Provide Feedback on Foster City’s Single-Family Residential Objective Design and Development Standards

For immediate release: June 5, 2024

Contact: Community Development Department – Planning Division, (650) 286-3225, planning@fostercity.org

Community input is requested in the effort to modernize Foster City’s single-family design guidelines, policies, and applicable zoning code regulations into one comprehensive document called Single Family Objective Design and Development Standards. Unlike conventional design guidelines, objective design standards are written to have no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and City staff.

As part of this initiative, Foster City has launched a survey to gather input from community members about their priorities and viewpoints concerning single-family home designs, which will contribute to the preparation of this document. The survey is available at: https://engagefostercity.org/single-family-objective-design-and-development-standards/surveys/community-input-single-family-home-design-standards.

Foster City residents and community members can learn more about this citywide initiative at: https://engagefostercity.org/single-family-objective-design-and-development-standards

City staff will hold several public meetings over the next few months to solicit feedback from the community. There will also be tabling events where residents can meet and discuss the proposed standards with city staff.
