The Town runs cyber security software across all devices to identify and process events each week to detect threats through machine learning, correlation, and improve
threat intelligence. This allows the Town to benefit from faster threat detection and simplify response. The Town transitioned in 2025 to a new tool that adds a layer of protection through its AI-driven predictive threatprevention model. The tool identifies and blocks malware, ransomware and other malicious activity
before execution with relying on traditional methods.
These technologies strengthen system monitoring,
enhance compliance posture, and safeguard both internal operations and third-party vendors. The tool performs
routine system analysis and provides a report card.

Response Times
In general, there are 3 types of Calls for Service from the Police Department. In order of priority:
High, Medium, and Low.
High Priority calls are in-progress events where persons or high-value property are in immediate danger and require a multiple officer response. This is a lights and siren response to a crime in progress, injury collision, or medical emergency.
Medium Priority calls are in-progress events without immediate danger to persons or property.
Multiple officers may be necessary for these calls. These calls take precedence over all other calls for service and require an immediate police response (non-lights and siren), but the incident may not be in progress. The most common medium priority calls are burglary, robbery, sexual assault, and residential burglary alarm activations. The latter is the most frequent call in Atherton.
Low Priority calls are other calls for service. Events that may no longer be in-progress, so immediate response is not as urgent. Normally requires a single officer. Officers may or may not be immediately dispatched to these calls. Low priority calls are dogs off leash the Park, parking violations, construction noise or activity, and follow-up police reports.
During the Reporting Period there were:
Priority Level Number of Calls Average Response Time Goal High 3 2:02 <4 minutes
Medium 317 7:03 <6 minutes
Low 251 5:58 <8 minutes
Response times are calculated from the time the call is dispatched until the time the officer arrives on the scene. The table below depicts the Department’s Medium Priority response times for the past 6 months.

Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRITTANY BENDIX, TOWN PLANNER
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2026
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO ADD CHAPTER 17.57, RELATING TO INCLUSIONARY HOUSING, TO THE ATHERTON MUNICIPAL CODE.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance and add Chapter 17.57 “Inclusionary Housing” to the Atherton Municipal Code with the purpose of implementing the goals and programs in the certified Atherton 2023-2031 Housing Element.
BACKGROUND
Since January 2025 the Town has held numerous public study sessions and hearings to discuss and consider recommendations for the Town’s inclusionary housing program and to provide feedback to staff. An Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) is a policy tool that the Town included in the 2023-2031 Housing Element update to ensure that new multifamily development will contribute to meeting state-mandated affordable housing requirements.
The City Council introduced and commented on the proposed ordinance at its meeting on January 21, 2026. During discussion, the Councilmembers considered the ordinance with specific attention given to its application to the Town’s multifamily zoning overlays and sites eligible for multifamily development under state laws such as SB 79 and SB 1123. The Council also considered how the proposed inclusionary housing program would interface with the state’s Density Bonus Law. Following the discussion, the Council voted unanimously to introduce the ordinance for 1st Reading with direction to staff to revise the inclusionary requirements as follows:
▪ Reduce the RM-10 inclusionary requirement from 20 percent to 14 percent. This reduction corresponds directly to the number of concessions or waivers that a project would automatically receive if the proposal also meets the eligibility requirements for the state’s density bonus program.
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance – 2nd Reading
February 18, 2026
▪ Set an in-lieu fee structure of $150 per square foot of net residential development for rental developments and $200 per square foot of net residential development for ownership developments.

Staff has included a revised ordinance at Attachment 1 that reflects a reduction in the inclusionary housing requirement for RM-10 properties from 20 percent to 14 percent (Section 17.57.040.A).
Additionally, the language in Section 17.57.050 relating to the fee methodology has changed to identify the “point of indifference” calculation method as the upper limit used to set fees. Using this methodology as the upper limit will facilitate the Council’s preference to adopt the in-lieu fee structure of $150 per square foot of net residential development for rental developments and $200 per square foot of net residential development for ownership developments. The alternative methodologies provided by the BAE analysis generated fees that are below Council’s direction.
The actual setting of the fee requires adoption of a resolution that will be publicly noticed for a future hearing.
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, as identified below:
Housing Element Goal 3.730 Facilitate the development of faculty and student housing on school campuses to meet a portion of the moderate and very low-income housing need identified for Atherton.
Housing Element Goal 3.760 Encourage special consideration to the maintenance and expansion of housing opportunities for handicapped and
low- and moderate-income homeless persons.
Housing Element Objective 3.761 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for citizens of modest means.
Housing Element Policy 3.795 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 Goal 3.770 Meet the needs of seniors, in light of the pending growth of this population in San Mateo County
Housing Element Policy 3.772 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for seniors with lower incomes.

