Our Vision
Where community grows and thrives
Our Mission
Together, we build meaningful connections and inspire lifelong curiosity This year, we unveiled our new five-year
strategic plan. Shaped by extensive community
input, our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan is both
responsive and forward-thinking, ensuring we
remain aligned with community priorities while
guiding meaningful progress in the years ahead.
The plan grounds us in our shared goals: We
listen to our communities and create responsive
services and spaces where everyone belongs;
connect people and build partnerships to
achieve shared goals; champion a culture of
continuous growth and discovery for all; and
engage our communities through meaningful
outreach and expanded access to resources.
The plan reaffirms our promise to answer the
diverse needs of our service district and to
ensure our libraries remain vibrant, relevant and
essential resources for all.
San Mateo County Libraries is poised to
continue our legacy as a trusted and important
community resource. With a new vision,
mission and goals that build on our strengths
while encouraging resourcefulness and
creativity, we remain focused on strengthening
connections, expanding access, and honoring
the public library traditions that have made us a
cornerstone of community life.
As we put this plan into action, we know our
continued success depends on the insights,
contributions and voices of the communities
we serve.
Our Strategic Plan

Boundless Possibilities
We champion a culture of continuous growth and
discovery for all.
We recognize our communities’ desire to
feel empowered and invest in the future.
To meet that need, we expanded our
financial literacy programs to offer expert
workshops on investing, retirement
planning and managing debt. Vital
English learning classes, as well as adult
literacy, reading and writing tutoring
We create moments for every stage
and phase of life to foster growth and
curiosity. Our programs connect reading
and stories to real-life experiences and
invite authors and illustrators into our
libraries. Some reach young readers
directly through school visits and reading
lists, while others connect to adults with
book signings and thoughtful discussions.
Our annual Summer Adventure initiative
reaches thousands of participants of
all ages, inspiring all to explore their
interests and celebrate progress along the
way. These shared experiences remind
us how powerful it is to feel seen and
motivate us to set new learning goals.
programs continue to grow. Our bilingual
citizenship classes and voter education
workshops reinforce our essential role in a
healthy democracy, ensuring everyone can
participate fully.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep
commitment to connection. From nurturing
a love of reading in our youngest patrons to
fostering togetherness and purpose among
older adults, we aim to create experiences
for everyone.
Learning, community,

discovery. I could go on
and on. Excellent library

Ageless Adventures
Our 55+ programs connect older adults with fresh
ways to engage and build community. Through
thoughtfully designed field trips and rewarding
social activities, we promote wellness and help
combat isolation. These moments offer meaningful
ways to connect and feel a part of something
beyond the routine of everyday life.
Many activities focus on staying active, developing
new skills and creating space to gather with others.
By offering small group workshops, wellness activities, tech help and more, we’re responding directly to the
interests and values expressed by local older adults.
They represent one of our fastest-growing
demographics. In response, we’re expanding a
range of programs that support active lifestyles,
lifelong curiosity and forming new friendships in a
welcoming, low-pressure environment. Our goal
is to offer consistent opportunities that help
individuals foster connections—to their library,
community and one another.

I’m recently retired, and the many library activities have helped me try new things and meet lots of nice people.

Branching Out
Our libraries are spaces for curiosity,
learning and new experiences, including
exploration of the natural world. This year,
we invited our communities to explore how
environmental issues connect to daily life,
health and neighborhoods.
Partnering with Canopy, a local nonprofit
dedicated to growing the urban tree
canopy, we brought climate-focused
discovery directly to our libraries. These
featured bilingual gardening workshops,
tree walks, climate justice presentations
and community listening sessions in
socioeconomically diverse settings.
Community members joined us to
explore outdoor spaces and deepen
their knowledge of how to care for the
environment. These offerings were tailored
to reflect the communities we serve and
designed to feel inviting and relevant.
Participants enjoyed engaging in important
dialogue about community priorities such
as climate resiliency and closing the “green
gap” in under-resourced areas.
Together, we created an inspiring
opportunity for hands-on learning and
meaningful conversations, ensuring
that diverse voices are celebrated in
our inclusive community efforts.

