CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: January 28, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager/Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Amendment Number 2425-02
BACKGROUND:

The City Council must hold a special election for the vacant Council seat of former Councilmember Juan Murillo. Staff believes that the cost of the special election should not exceed $35,000. There is currently $3,000 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 general fund budget (elections expense account) for this item; therefore a budget adjustment is required in order to allocate funding for the election. The budget adjustment will require the use of general fund reserves as the FY 24-25 budget was already in balance and did not have an allowance for contingencies. Current general fund reserves are estimated at $2,000,000 or about 25% of one year’s general fund exepense.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council adopt budget amendment number 2425-02.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost of the special election is approximately $35,000 which $32,000 will have to be pulled from general fund reserves.

Staff Report – Maddy Act – Local Appointments List 2025.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: January 28, 2025
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Cecilia Vela, City Clerk
Jeff Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: Approval of A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Regarding the Preparing of the 2025 Local Appointments List and Posting of the Same.

BACKGROUND:

The Legislature enacted Government Code Section 54970, also known as "The Maddy Act" to increase public awareness of appointments to be made by any local government. It provides equal access to information about local regulating and advisory boards, commissions, and committees, allowing citizens to participate in local government operations by serving on such bodies. Government Code Section 54972 requires each legislative body to prepare, on or before December 31st of each year, a “Local Appointments List” of all regular and ongoing boards, commissions and committees which are appointed by the legislative body of the local agency. The City Clerk will post the Local Appointments List upon the City Council’s approval of the attached Resolution.

Government Code Sections 54970 – 54974, providing further information related to the Maddy Act, are listed below.

GOVERNMENT CODE
TITLE 5. LOCAL AGENCIES [50001 - 57607]
CHAPTER 11. Local Appointments List [54970 - 54974]
54970.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that a vast and largely untapped reservoir of talent exists among the citizenry of the State of California, and that rich and varied segments of this great human resource are, all too frequently, not aware of the many opportunities which exist to participate in and serve on local regulatory and advisory boards, commissions, and committees.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the general public of this state has traditionally been denied access to information regarding vacancies which occur on such boards, commissions, and committees, thereby denying most citizens and interest groups the opportunity to nominate for consideration by the respective appointive powers persons whose particular strengths, backgrounds, experience, perspective, and talents might contribute significantly to efficient and representative policy development and administration in local government.
(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that the respective local appointive powers have been denied access to a talent resource hitherto untapped.
(d) The Legislature further finds and declares that all citizens of the state, regardless of their place of residence should have equal access to specific and current information about the many local regulating and advisory boards, commissions, and committees and equal opportunity to be informed of vacancies which shall occur thereon, so that they may pursue the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the operations of local government by serving on such boards, commissions, and committees. (e) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that this chapter shall apply to all cities and all counties throughout California, including charter cities and charter counties.

(b) “Local agency” means a county or city, whether chartered or general law. 54972.

TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Assistant Planner
Jake Raper, Contract Planner
Jeffery Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: A Public Hearing to Consider Introduction and First Reading of An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approving Zoning Code Amendment 2025-01 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit and Acceptance of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council, on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, adopted Ordinance No. 2023-486 Accessory Dwelling Units on October 24, 2023, and became effective thirty days after adoption. As required by state law, the City of Arvin mailed the adopted ordinance on October 30, 2023, to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)for compliance review, Attachment 1.

On September 23, 2024, approximately one year later, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provided their review and requirements for various amendments to the adopted ordinance, Attachment 2.

Upon receipt of the review by HCD, the City’s Consultant, Precision Engineering and Associates, prepared the required amendments and inserted the proposed changes into Chapter 17.51 and prepared a response letter which identified updates and amendments. The letter which detailed the proposed changes and the draft amendments to Chapter 17.51 were sent to HCD on October 16, 2024, Attachments 3 and 4.

On October 24, 2024 the City received an email from HCD which advised the City that HCD does not review draft code amendments but require the city to adopt the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance prior to their review. HCD also advised that two new bills were signed into law which goes into effect on 1/1/2025:

1. SB 1211 (Chapter 296, Statutes of 2024) changes the allowances for multifamily detached ADUs, among other things.

2. AB 2533 (Chapter 834, Statutes of 2024) changes the special procedures for permitting unpermitted ADUs.

On September 19, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-92 which authorized the City Manager to bring forward various code amendments; whenever the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, or good practices justify such action. The City Manager is recommending that the Planning Commission and City Council amend various sections of Chapter

17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE:

This public hearing notice was posted on January 16, 2025 at the following designated places for posting of public notices: (1) Arvin City Hall/City Council Chambers; (2) Arvin Police Department; and (3) Community Development Department; (4) City of Arvin’s website at www.arvin.org; providing a 10-day review, in accordance with Government Code Sections 36933, 65854, and 65090, Attachment 5.

DISCUSSION:

Based upon the information from HCD and the requirements of Government Code Tile 7 Planning and Land Use, Division 1 Planning and Zoning Chapter 12, Housing Crisis Act of 2019 and Chapter 13 Accessory Dwelling Units (66310-66342), Attachment 6, staff is presenting the proposed zone code amendment to the City of Arvin’s Title 17 Zoning, Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Units. The proposed ordinance amendment has underlined in red proposed additions and text that are to be deleted are struck through in red so that the proposed changes are highlighted for the reader. Attached as Exhibit 1 - Draft Ordinance No. XX, ZCA No. 2024- Code Amendments Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Units that show the proposed additions and deletions.

