that allows all style groups is designated to allow the the Industrial sub-style of the Contemporary style group, shown in hatched marks.