Partnerships in Action
We connect people and build partnerships to
achieve shared goals.
When we identify a community need that
our libraries can address, we act. This
year, we worked with San Mateo County
Health to add blood pressure monitors to
our collection. These kinds of practical,
human-centered resources reflect how
libraries have evolved—meeting needs
that range from health to warmth in
the winter, from job readiness to digital
People count on us to show up for
them where they live, work and play.
Expanding our presence helps us share
all the opportunities the library has to
offer. Through valuable partnerships and
convenient access to library experiences,
we open the doors to increased use and
relevance.
We build enriching connections that
strengthen our communities and have
allies in our efforts to offer essential
services and help people flourish. In
collaboration with our local school
districts, we combine efforts to reach
youth with proven strategies that
strengthen literacy, boost confidence and
foster a love of reading and learning.
access. Trusted partnerships that bridge
community needs allow everyone to
contribute what they do best, benefiting our
residents.
With every collaboration, we amplify our
impact. Our efforts, made stronger through
our dedicated partners, nurture individuals
through connection to resources and each
other, taking our communities to new
heights.
I am grateful the library
goes above and beyond
to include and support
everyone.

Community Home Runs
We show up in new and unexpected
places to build community
connections and library awareness.
Our enhanced outreach efforts
included delivering the library
experience to thousands at highprofile community events like Library Night with the San Francisco Giants
and the San Mateo County Fair.
In the spring, we teamed up with the
Giants and our Foundation to host
a pre-game festival. Fans explored
our Makermobile, browsed eBooks,
and took home memorable library
giveaways, including baseball-themed
books. During the game, the Giants
boosted our message about all that
modern libraries offer, reaching
30,000 fans with our public service
announcement on the big screen.
Closer to home, at the County Fair,
we created a vibrant reading garden
where visitors of all ages enjoyed a
carefully curated selection of books.
Wherever we go, our fun, interactive
activities and outreach efforts
result in smiles, inspiration and
engagement—reminding people that
the library is always within reach.

When residents reach out for help, we step up to
connect them to essential resources. Together
with partners like Coastside Hope, Community
Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA) and
the YMCA Community Resource Center, we help
families access resources connecting them to
food, rental assistance, diaper supplies, utility
relief and referrals for healthcare.
Navigating assistance and complex forms can feel
overwhelming for those in need. In the trusted,
familiar spaces of our libraries, community members
can easily access everyday library services and
the expertise of our dedicated partners.
We bring people together to address community
needs and aspirations. With tax preparation,
legal aid, digital skills training and emergency
food sources, our partners provide life-changing
services. By bridging community needs with
library services, we help people move toward
greater stability and well-being.

From books and early literacy initiatives
that set the stage for success to hands-on
makerspaces, 3D printers, podcasting kits,
memory labs and virtual reality headsets,
our libraries are equipped with tools
that inspire creativity and fuel invention.
We offer WiFi hotspots and laptops for
checkout, along with classes in digital
literacy and emerging technologies—
critical resources to ensure everyone has
the opportunity to keep pace in an everchanging world.
Connecting community members to the
resources that best meet their needs,
we provide personalized pathways to

We create moments that ignite discovery,

individuals at every stage of life. Libraries
are built on the promise of free and equal
access to information and knowledge.
With a wide range of services and access
points, we ensure access for all, removing
barriers and opening doors to opportunity.
Our library champions thrive by learning
alongside our communities. Exploration isn’t
just something we promote—it’s something
we live every day.
We also actively build awareness, because
the library shouldn’t be the community’s
best-kept secret. With the right tools, the
library continues to expand its reach—
welcoming new users, celebrating loyal
patrons and showing our entire community
that the library is for everyone.

incredible collection...

To deepen engagement and reach more people, we
unveiled a new multilingual ad campaign designed to
raise awareness of the vast range of library resources, events and activities. These ads highlighted classic
library services and our newest, most innovative
offerings. With catchy messaging like “From Books to
Bikes” and “From Tech Classes to Museum Passes,”
the ads made thousands of impressions.
We experimented with new strategies to reach
people, including through social media. Our bold,
colorful ads in English, Spanish and Mandarin
appeared online, on buses and in local stores.
In three months, the campaign drew close to 30,000
hits to our Welcome webpage, where visitors signed
up for library cards, discovered our programs and
accessed valuable resources.
This campaign marked an exciting shift in our
communication, and we remain committed to
finding creative, inclusive ways to invite more
people to the libraries.