Staff recommended that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation that the City Council Approve Zoning Code Amendment 2024 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit on December 17, 2024.

Upon adoption of the ADU ordinance by the City Council, as required by Government Code Section 66326 (a) the City is to submit a copy of the ADU to the Department of Housing and Community Development within 60 days after adoption. After adoption of an ordinance, the department may submit written findings to the local agency as to whether the ordinance complies with this article. Staff will forward the adopted ordinance to the State California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for its comments which may require additional changes. If comments are received, the ordinance will need to be further amended to address any changes. If HCD finds that any adopted ordinance enacted by a local jurisdiction is in any way inconsistent with state law, the ordinance is void. If this occurs, the ADU ordinance will require amending.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

The zoning code amendment 2024 to Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit, is Statutory Exempted, Section 15282(h), from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA. The adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city or county to implement the provisions of Sections 66310-66342 of the Government Code as outlined in Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code). Additionally, the adopted Ordinance amends ADU regulations and implements the goals, policies, and programs of the City of Arvin Housing Element. The adopted amendments implement the adopted housing

Lastly, due to their limited impact, state law deems ADUs to be ministerial projects and, therefore, exempt from CEQA. Staff has prepared a Draft Notice of Exemption for the Zoning Code Amendment 2024 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit, Attachment 7.

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Revenue Reduction: Minor reduction in revenues due to the state's ordinance preventing a local agency from assessing discretionary processing fees and in most cases the collection of impact fees and connection fees for utilities. This Project is funded by LEAP grant by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development for the purpose of providing additional opportunities for housing, in line with the goals contained in the Arvin General Plan and 2013-2023 Housing Element and the updated 2023-2031 Housing Element.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the City Council open the hearing, allow for public testimony, close the hearing, introduce the Ordinance and waive first reading of the Ordinance to be read by title only, and approve the introduction of Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arvin Approve Zoning Code Amendment 2024 - Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Unit and acceptance of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption.

1. Front yard setbacks. All ADUs shall meet the minimum front yard setback as established in the applicable zone district, provided the setbacks do not preclude the construction of an up to 800 square foot ADU that meets the provisions of Government Code Section 66323.

2. Rear and side yard setbacks shall be the minimum as listed below, except where public utility easement(s) requires a greater setback.
i. Interior side yard setbacks: Interior side yard shall be a minimum of four (4) feet. ii. Corner side yard setback: Corner yard setback shall be six (6) feet. iii. Interior rear yard setback: Interior Rear yard setback shall be a minimum of four (4) feet for interior lots.
iv. Corner rear yard setback: Corner rear yard setback for corner lot shall be a minimum of six (6) feet.

3. When an existing structure is converted to an ADU, and the existing structure either has no setbacks or has setbacks of less than four (4) feet, then the ADU shall maintain the same setbacks as the existing structure or setbacks of four (4) feet from the side and rear yards, whichever is less, if the ADU is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as the existing structure. i. Conversion of existing structures to an ADU not meeting the minimum setbacks shall be designed and/or retrofitted to meet the fire and building codes.

E. Parking requirements.

1. One (1) parking space shall be provided per ADU, where applicable. This space may be provided as tandem parking on a driveway where the parking of vehicles do not block sidewalks nor pedestrian access. Parking of vehicles shall not be within four (4) feet of the interior side yard and shall not be within six (6) feet of a corner side yard setbacks. The four (4) foot and six (6) foot non-parking areas are to ensure health and safety access by emergency personnel and site visibility at street intersections.

2. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, replacement parking is not required. Off-street parking may be within the front yard setback area and may be designed as tandem parking or other design that accommodates off-street parking. The city code requires two (2) off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit but does not require garages nor carports for off-street parking. Therefore, two-off-street parking spaces are required and when required one (1) off-street parking for the ADU. As noted, tandem parking shall not block sidewalks or public access.

3. Exceptions. No parking shall be required for ADUs in any of the following instances:
i. The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit. ii. The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. iii. The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure. iv. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant(s) of the ADU. v. There is a car share vehicle located within one (1) block of the ADU. vi. When a permit application for an ADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling or a new multi-family dwelling on the same lot.

F. Architectural review. The construction of new ADUs shall be subject to Section 17.50.130 Single-family dwellings and mobile homes - Development/Architectural Standards. ADUs shall have the same exterior finish materials and roof form as the existing or proposed single-family or multi-family dwelling on the parcel.

G. Access and entry. Except for ADUs approved under Government Code Section 66323, an ADU shall have a separate entry from the primary residence and shall be from the side or rear yard.

H. Density limits. An ADU that conforms to the ordinance All ADUs shall be deemed to be an accessory use or accessory building and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which it is located and shall be deemed to be a residential use which is consistent with the existing general plan land use and zoning designations for the lot. The ADU shall not be considered in the application of any local ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.