Adopt a new inclusionary ordinance for multifamily
development and a housing fee for all new single-family housing construction and addition. Generate funds to
support an affordable ADU rental program (Program
3.812(B) and other affordable housing opportunities.
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 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. Legal advertisement of this hearing was published in The Almanac newspaper. Notice of this hearing was also mailed to all property owners within the Town. Information about the project is also disseminated via the Town’s electronic News Flash and Atherton Online. There are approximately 1,200 subscribers to the Town’s electronic News Flash publications. Subscribers include residents as well as stakeholders – to include, but be not limited to, media outlets, school districts, Menlo Park Fire District, service provides (water, power, and sewer), and regional elected officials.

DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. __
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ATHERTON ADDING CHAPTER 17.57, RELATING TO THE HOUSING ORDINANCE OF THE
ATHERTON MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, on or around May 5, 2025, the California Department of Housing and Community Development certified the Town of Atherton's 2023-2031 Housing Element as compliant with state law; and
WHEREAS, Program 3.814 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element identified the adoption of an inclusionary housing ordinance that would serve as a tool to facilitate the development of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the Town's inclusionary housing ordinance will create housing opportunities for essential workers such as teachers, healthcare workers, public sector and public safety employees to live in the community in which they work; and WHEREAS, the Town retained Bay Area Economics (BAE), Inc. to prepare a study that analyzed the fees necessary to support the construction of affordable housing, the feasibility of imposing such fees on new development, and how new market-rate units are filled with residents who spend in the local economy, thereby creating a demand for lower waged earners that need affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, there is a shortage of adequate, affordable housing extremely low, very low, lower and moderate income households in Atherton, as evidenced by the 2023-2031 Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) have assigned the Town a total housing need of 348 dwelling units, of which 94 are very low-income, 54 are low-income, 56 are moderate-income and 144 are above moderate-income; and
WHEREAS, the inclusionary ordinance codified in this Chapter will substantially advance the Town's legitimate interest in providing additional housing affordable to all income levels and dispersed throughout the Town because Inclusionary Units required by the ordinance codified in this Chapter, including both rental and ownership units, must be affordable to either Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income Households; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance codified in this Chapter is being adopted pursuant to the Town's police power authority to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Requiring affordable units within each development is consistent with the community's housing element goals of protecting the public welfare by fostering an adequate supply of housing for persons at all economic levels and maintaining both economic diversity and geographically dispersed affordable housing. Requiring builders of new market rate housing to provide some housing affordable to Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income Households is also reasonably related to the impacts of their projects, because:
1. Rising land prices have been a key factor in preventing development of new affordable housing. New market-rate housing uses available land and drives up the price of remaining land. New development without affordable units reduces the amount of land development opportunities available for the construction of affordable housing.
2. New residents of market-rate housing place demands on services provided by both public and private sectors, creating a demand for new employees. Some of these public and private sector employees needed to meet the needs of the new residents earn incomes only adequate to pay for affordable housing. Because affordable housing is in short supply in the Town, such employees may be forced to pay a disproportionate share of their incomes to live in adequate housing in the Town or commute ever increasing distances to their jobs from housing located outside the Town. These circumstances harm the Town's ability to attain employment and housing goals articulated in the Town's General Plan and place strains on the Town's ability to accept and service new market-rate housing development.
The City Council of the Town of Atherton does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The following Chapter and Sections are added to Title 17 of the Atherton Municipal Code and read as follows:
17.57.010 - Purpose.
The purposes of this chapter are to:
A. Enhance the public welfare by establishing policies to provide affordable housing, meet the town's regional share of housing needs, and implement the goals and objectives of the general plan and housing element.
B. The adoption of a citywide inclusionary housing program will also assist in alleviating the use of available residential land solely for the benefit of households that are able to afford market rate housing because such market-rate development will be required to contribute to the provision of affordable housing for the entire Atherton community, and will assist in alleviating the impacts of the service needs of households in new market-rate residential development by making additional affordable housing available.
C. Encourage the development of inclusionary units to be located upon the same site as market rate residential development to provide for integration of Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income households with households in market rate neighborhoods and to disperse inclusionary units throughout the Town where new residential development occurs.
D. To provide the residential development community with alternatives to construction of the inclusionary affordable units on the same site as the market rate residential development through a range of alternative options to constructing inclusionary units. Nothing in this Chapter shall deem or be used to deem the compliance options, including, but not limited to, the in lieu fee, as an ad hoc exaction, as a mandated fee required as a condition to developing property, or as a fee subject to the analysis in Building Industry Association of Central California v.