Imagination Delivered
We’re making it easier than ever for
families to spark a love of reading
from day one and on every doorstep.
Through our partnership with Dolly
Parton’s Imagination Library, families
with children 0-5 can sign up to
receive free books in the mail
each month.
Since its launch, thousands of
children in San Mateo County have
been enrolled, turning the simple joy
of opening the mail into a powerful
literacy moment. By removing cost
and access barriers for young families,
we’re establishing a love of reading
and creating more opportunities
for every child to build a strong
foundation for learning.
The Imagination Library is made
possible thanks to the California
State Library and our nonprofit
partners, The Dollywood Foundation,
the Foundation for San Mateo
County Libraries and our local
Friends of the Library groups. Their
generous support allows us to reach
families where it matters most—
at home—providing the tools and
encouragement kids need to read,
grow and thrive.
“ There’s no more tangible, better way to improve literacy for children than to provide books, and to have those books not just at the library, but mailed directly to the child with their name on it.

literacy rates, greater civic participation,
increased job readiness and personal wellbeing that shape our thriving communities.
The library is the heart
of the community.
I love how much the
library staff care and all
the community events
hosted there.”

Rooted in Community
We listen to our community and create responsive
services and spaces where everyone belongs.

Destination Libraries
Our libraries are designed to build
community. They’re places where form
meets function, and people of all ages
can gather, imagine and learn.
We are always looking for new ways
to make our libraries both more
comfortable and captivating. Each time
someone enters our libraries to find a
comfy seat or the latest technology, it’s
thanks to the behind-the-scenes work
of our diligent staff. Building upgrades
and new spaces are also thanks to the
strong work of our dedicated and trusted
partners, including local cities and
Friends groups.
Most recently, we were excited to
refresh our Belmont Library with
updates inside and out, including fresh
paint, new furniture, plus advanced
meeting room technology and a
shining new makerspace. Together
with our community, we celebrated
the reopening with storytime, poetry,
cultural performances, maker activities
and more.
Through ongoing improvements and
exciting transformations, we’re always
inviting our communities to rediscover
the familiar, with each visit offering
something new.
“ We are so fortunate to have a space where all generations can come together, whether it’s reading a favorite book, exploring the makerspace, borrowing a musical instrument, or just being in community with one another.