17.51.070 Other requirements.

A. Availability of utilities.

1. Utility connections. ADUs may be subject to utility connections as provided herein.

2. Private sewage disposal system. ADUs not serviced by the city's wastewater system must receive clearance from the Kern County Public Health Services Department. The applicant shall provide clearance to the city building division prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Attachment: 2 - DRAFT Ord ZCA 2024 PC Mtg Nov 15 2024_CC Mtg of 012825 (Public Hearing: First Reading - Ordinance Zone Change Amend Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.51 Accessory Dwelling Units Page 6 of 11 B. Addressing. The ADU shall be required to apply for and pay the adopted addressing fee for the proposed ADU(s), whether the ADU is an attached or detached. The address must be assigned prior to the issuance of the building permit.

C. Fire sprinklers. Installation of fire sprinklers may not be required in ADUs (attached, detached, or conversion) where sprinklers were not required by building codes for the existing primary residence. For example, a detached single-family home designed and constructed decades ago would not have been required to have fire sprinklers installed under the applicable building code at the time. However, if the same primary dwelling recently underwent significant alteration and is now required to have fire sprinklers, any ADU created after that alteration must be provided with fire sprinklers. (Government Code Section 66314(d)(12) and 66323(c)) 65852.2, subds. (a)(1)(D)(xii) and (e)(3).) Please note, for ADUs created on lots with multifamily residential structures, the entire residential structure shall serve as the "primary residence" for the purposes of this analysis. Therefore, if the multifamily structure is served by fire sprinklers, the ADU can be required to install fire sprinklers. For additional guidance on ADUs and fire sprinkler system requirements, please consult the office of the state fire marshal. If fire sprinklers are not required for the primary residence, then installation of fire sprinklers is not required in an ADU. However, if the primary residence undergoes significant remodeling and is required to install fire sprinklers, an ADU created after the remodel would also be required to install fire sprinklers.

D. Solar panels. New ADUs are subject to the California Energy Code requirement (excluding manufactured homes) to provide solar systems if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, non-manufactured, detached ADU (though some exceptions apply). Per the California Energy Commission (CEC), the solar systems can be installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling unit. ADUs that are constructed within existing space, or as an addition to existing homes, including detached additions where an existing detached building is converted from non-residential to residential space, are not subject to the Energy Code requirement to provide solar systems.

E. Flood elevation certification. All ADUs are required to comply with Chapter 15.32 Floodplain Management when the proposed ADU is located within the FEMA Flood Hazard area which has a one (1) percent annual chance for shallow flooding. If applicable, prior to the issuance of the building permit, compliance with Section 15.32.170(C) and (D) of the Arvin Municipal Code and prior to the issuance of the building permit, a flood certification shall be provided.

F. Building code compliance is required for all ADUs. The building division will not issue final building permits for an ADU before approval of building permits for the primary dwelling.

G. Kern County Fire Department Clearance shall be required prior to the issuance of a building permit for an ADU.

H. Other code compliance as may be applicable, such as but not limited to encroachment permits, lot mergers, lot line adjustments, etc.

17.51.080 Occupancy, rental, and sale limitations.

A. Owner occupancy shall not be required for ADUs.

B. Rental of ADUs shall be a minimum of thirty (30) days.

C. Separate conveyance. An ADU may be rented separate from the primary residence but may not be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence, except when sold by a qualified nonprofit corporation to a qualified buyer in accordance with California Government Code Section 66340-66342 65852.26 with affordability restrictions.

17.51.090 Fee requirements.

A. Connection fees or capacity charges. An ADU shall not be considered to be a new residential use for the purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity chargers for utilities, including water and sewer service, unless the ADU was constructed with a new single-family dwelling. Where a new ADU and new residential unit is applied for and constructed, the new ADU and new residential unit shall pay the applicable sewer connection fee in place at the time of submittal.

B. Impact fees. Impact fees shall not be imposed on an ADU that is less than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet in size. For ADUs that are greater than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet in size, impact fees charged shall be proportionate in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.

C. Permit processing fee. Application fees shall be as established by resolution of the city council for the processing of the planning and building permit applications. Other fees such as but not limited to file maintenance and technology fees shall be required. All state mandatory fees associated with building permits shall be required.

D. Monthly charges for sewer and water. ADUs shall be subject to the monthly utility fees for wastewater. Water service is provided by Arvin Community Services District and as such an ADU may be subject to the monthly utility fees for domestic water service.

17.51.100 Conditions for non-conforming uses and structures.

A. Nonconforming conditions. Notwithstanding Chapter 17.52, to the contrary, an owner of an ADU that receives a notice to correct violations or abate nuisance, in relation to the ADU, may request a delay for five (5) years in in enforcement of a building standard, as long as the violation is not a health and safety issue as determined by the city's building official, subject to compliance with the Health and Safety Code Section 17980.12 and the following conditions:

1. The ADU was built before January 1, 2020.

2. The ADU was built on or after January 1, 2020, in a local jurisdiction that, at the time the ADU was built, had a noncompliant ADU ordinance, but the ordinance is compliant at the time the request is made.

(Government Code Section 66323(a)(1) and (2))65852.2, subds. (e)(1)(A) and (B).) M. Multifamily dwelling under ADU law is as follows: For the purposes of state ADU law, a structure with two (2) or more attached dwellings on a single lot is considered a multifamily dwelling structure.

If the permit application to create a JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay approving or denying acting on the permit application for the JADU until the permitting agency acts on the permit application to create the new single-family dwelling, but the application to create the JADU shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay.

