Daly City's longest debate on Oct. 26, 2026, centered on one driveway gate at St. George Orthodox Church. The mayor pressed staff on traffic circulation before the council unanimously approved a three-story addition. The council also voted 5-0 to move $500,000 in federal block grant money from a delayed Early Learning Center to affordable housing repairs, aiming to meet a federal spending deadline. Public comment brought a plea to protect a local services hub and unverified allegations against a sitting councilmember.

The basics: The council heard amended use permit UPR-08-26-017128 and design review DR-08-26-017129 for a rear addition at St. George Orthodox Church. A use permit sets the conditions for an activity on a site. Design review governs the building itself.
