Single-family zoning isn’t going away any time soon in Palo Alto after city council members decided this week that apartment buildings don’t belong there.

After deliberating for hours Monday night, the council voted 5-2 to make clear that the “planned home” zoning tool it approved in February 2020 to expedite housing projects only applies to commercial and industrial districts, not residential neighborhoods.