Dear Chris Soriano:

RE: Review of Arvin’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance under State ADU Law (Gov. Code, §§ 66313 - 66342)
Please Note: As of March 25, 2024, with the Chaptering of Senate Bill (SB) 477 (Chapter 7, Statutes of 2024), the sections of Government Code relevant to State ADU and JADU Law have been re-numbered (Enclosure 1).

Thank you for submitting the City of Arvin (City) accessory dwelling unit (ADU) Ordinance No. 2023-486 (Ordinance), adopted October 24, 2023, to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Ordinance was received on December 26, 2023. HCD has reviewed the Ordinance and submits these written findings pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (a). HCD finds that the Ordinance fails to comply with State ADU and JADU Law in the manner noted below. Pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (b)(1), the City has up to 30 days to respond to these findings. Accordingly, the City must provide a written response to these findings no later than October 23, 2024.

The Ordinance addresses many statutory requirements; however, HCD finds that the Ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law as follows:

1. Statutory Numbering - The Ordinance contains several references to code sections that were deleted by SB 477, effective March 25, 2024. These include Government Code sections 65852.2, 65852.22 and 65852.26. The contents of these sections were relocated to Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 13 (sections 66310-66342, see Enclosure). The City must amend the Ordinance to refer to the correct code sections.

2. Sections 17.51.020, 17.51.030, 17.51.120.B, 17.51.120.E – Administrative Permit Process – Section 17.51.020 of the Ordinance states, “An Administrative Permit in compliance with Chapter 17.05 is required for ADUs along with a Building Permit” and it “shall be considered and approved ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.” Section 17.51.030 of the Ordinance also makes several references to the Administrative Permit requirement. Section

5.A.5
Attachment: Att 2 - Arvin-ADU-Findings-092324_Redacted (Public Hearing: First Reading - Ordinance Zone Change Amend 2025-01 - ADU) Chris Soriano, City Planner

Page 2 ends

17.51.120.B of the Ordinance states, “An administrative permit shall be required for the creation of a JADU.” Section 17.51.120.E of the Ordinance states: “Fees for a JADU shall be established by the City Council and said fees shall be, but not limited to, Administrative Permit Application, Building Plan Check Fees, Building Permit Fees, and state mandated fees relating to the issuance of building permits.” Arvin Municipal Code (AMC) section 17.05.030 describes the required findings to approve an Administrative Permit, including: “That the proposed use will be harmonious with existing structures and uses of land in the vicinity.”
However, “A permit application for an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit shall be considered and approved ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing, notwithstanding Section 65901 or 65906 or any local ordinance regulating the issuance of variances or special use permits.”1 Additionally, “objective standards” are defined as: “standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal.”2 Ministerial approval must only be based on objective standards, but some of the required findings for an Administrative Permit, are not objective. The Administrative Permit process is not ministerial, it is discretionary.

Therefore, the Ordinance contradicts itself when it says an Administrative Permit is required for an ADU or JADU and the review must be ministerial. The review of an ADU or JADU application must be ministerial, but that cannot be accomplished through the current Administrative Permit process. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to delete the requirement for an Administrative Permit and associated fees for ADUs and for JADUs.

3. Section 17.51.020.B.1 – Review Process – The Ordinance states, “Should the permit application to create an ADU be submitted concurrently with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, in which case the City shall not act on the ADU permit application until the City acts on the permit application for the new single-family dwelling unit; or The applicant requests a delay, in which case the sixty (60)-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. If the City has not acted upon the completed application for the ADU within 60 days, and neither of the above exceptions are met, then the application for the ADU shall be deemed approved” (emphasis added). However, Government Code section 66317, subdivision (a), uses the phrase “approve or deny” instead of “act on”. Additionally, “If a permitting agency denies an application for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit pursuant to subdivision (a), the permitting agency shall, within the time period described in subdivision (a), return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant.”3 State ADU Law uses the 1 Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a).
2 Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (h).
3 Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (b).

phrase “approve or deny” so that local agencies refrain from other actions that could delay ADU approval beyond the timeframes established by law. The law also requires a full set of comments to reduce the likelihood that an applicant would have to resubmit an ADU application multiple times. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to replace phrases like “act on” with “approve or deny” and to require a detailed set of comments in cases where an application is denied.

4. Section 17.51.020.C – Development Standards for Statewide Exemption ADUs – The Ordinance states, “ADU shall be subject to this section and under subdivision (e) of Government Code 65852.2 shall not be subject to design and development standards except for those that are noted in this Chapter.” However, Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (e)(1) has been renumbered. The new section states: “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following:”4 and lists the four types of statewide exemption ADUs, two of which can be combined with a JADU. ADUs approved under section 66323 are not subject to development standards which conflict with section 66323. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to note that ADUs approved under section 66323 are not subject to conflicting development standards.