Our library champions are at the heart of everything
we do. This year, staff across San Mateo County
Libraries leaned into growth, shared bold ideas and
fostered a culture of curiosity and continuous learning.
We celebrate our team—from long-time staff who
know our communities deeply to new team members
who bring fresh perspectives. Our workforce
intentionally reflects the diversity of the County,
and many are bilingual, creating connections that
feel personal, inclusive and welcoming.
Training and development remained a priority, with
staff stepping into new roles and investing time to
strengthen skills. Internal programs like Pitch It made space for reflection, new ideas and innovations.
This fun initiative encourages staff to take risks
and turn breakthrough ideas into valuable services.
Our volunteers, from Friends groups to community
advocates, play a vital role in extending our reach.
Their dedication ensures our libraries remain closely
connected to the people we serve.
Library Champions
“ It’s obvious the requirements to work for San Mateo County Libraries, in any capacity, are kindness, followed closely by patience, dedication and joy.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – PUBLIC HEARINGS
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRITTANY BENDIX, CONSULTING TOWN PLANNER
GERRY MARTIN, CONSULTING ASSISTANT PLANNER
DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2025
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ATHERTON MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.52
“ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS”
CEQA: The project is Categorically Exemption per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15305 relates to Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations, as the ordinance amendments would not result in any changes to land use or density. CEQA Guidelines 15268 (Ministerial Projects) and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council amend Chapter 17.52 “Accessory Dwelling Units” with the purpose of aligning the current standards with state legislation and providing greater clarity during development review.
BACKGROUND
In August of this year the Town initiated an effort to update its Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance to align with recent changes in state law. On September 24, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider updates to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance.
The staff report and other attachments for the September 24, 2025 Planning Commission meeting are included in Attachment 1. After discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the staff recommendation to conduct a public hearing to recommend that the City Council amend Chapter 17.52.
Alignment with State Law
Since 2019, the State of California has enacted several laws amending the Government Code Sections relating to regulations of Accessory Dwellings Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
Dwelling Units (JADUs). The most recent comprehensive update by the Town to align its zoning ordinance with state law occurred in 2024, when the City Council adopted amendments to comply with various bills, including Senate Bills (SB) 1030 and SB 3182, and Assembly Bills (AB) 2221, AB 2097, and AB 976. The 2024 update also included incentives to further ADU growth in an effort to meet the Town’s housing element goals by allowing ADUs to be built above detached garages and establishing a bonus ADU program for lots greater than two acres. Upon adoption of the ordinance the Town submitted its ADU program to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and did not receive any request for further changes.
Over the past year and a half, the state legislature has continued to adopt additional refinements to statutes governing the development of ADUs and JADUs. In the event that a local ordinance falls out of alignment with the state and does not continue to comply with new laws, any unique attributes of the local ordinance may become null and void and superseded by the state’s set of standards. This report recommends an update to the Town’s ADU ordinance to maintain its alignment with the following bills adopted by the state legislature in 2024 and 2025:
▪ SB 477 (2024)
▪ SB 1211 (2024)
▪ AB 1332 (2024)
▪ AB 2553 (2024)
▪ AB 462 (2025)
▪ SB 543 (2025)
Clarity During Development Review
As reported in the Town’s Annual Progress Report for 2024, the Planning Department reviewed sixty-two (62) ADU applications in 2024. In addition to actual permits reviewed by the Town, Planning Department staff fields numerous inquiries related to the construction of ADUs and JADUs from property owners, neighbors and prospective developers.
During the implementation of the Town’s 2024 ADU Ordinance, staff has encountered clarity issues with the adopted language specific to ADUs built above a detached garage and direction from HCD on interpreting exactly what “attachment” means for “attached” ADUs. Staff has included changes to these sections to address this confusion.
ANALYSIS
The following are summaries of the portions of recent legislation that are relevant to the proposed ADU ordinance update. Proposed changes to Chapter 17.52 of the Atherton Municipal Code (AMC) are provided in Attachment 2, which identifies changes in red text, and Attachment 3, which presents a clean version of the proposed text inside of the Draft City Council Ordinance.
Attachment 4 includes current state law as it relates to ADUs and JADUs, inclusive of AB 462 (2025) which was integrated into the Government Code as of October 10, 2025. SB 543 (2025) will go into effect on January 1, 2026 and therefore is not currently reflected in the Government Code. Attachment 5 includes the adopted language from SB 543 and identifies through tracked changes how the bill layers on top of existing state law.
The list below identifies the section areas in AMC 17.52 that include recommend changes. While this list addresses most sections in the chapter, many changes are minor or clerical in nature. The

