Broadway Plan Demoviction Tracking Referral

Summary

• Motion proposed affirming commitment to protect affordable rental stock in the Broadway Plan area and directing staff to track building permits for renovations, demolition permits, tenant displacement numbers, and vacancy rates as part of quarterly Broadway Plan implementation memos, and to report back on strategies to limit demovictions including possible reconsideration of a pace-of-change policy.
• Background: Council previously rejected both a Renters Office and a Broadway Plan Pace of Change policy; existing Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy applies to rezoning and development permits but not building permits used for renovictions.
• A procedural dispute arose: the Acting Mayor initially ruled the motion out of order as conflicting with a prior resolution, then withdrew the ruling after brief recess and debate.
• Referred to the May 10 Standing Committee on City Finance and Services to hear from speakers before debate and decision.