5. Section 17.51.050 & 17.51.110.L – Number and Types of ADUs Allowed – Section 17.51.050 of the Ordinance states, “A. Lots with a Single-Family Dwelling. The following number and types of ADUs shall be allowed per lot that is zoned to allow single-family residential uses and includes a proposed or existing single-family dwelling. 1. One (1) attached ADU: or 2. One (1) detached ADU; and 3. One (1) JADU (See Section 17.51.120)” (emphasis added). The Ordinance continues regarding lots with multifamily dwellings: “Conversion of non-livable spaces to create ADU(s). At least one (1) ADU within the portions of existing multi-family structures, from the conversion of non-Livable area shall be allowed per lot that is zoned to allow multi-family residential uses and includes an existing multi-family structure so long as it does not exceed 25 percent of the total number of existing dwelling units. ADUs within multi-family structures must be converted from non-livable areas and if no non-livable areas exist no ADUs will be permitted” (emphasis added). Section 17.51.110.L of the Ordinance states, “A lot where there are currently multiple detached singlefamily dwellings is eligible for creation of one ADU per lot by converting space within the proposed or existing space of a single-family dwelling or existing structure and by building a new detached ADU subject to certain development standards”(emphasis added). “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322, inclusive, a local agency shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following: (1) One accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory dwelling unit per lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling…(i) The accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is within the proposed space of a single-family 4 Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a).

dwelling or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure.” Paragraph (2) permits “[o]ne detached, new construction, accessory dwelling unit that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks.”5 The use of the term “any” followed by an enumeration of by-right ADU types permitted means that any of these ADU types can be combined on a lot zoned for single-family dwellings. This permits a homeowner, who meets specified requirements, to create one converted ADU; one detached, new construction ADU; and one JADU. Thus, if the local agency approves an ADU that is created from existing (or proposed) space, and the owner subsequently applies for a detached ADU (or vice versa) that meets the size and setbacks pursuant to the subdivision, the local agency cannot deny the application, nor deny a permit for a JADU under this section.

This subdivision applies equally to ADUs created pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivisions (a)(3) and (a)(4), on lots with proposed or existing multifamily dwellings. Limiting single-family lots to one ADU would prevent property owners from creating ADUs by-right under section 66323. Limiting multifamily lots to either conversion ADUs or detached ADUs would prevent property owners from creating ADUs by-right under section 66323. The phrase “so long as” in bold above is unlawful because one multifamily conversion ADU must always be allowed in non-habitable space, despite the 25 percent calculation (i.e., if there were two or three multifamily primary units, one multifamily conversion ADU would still be allowed). The phrase “if no non-livable areas exist no ADUs will be permitted” in bold above is unlawful because two multifamily detached ADUs would still be permissible in the scenario described.

Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to allow all the ADUs which are permissible under Government Code section 66323.

6. Section 17.51.060.A.3 – Distance Between Buildings – The Ordinance states, “Space Between Buildings shall be established in the applicable zone district.” However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), prohibits the application of conflicting development standards to statewide exemption ADUs.

For other ADUs, the distance between buildings requirements may be applied, but those requirements are not specifically cited in the Ordinance, which creates confusion for people who are unfamiliar with the City’s zoning code. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to note that statewide exemption ADUs approved under section 66323 are exempt from distance between buildings requirements. The City should also amend the Ordinance to cite the code sections where the specific requirements for distance between buildings are located.

7. Section 17.51.060.B.2 –Exemption from Development Standards – The Ordinance states, “The maximum floor area of an attached ADU shall not exceed 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling for an attached ADU but is permitted to be at least 800 square feet.” However, a local agency shall not establish by ordinance, “Any requirement for a zoning clearance or separate zoning review or any other minimum or maximum size for an accessory dwelling unit, size based upon a percentage of the proposed or existing primary dwelling, or limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, front setbacks, and minimum lot size, for either attached or detached dwellings that does not permit at least an 800 square foot accessory dwelling unit with four-foot side and rear yard setbacks to be constructed in compliance with all other local development standards.”6 The quoted section of the Ordinance is correct. However, Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(3) exempts certain ADUs from more than just a maximum size based on a percentage of lot area. Therefore, the Ordinance should be amended to note the full range of development standards that certain ADUs are exempt from under section 66321.

8. Section 17.51.060.C – Height Limits – The Ordinance states, “All ADUs shall comply with the minimum height restrictions as established in. the applicable zone district.” However, a local agency shall not establish, “Any height limitation that does not allow at least the following, as applicable…”7 and lists four different scenarios with different ADU height limits. Additionally, “No local ordinance, policy, or regulation, other than an accessory dwelling unit ordinance consistent with this article shall be the basis for the delay or denial of a building permit or a use permit under this section.”8 The Ordinance does not state what the applicable ADU height limits are, nor does it cite the code sections where the height limits are listed. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to specifically cite the code sections with all the referenced height limits and if any of them are more restrictive than those allowed by Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(4), the City must also amend the Ordinance to comply with subdivision (b)(4).

9. Section 17.51.060.D.1 – Front Setbacks – The Ordinance states, “All ADUs shall meet the minimum front yard setback as established in the applicable zone district.” However, Government Code sections 66321, subdivision (b)(3) and Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), require local agencies to approve ADUs regardless of front setback requirements, when certain conditions are met. The Ordinance does not make the required exceptions from front setback requirements. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to exempt ADUs meeting the criteria of sections 66321 and 66323 from front setback requirements.

10.Section 17.51.060.D.2 – Corner Lot Setbacks – The Ordinance states that, “Corner yard setback shall be six (6) feet” and “Corner Rear Yard Setback for corner lot shall be a minimum of six (6) Feet.” However, “No setback shall be required for an existing living area or accessory structure or a structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure that is converted to an accessory dwelling unit or to a portion of an accessory dwelling unit, and a setback of no more than four feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an accessory dwelling unit that is not converted from an existing structure or a new structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure.”9 State ADU Law does not allow local agencies to impose side or rear setback requirements greater than four feet on lots inland of the Coastal Zone. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to delete the six-foot side and rear setback requirements for corner lots.