The provisions of this section shall apply to all residential projects resulting in the development of five or more dwelling units, except for any residential project exempt under Section 17.57.030.
Unless an alternative is approved as described in Section 17.57.070, residential projects shall provide the following:
A. For residential projects in the Multifamily Overlay District (RM-10), a minimum of fourteen percent (14%) of the dwelling units in the residential project shall be made available at affordable sales or rental prices to very low- or low-income households.

The in-lieu fee for a fractional unit shall be calculated as described in Section 17.57.050. If a fractional unit of 0.5 or greater (i.e. equal to or more than half a unit) is required, the applicant may elect to round up to the nearest whole number when calculating the required number of affordable units to be provided instead of paying the in-lieu fee.

B. Fee payment. In-lieu fees, if required, shall be paid prior to issuance of any building permit for a development project subject to this chapter or at a time otherwise specified by city council ordinance or resolution. All fees collected under this Section shall be deposited in the Affordable Housing Fund established pursuant to this Chapter.
C. Fee review. The town will review its in-lieu fees every four (4) years to determine how much it has collected and identify projects for uses for which the fees will be made. This review will ensure that in-lieu fees are used for their intended purpose and addressing the goals and programs set forth in the town's housing element. The town will endeavor to identify anticipated fees and amounts to complete such programs and projects. The study in support of the in-lieu fee shall be reviewed and updated every eight (8) years. The town will endeavor to conduct such update contemporaneously with each new housing element cycle.
17.57.060 - Provision of affordable units.
A. Standards for affordable units.
1. Affordable units shall be comparable in exterior appearance and overall quality of construction to market-rate units in the same housing development. Interior finishes and amenities must equal those provided in the base model market-rate units.
2. The number of bedrooms and the size of the affordable units shall be comparable to the average number of bedrooms in the market-rate units, except that in a singlefamily detached development, the decision-making body may allow smaller affordable units or duplex affordable units, if permitted in the zoning district, when this furthers the provision of onsite affordable units. The affordable units shall be reasonably dispersed within the residential project, with unit locations comparable to those of the market-rate units, or, subject to the approval of the planning and community environment director, may be clustered within the residential project when this furthers affordable housing opportunities.
3. The affordable units shall have the same amenities as the market rate units, including the same access to and enjoyment of common open space, parking, storage, and other facilities in the residential project.
B. Timing of construction. The affordable units shall be constructed in proportion to construction of the market-rate units. No building permit shall be issued for any market-rate unit unless a proportional number of building permits have been issued for affordable units, and no certificates of occupancy or final inspections shall be issued for any market-rate units unless a proportional number of certificates of occupancy or final inspections have been issued for affordable units. An alternative phasing plan may be approved as part of the approval of the affordable housing plan described in Section 17.57.080.
C. Continued affordability.
1. All affordable units provided under Section 17.57.040 shall be subject to a resale restriction, deed of trust, and/or regulatory agreement recorded against the property for execution by the city manager in a form approved by the city attorney, to ensure the continued affordability of the affordable units.
2. Notwithstanding Section 17.57.060(A), to be considered as affordable units under this chapter, all affordable units shall remain affordable to the targeted income group for 55 years.
3. Any household that occupies an affordable unit must occupy that unit as its principal residence, unless otherwise approved in writing by the city manager for rental to a third party for a limited period of time due to household hardship, as determined by the town.
4. No household may begin occupancy of an affordable unit until the household has been determined to be eligible to occupy that unit by the city manager.
5. Any rent regulatory agreement for rental units in a residential ownership project shall include provisions for sale of the affordable units and relocation benefits for tenants of the affordable units if the owner of the residential ownership project later determines to offer the affordable units in the residential project for sale to moderate income households at an affordable sales price.
17.57.070 - Alternative means of compliance.
The developer of a residential project may request an alternative means of compliance, as described in this section, as a component of the affordable housing plan required by Section
17.57.080.
A. In-Lieu Fee. The affordable housing requirement may be satisfied by the payment of a fee, pursuant to Section 17.57.050, and subject to consideration by the City Council.
B. Dedication of land in lieu of construction of affordable units. The provision of affordable units may be satisfied by the dedication of land in lieu of constructing the affordable units if the City Council determines that all of the following criteria have been met:
1. Marketable title to the site is transferred to the Town, or an affordable housing Developer approved by the Town, prior to the commencement of construction of residential project pursuant to an agreement between the Developer and the Town and such agreement is in the best interest of the Town.
