The catch is that it is only allowed in non-residential facilities that were built before April 14, 2011. So you can't build a new ACU or modify your garage into one, but if there is some existing non-residential building in an RM or RU zone, you can do a restaurant/cafe without a CUP

Oakland just made some changes for this. They just changed restaurant/cafe/retail in some residential areas (RM, RU, but not RH) from requiring a conditional use permit to being generally allowed now.

But there's a catch...

I have had this sticker on my garbage can since June 2003 😀

There's a great MCM and the Monster song called "She's Got That Hunger" on this theme that you'd probably like.

If they end up removing 980 that would be a great spot.

Wow. Spent many hours on the Buquebus going between Buenos Aires and Colonia back in the late 90s.

Very cool. In the Bay Area we are fortunate to have The List for show listings.

Supposed to be getting a large amount of snow on the 24th and 25th. I was looking at the Soda Springs forecast and it has between 3 and 4 feet of snow followed by at least a few non-storm days.

Changing the search from "acorns" to "acorns_on_lawn" (no quotes) does find it though, and highlights the file name. Also pulls in things with "lawn" in the file name.

Too many other things going on to get nerd-sniped into digging in more right now though 😀

The Dead Kennedys have a great cover of "I Fought The Law" about this.

The hotel manager, Mr. Heem, would meet all of the large accounts. Put 'em on a personal basis. Just a chat and a handshake.

That's hilarious. GWAR goes after everyone, not just Republicans.

Definitely not a lawyer, but I read the "for which the local government has adopted an ordinance in accordance with Section 65912.160 indicating the site’s exclusion" part to mean they have to explicitly opt in to exclude sites, not that they are excluded automatically.

I read those amendments as the city *could* exclude sites that matched those criteria (low resource, high fire or sea level rise, etc) but that the city had to opt in to those by adopting an alternative plan by July 1, 2026.

If they did not opt in, then the sites would not be excluded.

Does Berkeley actually go around with decibel meters to enforce that?
