City of Daly City Planning Commission Special Meeting -6/3/2026

The City of Daly City Planning Commission held a special meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily to discuss proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance related to storm water management requirements for development projects. The key procurement-related topic was the codification of storm water detention requirements for small development projects, including single-family homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The ordinance aims to clarify when storm water detention is required, exempting small additions and ADUs to reduce costs and regulatory burdens on homeowners. Public comments highlighted concerns about the financial and practical impacts of these requirements, with some residents sharing experiences of costly and delayed projects due to storm water detention mandates. The commission discussed the applicability of the ordinance, leaning toward enforcement at the time of permit application to ensure fairness. A motion to approve the ordinance with included recommendations passed with a majority vote, with one abstention. The ordinance is still in draft form and will be finalized with public input before becoming effective, likely by the end of summer 2026.
