3. 012726 - E4a1 ADU update Attachment 1 Exhibit A final code.pdf Fiscal Impact
: Consistency with State law requires that the City allow ADU’s on multi-family zoned properties prior to buildout. ADU’s, per State law, pay no or reduced development impact fees. Allowing ADUs prior to, and in many cases instead of, the construction of primary units will result in less funds paid toward the City’s Development Impact Fees which may impact our ability to provide services and infrastructure. Under existing State law, the City does not have any alternatives to this requirement Recommendation
: Council adopt on second reading, by title only, an ordinance amending title 9, Planning & Zoning, to revise Chapter 5, Accessory Dwelling Units, for consistency with state law and clarity related to development standards, and determining this ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
