What Kumani Armstrong said
One question that I didn't hear you address. Um, the neighbor's concerned that the house is 6 feet closer to their house. Um, and obviously the property is large enough. It seems like there could be, um, additional areas where that 6 foot could be compensated elsewhere. Can you speak on that?Kumani ArmstrongVice Chair · Orinda Planning Commission · Jun 24, 2025Watch the full meeting from 32:23
I will open it up to the commissioners for questions. I will start with, uh, you kind of touched on one of my questions that I wrote down here, but, um, will these new laws retroactively impact our housing element? And it sounds like you said, mentioned perhaps 2 of them, um, will.

Kumani ArmstrongChair · Orinda Planning Commission · Feb 10, 2026Watch the full meeting from 17:12I have a question. So my— for my clarity, the site was previously identified in the EIR as an opportunity site. It just was not selected. For the actual plan. But now it's— we're kind of revisiting that and looking at it again. And I guess my question is kind of what brought on us to reevaluate that site.