Senate Bill 477
Renumbering of ADU and JADU Government Code Sections
This change simply renumbers and consolidates the sections of the Government Code that regulate ADUs and JADUs from sections 65852.150, 65852.2, 65852.22, 65852.23 and 65852.26 to sections 66310 through 66342. The Town’s ADU Ordinance references the Government Code sections with the purpose of clearly aligning with state law. This is especially useful as the state must review each local ADU ordinance and ensure that ADUs meeting state minimum standards are protected. The state refers to these types of ADUs as 66323 units, referring to the new section number. In response to SB 477 staff has updated Government Code references to match the new numbering adopted by the state.
Senate Bill 1211
Limitation on Local Objective Design and Development Standards This bill prohibits jurisdictions from imposing objective design and development standards on certain types of ADUs protected by the state in Government Code Section 66323(a). As noted above these state-exempt units are denoted in state documents, such as the 2025 ADU Handbook produced by HCD, as “66323 units.” The list below includes a general summary of what types of ADUs are considered 66323 units:
1. One JADU of 500 square-feet inside a single-family home.
2. One ADU converted from space within a single-family home or an accessory structure on a single-family lot, or one ADU attached to a single-family home that is 800 square feet or less.
3. One detached ADU on a single-family lot that is 800 square feet or less, meets height limits ranging from 16 to 20 feet depending on the site’s proximity to transit, and that provides 4-foot side and rear setbacks.
4. ADUs converted from space within an existing multifamily dwelling, not exceeding 25% of the existing number of multifamily units.
5. Detached ADUs on multifamily lots that meet height limits ranging from 16 to 20 feet depending on the site’s proximity to transit, and have 4-foot side and rear setbacks. On a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, no more than 8 or the number of existing
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
multifamily units, whichever is less, are allowed. On a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling, no more than 2 detached ADUs are allowed.
Changes to the Atherton ADU ordinance are proposed to address SB 1211 as the current AMC (Atherton Municipal Code) includes objective design and development standards that the Town can no longer apply to state-exempt ADUs. In the affected sections, staff has removed and added language to specify that state-exempt ADUs are not subject to local objective standards more restrictive than what is outlined in state law. This update includes changes in language that address the following requirements:
1. Entrance Requirements. Requirements that the exterior entrances to proposed ADUs face the interior, side, or rear of the lot may only apply to non-state exempt ADUs.
2. Heritage Tree Ordinance. The current AMC code standards exempt some, but not all of the 66323 units. Clarification was added to this section.
3. Privacy, Screening, and Landscaping. Landscape screening, screening design techniques, and the installation of 8-foot tall fencing along the full property line may only apply to nonstate exempt ADUs. The amendments clarify exemptions for 66323 units. Given the Town’s pattern of screening along a shared property line, staff has maintained the 8-foot tall fencing language as an option for property owners, as the AMC generally limits side and rear yard fencing to 6 feet maximum height.
4. Lighting Restrictions. Shielded or downlit exterior lights cannot be required on 66323 units. The amendments clarify this exemption.
5. Passageways and Internal Connections. This amendment clarifies that an internal connection between a state-exempt unit and an accessory building is allowed if the two buildings share a wall.
Number of Allowed Detached ADUs on Multifamily Lots
SB 1211 increases the number of allowable detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling from two detached ADUs to eight detached ADUs, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot.
Assembly Bill 1332
ADU Preapprovals
AB 1332 required every jurisdiction in California to establish a program by January 1, 2025 to review and preapprove ADU plans. In this program an architect can submit a general ADU plan, submit to a local jurisdiction for preliminary approval and then sell plans as “preapproved.” The availability of preapproved plans is considered a potential cost savings for a property owner.
However, the actual permit submittal would still require a site plan specific to the subject property and information specific to the site’s soils and foundation needs.
Local agencies are required to post the preapproved plans and applicant (designer) contact information on their website. Additionally, jurisdictions must approve or deny applications using the pre-approved plans within 30 days. Atherton has complied with AB 1332 and created such a program. The proposed amendments clarify the review and approval time limits set by this bill for permit applications that use preapproved plans.
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
Assembly Bill 2553
Major Transit Stop Definition
This bill revises the definition of “major transit stop” by increasing the frequency of service interval from 15 minutes to 20 minutes or less during peak commute periods. It also expands the definition to include bus rapid transit to the list of qualifying modes of transit under the definition.
By broadening the definition, this allows for more ADUs to take advantage of the increased height limit when in proximity to qualifying transit stops, making it feasible to build 2-story ADUs.
Assembly Bill 462
Certificate of Occupancy
This bill requires a local agency to issue a certificate of occupancy for an ADU even if the certificate of occupancy has not been issued for the primary dwelling, only under specific circumstances. A certificate of occupancy is a document issued by local California Building and Safety departments (the Building Department for Atherton) which certifies that a commercial space or newly constructed residential building has been inspected for compliance with the California Building Standards Code and local ordinances which govern construction and occupancy. The current language in the Atherton ADU ordinance allows a certificate of occupancy for an ADU to be issued only after one has been issued for the primary dwelling. Under AB 462, an ADU can receive a certificate of occupancy prior the primary dwelling if the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the county the jurisdiction is located in, and the primary residence was substantially damaged or destroyed due to an event related to the state of emergency proclamation. This does not immediately relate to or change Atherton’s current operations for permit review and construction; however it could come into effect should such an emergency proclamation be issued in the future for San Mateo County. This bill had not yet been signed at the time of the Planning Commission hearing on September 24, 2025, but was subsequently signed by the Governor on October 10, 2025. This bill went into effect immediately due to its emergency response nature.
Senate Bill 543
JADU Definition
This bill revises the definition of a JADU to clarify that the 500 square foot maximum applies specifically to “interior livable space” rather than including non-habitable areas. Staff is proposing to update the JADU definition in Atherton’s ADU ordinance in anticipation of this definition change.
ADU Review Periods
This bill also shortens ADU review periods by requiring jurisdictions to determine whether an application is complete within 15 business days of submittal. Once deemed complete, the application must be approved or denied within 60 days, or else the application is automatically deemed approved.