11.Section 17.51.060.E.3 – Exceptions to Parking Requirements – The Ordinance states, “No parking shall be required for ADUs in any of the following instances:” and lists five instances. However, parking requirements are prohibited “When a permit application for an accessory dwelling unit is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling or a new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the accessory dwelling unit or the parcel satisfies any other criteria listed in this paragraph.”10 The Ordinance lacks this exception.

Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to add the exception from parking requirements cited in this paragraph.

12.Section 17.51.060.F – Architectural Standards – The Ordinance states, “The construction of new ADUs shall be subject to Section 17.50.130 Single-family dwellings and mobile homes - Development/Architectural Standards.” AMC section 17.50.130 includes standards for roof overhangs, roofing materials, roof pitch, siding material, minimum square footage, foundations, and deviations.

However, “The local agency shall not deny an application for a permit to create an accessory dwelling unit due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the accessory dwelling unit.”11 Additionally, an ADU may include an “efficiency unit” as defined in Health and Safety Code section 17985.1.12 The standards on roof overhangs, materials, pitch, and siding material would be problematic in a case where an applicant was attempting to permit a nonconforming ADU which meets safety standards, since the Ordinance does not make this exception. The Ordinance’s application of a minimum square footage of 775 square feet to ADUs would preclude certain efficiency units that must be allowed, and which may be 9 Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(7).
10 Gov. Code, § 66322, subd. (a)(6).

as small as 150 square feet. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to 1) note the exception from development standards cited in this paragraph and 2) exempt ADUs from the minimum floor area of 775 square feet.

13.Section 17.51.060.G – ADU Entry – The Ordinance states, “An ADU shall have a separate entry from the primary residence and shall be from the side or rear yard.” However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a), exempts statewide exemption ADUs from conflicting development standards. The Ordinance fails to note this exception. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to clarify that statewide exemption ADUs are not subject to this requirement.

14.Section 17.51.060.H – Consistency with General Plan and Zoning – The Ordinance states: “An ADU that conforms to the ordinance shall be deemed to be an accessory use or accessory building and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which it is located and shall be deemed to be a residential use which is consistent with the existing general plan land use and zoning designations for the lot. The ADU shall not be considered in the application of any local ordinance. policy, or program to limit residential growth” (emphasis added). Government Code section 66314, subdivision (c) states an ADU ordinance shall: “Provide that accessory dwelling units do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located, and that accessory dwelling units are a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot.” State ADU Law makes it clear that subdivision (c) applies to all ADUs, not just conforming ADUs. As noted above, Government Code section 66322, subdivision (b) requires local agencies to approve nonconforming ADUs that do not present a threat to public health and safety. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to state that all ADUs, not just those that conform to the Ordinance, are subject to the protections of Government Code section 66314, subdivision (c).

15.Section 17.51.120 – One JADU Per Lot – The Ordinance permits,”…one (1) junior accessory dwelling units (JADU) in single-family residential zones” (emphasis added). However, a JADU ordinance shall, “Limit the number of junior accessory dwelling units to one per residential lot zoned for single-family residences with a single-family residence built, or proposed to be built, on the lot.”13 In a probable typo, the Ordinance uses the plural “units” after correctly noting the limit of one JADU (“per residential lot” appears directly below in the Ordinance), which could create confusion in the context of the quoted sentence.

Therefore, the City should correct the Ordinance to replace “units” with “unit per lot.”

16.Section 17.51.120.B.4 – JADU Attached Garage Conversion – The Ordinance states, “A permitted JADU shall be constructed within the walls of proposed or existing single-family residence.” However, a JADU ordinance shall, “Require a permitted junior accessory dwelling unit to be constructed within the walls of the proposed or existing single-family residence. For purposes of this paragraph, enclosed uses within the residence, such as attached garages, are considered a part of the proposed or existing single-family residence.”14 The Ordinance omits the important sentence about an attached garage being eligible for conversion to a JADU. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to note that an attached garage is eligible for conversion to a JADU.

17.Section 17.51.120.B.5 – JADU Entrances – The Ordinance states, “The JADU shall provide a separate entrance from the main entrance to the proposed or existing single-family residence.” However, a JADU ordinance shall also include the requirement that “If a permitted junior accessory dwelling unit does not include a separate bathroom, the permitted junior accessory dwelling unit shall include a separate entrance from the main entrance to the structure, with an interior entry to the main living area.”15 The Ordinance is silent on this issue.

Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to incorporate the requirement for an interior doorway between the JADU and the main house when the JADU does not have its own bathroom.

18.Section 17.51.120.D – JADU Approval or Denial – The Ordinance states, “The Planning Division shall act on a completed application to create a JADU within 60 days from the date the local agency receives a completed application if there is an existing single-family dwelling on the lot. If the permit application to create a JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay acting on the permit application for the JADU until the permitting agency acts on the permit application to create the new single-family dwelling, but the application to create the JADU shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.” However, “The permitting agency shall either approve or deny the application to create or serve a junior accessory dwelling unit within 60 days from the date the local agency receives a completed application if there is an existing single-family dwelling on the lot. If the permit application to create or serve a junior accessory dwelling unit is submitted with a permit application to create or serve a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay approving or denying the permit application for the junior accessory dwelling unit until the permitting agency approves or denies the permit application to create or serve the new single-family dwelling, but the application to create or serve the junior accessory dwelling unit shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing”16 (emphasis added). Additionally, “If a permitting agency denies an application for a junior accessory dwelling unit pursuant to subdivision (a), the permitting agency shall, within the time period 14 Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d).

described in subdivision (a), return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant.”17 State law requires the permitting agency to approve or deny the application, but the Ordinance uses the more ambiguous and misleading phrases “act on,” “acting on” and “acts on” instead. The Ordinance is silent on the requirement to provide a full set of detailed comments necessary to remedy the application if the application is denied. The Ordinance states that the Planning Division must act on the application, but all City departments must review the application concurrently within the timeframes specified in section 66335. For example, the Planning Division may not take the entire allotted time to approve or deny and then pass the application on Building and Safety. Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to 1) replace the three inaccuracies of “act on” with “approve or deny”, 2) require a full set of detailed comments necessary to remedy the application in case of denial and 3) clarify that the City as a whole, is bound by the requirements of subdivision (c), as opposed to just the Planning Division.

19.Section 17.51.120.H – JADU Parking Requirements – The Ordinance states, “This section shall not be construed to prohibit a local agency from adopting an ordinance or regulation, related to parking or a service or a connection fee for water, sewer, or power, that applies to a single-family residence that contains a JADU, so long as that ordinance or regulation applies uniformly to all singlefamily residences regardless of whether the single-family residence includes a JADU” (emphasis added). However, “This section shall not be construed to prohibit a local agency from adopting an ordinance or regulation related to a service or a connection fee for water, sewer, or power, that applies to a singlefamily residence that contains a junior accessory dwelling unit, so long as that ordinance or regulation applies uniformly to all single-family residences regardless of whether the single-family residence includes a junior accessory dwelling unit.”18 State ADU Law amended by SB 897 (Chapter 664, Statutes of 2022), effective January 1, 2023 no longer includes parking. The only remaining part of State JADU Law that mentions parking states, “An ordinance shall not require additional parking as a condition to grant a permit.” Allowing the reference to parking to remain here will create confusion about the applicability of parking requirements in the zoning code that conflict with State JADU Law.

Therefore, the City must amend the Ordinance to delete the reference to parking in section 17.51.120.H.

20.Section 17.51.130.C – Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 17980.12 – The Ordinance states, “Effective January 1, 2020, Section 17980.12 was added to the Health and Safety Code immediately following Section 17980.11. to read: For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:” and then goes on to define “junior accessory dwelling unit” and “local agency.” Government Code section 66313 contains these definitions, not HSC section 17 Gov. Code, § 66335, subd. (b).
18 Gov. Code, § 66338, subd. (b).

17980.12. Additionally, Ordinance section 17.51.130.D addresses HSC section 17980.12 in detail, starting by repeating the first sentence quoted above. The reference to HSC 17980.12 in section 17.51.130.C creates confusion. Therefore, the City should amend the Ordinance to delete the first sentence, which references HSC section 17980.12.

21.Section 17.51.130.D – HSC Section 17980.12 – The Ordinance reprints extended portions of HSC section 17980.12 here, regarding a five-year delay in code enforcement for certain ADUs. However, HSC Section 17980.12, subdivision (a)(3) states, “A local agency shall not require, as a condition for ministerial approval of a permit application for the creation of an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit, the correction of a violation on the primary dwelling unit, provided that correcting the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety.” The City has omitted subdivision (a)(3) from the Ordinance. It is either necessary to include HSC section 17980.12 in its entirety in the Ordinance or provide a reference to this imperative section. The City must amend the Ordinance accordingly to reflect the law.

Please note that the City has two options in response to this letter.19 The City can either amend the Ordinance to comply with State ADU Law20 or adopt the Ordinance without changes and include findings in its resolution adopting the Ordinance that explain the reasons the City believes that the Ordinance complies with State ADU Law despite HCD’s findings.21 If the City fails to take either course of action and bring the Ordinance into compliance with State ADU Law, HCD must notify the City and may notify the California Office of the Attorney General that the City is in violation of State ADU Law.22

HCD appreciates the City efforts in the preparation and adoption of the Ordinance and welcomes the opportunity to assist the City in fully complying with State ADU Law. Please feel free to contact David Barboza, of our staff, at (916) 907-3002 or at [email protected].

6. Distance Between Buildings – The Ordinance has been amended to note that statewide exemption ADUs approved under Government Code Section 66323 are exempt from distance between buildings requirements. The Ordinance has also been amended to cite the code sections where specific requirements for distance between buildings are located.

7. Exemption from Development Standards – The Ordinance has been amended to note the full range of development standards that certain ADUs are exempt from under Government Code Section 66321.

8. Height Limits – The Ordinance has been amended to specifically cite height limits in accordance with Government Code Section 66321(b)(4).

9. Front Setbacks – The Ordinance has been amended to exempt ADUs meeting the criteria of Government Code Sections 66321 and 66323 from front setback requirements.

12. Architectural Standards – The Ordinance has been amended to remove reference to Section

17.50.130 Single-family dwellings and mobile homes – Development/Architectural Standards and replace the language with reference to objective architectural standards.