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
This bill also had not yet been signed at the time of the Planning Commission hearing on September 24, 2025, and was signed on October 10, 2025. However, this bill will not go into effect until January 1, 2026.
Review Clarity
ADUs above Detached Garages
The Town allows a detached ADU to be constructed above a detached garage and have a total height of up to 25 feet. These units are allowed by the Town to incentivize ADU construction with the intent that the entirety of the structure will adhere to the Town’s local setback requirements for accessory buildings. State-exempt units with reduced 4-foot setbacks are generally not eligible for this provision as they must exceed the state’s maximum height limits to locate above a garage.
However, staff has received inquiries seeking to combine the state and local standards. To address confusion at the counter, staff is proposing language clarifying that to use the increased height, the entire structure needs to meet Atherton accessory building and structure setbacks, inclusive of the garage, ADU, and stairwells.
Attached ADUs
Staff is proposing to add the phrase “structurally abuts” to the attached ADU definition to clarify that the ADU must share a structural wall with the primary dwelling. This addresses situations where applicants have been under the impression that an ADU qualifies as “attached” because it is connected to the primary dwelling by a breezeway, deck, or other structure that extends the building footprint.
Exemptions from Maximum Floor Area Requirements
State law asserts that there is no floor area limitation for the conversion of an existing nonconforming building to an ADU, regardless of that building’s permit history. The current Atherton ADU ordinance contains the phrase “existing legal nonconforming building.” Staff is proposing to remove the word “legal” from the phrase to clarify that the structure is not required to have been permitted initially. Note that this does not preclude the conversion or “legalization” of the unit from complying with health and safety standards and inspection by a Building official.
Additionally, since the Atherton ADU ordinance already specifies that there is no floor area limitation for conversion ADUs on single-family lots, staff is proposing to expand this language to address ADUs on multifamily lots, as the language is not currently in the code. Specifically, there are no floor area limitations for ADUs created through the conversion of non-livable space within multifamily dwellings, or for detached ADUs located on multifamily lots, consistent with state law. Staff is recommending these changes based on feedback provided from HCD during the review of ordinances submitted by other local jurisdictions.
Distinction between Basements and Stories
Atherton allows basements below ADUs, which are regulated under a separate section of the ADU ordinance; no changes are proposed for that section. However, staff recommends adding clarification that basements do not count toward the two-story limit for ADUs.
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
Entrance Requirements
The language in this section currently requires an exterior entrance facing the interior, side, or rear for attached ADUs, JADUs, and detached ADUs. As referenced earlier, staff is proposing to exempt 66323 units from this requirement, in alignment with state law. However, this requirement will continue to apply to non-exempt units.
Staff is proposing additional amendments to this section to clarify the intent during the 2024 ADU Ordinance update. The current language does not technically mandate that entries only face the interior of the lot; it only requires there be an entrance that complies. Staff has reviewed multiple ADUs designed with more than one entry, including one entry that satisfies this requirement and one entry that faces outward. To align with the intent of this requirement staff is proposing an amendment that clarifies that all entries must face the interior of the lot.
ADU Rental and Ownership
Staff has added language to align with California Government Code Section 66341, which requires jurisdictions to allow the sale of an ADU under certain conditions if the unit or primary dwelling was built or developed by a qualified nonprofit corporation. A reference to the related state code section has been added to this section of the Atherton ordinance. Additionally, per Section 66333(c)(1) of the California Government Code, JADUs may not be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the primary dwelling. This restriction remains in place for JADUs.
FINDINGS:
Chapter 17.18 of the AMC sets the process for zoning code amendments whereby the Planning Commission adopts a resolution with recommendations to the City Council. The Council will then approve, conditionally approve, or deny the zoning amendments. To approve the amendments the Council must find that the changes are consistent with the Town’s General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.
The proposed amendments allow the Town to be compliant with recent changes in state law related to the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) and address the following General Plan Goal, Objective, Policies and Program:
Housing Element Goal 3.720 Use Accessory Dwelling Units to meet a substantial portion of the Town’s moderate to very low-income
housing need.
Housing Element Objective 3.721 A. Realize the construction of 208 new accessory dwelling units planned for occupancy by moderate to
extremely low-income households in Atherton from
2023-2031.
Housing Element Policy 3.722 A. Actively promote the Accessory Dwelling Unit provision of the Atherton Zoning Ordinance by
encouraging and incentivizing homeowners and
November 19, 2025, City Council Staff Report
ADU Ordinance Amendments
developers to include attached or detached Accessory
Dwelling Units in existing or new homes. This will
include educating homeowners on rental alternatives
and the need for ADU reporting.
Housing Element Policy 3.762 B. The Town shall continue to encourage the production and availability of more affordable housing
through the development of new accessory dwelling
units, and private and public-school faculty and student housing.
Housing Element Program 3.812(A) Continue to encourage the development of ADUs and approve ADUs ministerially in conformance with State
Law provisions.
CONCLUSION:
To respond to the current state housing crisis, the State Legislature continues to pass bills designed to encourage the production of both ADUs and JADUs. Cities are expected to update their local ordinances to comply with the state legislation. If the Town fails to bring its local ordinance into conformance, applicants would be permitted to develop under the state legislation. Since the Town actively reviews ADU applications, adopting the local updates will allow the Town to continue to process applications with more clarity and compliance. The adoption of amendments to the ADU Ordinance will also assist the Town in fulfilling its Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNA) requirements for the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with the preparation of the draft Ordinance amendments are included within the annual Planning Department budget. The cost to implement the Ordinance will be paid for by the applicants of related development projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The project is Categorically Exemption per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15305 relates to Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations, as the ordinance amendments would not result in any changes to land use or density.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Public notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with this agenda item being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting in print and electronically.

It is the intent of the Legislature that an accessory dwelling unit ordinance adopted by a local agency has the effect of providing for the creation of accessory dwelling units and that provisions in this ordinance relating to matters including unit size, parking, fees, and other requirements, are not so arbitrary, excessive, or burdensome so as to unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners to create accessory dwelling units in zones in which they are authorized by local ordinance.
(Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 7, Sec. 20. (SB 477) Effective March 25, 2024.) Notwithstanding Section 65803, this chapter shall also apply to a charter city. (Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 7, Sec. 20. (SB 477) Effective March 25, 2024.) For purposes of this chapter:
(a) “Accessory dwelling unit” means an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes the following:
(1) An efficiency unit.
(2) A manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.

A junior accessory dwelling unit may include separate sanitation facilities, or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. (e) “Livable space” means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.
(f) “Living area” means the interior habitable area of a dwelling unit, including basements and attics, but does not include a garage or any accessory structure.

(j) “Passageway” means a pathway that is unobstructed clear to the sky and extends from a street to one entrance of the accessory dwelling unit.

The ordinance shall do all of the following:
(a) Designate areas within the jurisdiction of the local agency where accessory dwelling units may be permitted.
The designation of areas may be based on the adequacy of water and sewer services and the impact of accessory dwelling units on traffic flow and public safety.

(8) Local building code requirements that apply to detached dwellings, except that the construction of an accessory dwelling unit shall not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), unless the building official or enforcement agency of the local agency makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the accessory dwelling unit could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety.

(9) Approval by the local health officer where a private sewage disposal system is being used, if required. (10) (A) Parking requirements for accessory dwelling units shall not exceed one parking space per accessory dwelling unit or per bedroom, whichever is less. These spaces may be provided as tandem parking on a driveway. (B) Offstreet parking shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the local agency or through tandem parking, unless specific findings are made that parking in setback areas or tandem parking is not feasible based upon specific site or regional topographical or fire and life safety conditions. (C) This subparagraph shall not apply to an accessory dwelling unit that is described in Section 66322. (11) When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit or converted to an accessory dwelling unit, the local agency shall not require that those offstreet parking spaces be replaced. (12) Accessory dwelling units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence. The construction of an accessory dwelling unit shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (e) Require that a demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an accessory dwelling unit be reviewed with the application for the accessory dwelling unit and issued at the same time. (f) An accessory dwelling unit ordinance shall not require, and the applicant shall not be otherwise required, to provide written notice or post a placard for the demolition of a detached garage that is to be replaced with an accessory dwelling unit, unless the property is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