13. ADU Entry – The Ordinance has been amended to clarify that statewide exemption ADUs are not subject to the requirement for separate entry from the side or rear yard.

14. Consistency with General Plan and Zoning – The Ordinance has been amended to state that all ADUs, not just those that conform to the Ordinance, are subject to the protections or Government Code Section 66314(c).

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: January 28, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: Isaiah Medina, Assistant Planner
Jeffrey Jones, City Manager/Finance Director
Jake Raper, Project Coordinator/Planning Consultant
SUBJECT: Public Hearing –To Consider Adoption of a Resolution of the City of Arvin City Council Amending the General Plan by Adopting the 2024 Safety Element Incorporating 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and Adoption of Exemption Pursuant California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)

BACKGROUND
Arvin City Council on August 10, 2024, by Resolution No. 2021-55 adopted the 2020 Kern Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), Attachment 1 and 2 of the 2024 Safety Element Update, which incorporates implementation programs of the Safety Element and contains programs that implement its policies. The City of Arvin participates in the Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Planning and the HMP is updated on a five (5) year cycle.

The HMP will continue to be incorporated by reference in the Safety Element. The Safety Element and HMP are complementary documents that work together to achieve the goal to reduce the impacts on a community from a disaster.

The Planning Commission on December 17, 2024, conducted a public hearing and considered the update to the 2019 Safety Element. At the conclusion of the public hearing the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending the City Council adopt the 2024 Safety Element Update and to adopt the Noice of Exemption, Section 15061 (B)(3).

Adoption Required to Qualify Grant Funding:

An adopted, most recently adopted MJHMP, hazard mitigation plan is required as a condition of future funding for mitigation projects under multiple FEMA pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant programs. The MJHMP must be incorporated into the local jurisdiction Safety Element in order to qualify for pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant programs. The adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) describes the type, location, and extent of all natural hazards that can affect the jurisdiction; describe the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to these hazards; include a mitigation strategy that provides the jurisdiction’s blueprint for reducing the potential losses; and contains a plan maintenance process. The 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction (Arvin) Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) addresses the natural disasters that may affect the City of Arvin: Flood,

The HMP identifies community policies, actions, and tools for implementation to reduce the public’s exposure to these hazards, to minimize property damage and community disruption, and to reduce or avoid the costs of disaster relief.

Natural Mitigation Planning – Incorporating 2020 Kern MJHMP into Arvin Safety Element:

The Safety Element also includes policies on natural hazard mitigation planning that implement and supports the Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP), adopted by the Arvin City Council on August 10, 2024, by Resolution No. 2021-55. City Council adopted the updated Kem Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan Volume 1 and its Annex, as approved by FEMA and Cal OES, as the official mitigation plan for The City of Arvin. The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), and the FEMA Region IX officials have reviewed the updated MJHMP, and approved it contingent upon this official adoption by the participating governing body. The adoption of the MJHMP complies with the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act and to augment its emergency planning efforts by formally adopting the updated 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP).

The City of Arvin’s Safety Element is incorporating the 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) Volume 1 and its Annex for the City of Arvin, as approved by FEMA and Cal OES, as the official mitigation plan for The City of Arvin.

Safety Element Purpose:

The purpose of the Safety Element is to reduce the potential risk of death, injuries, property damage, and economic and social dislocation resulting from natural and human-induced hazards.

The Safety Element establishes preventative and responsive policies and programs to mitigate the potential impacts associated with hazards that may affect the City of Arvin. This Element along with the 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) addresses geologic and seismic hazards, flood hazards, fire hazards, hazardous materials, drought, domestic terrorism, and emergency preparedness and response planning.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND DETERMINATION:

The proposed 2024 Safety Element update implements the 2020 Kern County MultiJurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan. It is determined that the update of the 2024 Safety Element meets the definition and criteria of the Public Resources Code and CEQA Guidelines to be exempt from CEQA. This determination and recommendation is based upon the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b) (3) and finds that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment and are, therefore, exempt from CEQA, for the following reasons:
• The 2024 Safety Element incorporates the 2020 Arvin’s Kern County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and is following Government Code, Section 65032.

5.B.2
Attachment: 1-Staff Report 2024 Safety Element Update_012825 (Public Hearing: Resolution Amending General Plan - 2024 Safety Element) City Council January 28, 2025 – 2024 Safety Element Update Page 3 of 3 • These amendments will not have a significant effect or physical change on the environment, because it implements policy programs.

FISCAL CONSIDERATION:

An adopted Safety Element which incorporates the most recently adopted Multi Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan (JHMP), is required as a condition of future funding for mitigation projects under multiple FEMA pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant programs. Assembly Bill 2140 allows cities to be considered for additional state const-share on eligible Public Assistance project by adopting their current, FEMA-approved local hazard mitigation plans (LHMPs) into the Safet Element of their General Plan. This adoption, along with other requirements, makes the city eligible to be considered for part or all of its local-share costs on eligible Public Assistance projects to be provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). The MJHMP must be incorporated into the local jurisdiction Safety Element in order to qualify for pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant programs. Once adopted, City Staff will post the Safety Element and the 2020 Kern County Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan (Arvin) of the City’s web site.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to approve Resolution of the City of Arvin City Council Amending the General Plan by Adopting the 2024 Safety Element Incorporating 2020 Kern County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and Adoption of Exemption Pursuant California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