2. The site has a General Plan designation that authorizes residential uses and is zoned for multifamily development at a density to accommodate at least the number of otherwise required affordable units, and conforms to the Town’s development standards.
3. The site is suitable for development of the Affordable Units in terms of configuration, physical characteristics, location, access, adjacent uses, and other relevant planning and development criteria including, but not limited to, factors such as the cost of construction or development arising from the nature, condition, or location of the site. In order to be eligible for the dedication of land use alternative, the minimum lot size for dedication is 2,400 square feet of land in order to feasibly facilitate future construction of housing.
4. Infrastructure to serve the dedicated site, including, but not limited to, streets and public utilities, must be available at the property line and have adequate capacity to serve the maximum allowable residential development pursuant to zoning regulations.
5. Environmental review of the site has been completed for the presence of hazardous materials and geological review for the presence of geological hazards and all such hazards are or will be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Town prior to acceptance of the site by the Town.
6. The value of the site upon the date of dedication is equal to the in lieu fee in effect at the date of dedication multiplied by the number of otherwise required Affordable Units within the Residential Project.
C. With respect to sites dedicated pursuant to Subsection B, the Town shall not be required to construct restricted income units on the site dedicated to the Town, but may sell, transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of the dedicated site in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter and state law. Any funds collected as the result of a sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition of sites dedicated to the Town shall be deposited into the Affordable Housing Fund and used in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.57.090.
D. In considering requests from a developer for alternative compliance to creating affordable units, the City Council’s consideration will include whether creating the affordable units would render the overall project financially infeasible under then current economic conditions. To that end, the developer may, at its option and at its own expense, provide its project financial information to an independent third-party housing/real estate analyst retained by the Town to conduct a financial feasibility analysis. The independent analysis will be conducted utilizing the applicant’s data, and any additional information that may be required of the developer to complete a thorough assessment. The independent analyst shall employ recognized best practices for the industry and render a detailed recommendation to the City Council to support its conclusions. Any of the developer’s sensitive proprietary information shall be redacted before making the report public to the extent permitted by law.
17.57.080 - Application and review procedures.
A. Affordable housing plan.
1. All residential projects proposing to provide affordable units under the provisions of Section 17.57.060 shall submit an affordable housing plan concurrently with the application for the first approval of the project. The affordable housing plan must include information demonstrating compliance with Section 17.57.060. The town shall provide an application form specifying the contents of the affordable housing plan. If an affordable housing plan is required, no application for a first approval of the project may be deemed complete until a complete affordable housing plan is submitted. The cost of reviewing any proposed alternative, including but not limited to the cost to the town of hiring a consultant to review the application, shall be borne by the applicant.
2. Any affordable housing plan shall be processed concurrently with all other permits required for the development project. Before approving the affordable housing plan, the decision-making body shall find that the affordable housing plan conforms to this chapter. A condition shall be attached to require recordation of an affordable housing agreement, as described in subsection (B) of this section below, prior to the approval of any final or parcel map or building permit for the development project.
3. The approved affordable housing plan may be amended prior to issuance of any building permit for the development project. A request for a minor modification of an approved affordable housing plan may be granted by the town planner if the modification is substantially in compliance with the original affordable housing plan and conditions of approval. Other modifications to the affordable housing plan shall be processed in the same manner as the original plan.
B. Affordable housing agreement.
1. Affordable housing agreements acceptable to the city manager and approved as to form by the city attorney shall be recorded against the project prior to approval of any final or parcel map, or issuance of any building permit, whichever occurs first, unless the project solely uses an alternative to housing construction.
2. The affordable housing agreement shall specify the number, type, location, size, and phasing of all affordable units, provisions for income certification and screening of potential purchasers or renters of units, and resale control mechanisms, including the financing of ongoing administrative and monitoring costs, consistent with the approved affordable housing plan and any affordable housing guidelines, as determined by the city manager.
3. The city council, by resolution, may establish fees for the ongoing administration and monitoring of the affordable units, which fees may be updated periodically, as required.
4. The Town Planner may adopt affordable housing guidelines to implement this chapter, and may update those guidelines periodically as required.
17.57.090 - Affordable housing fund.
A. All housing in-lieu fees or other funds collected under this chapter shall be deposited into the town’s affordable housing fund.
B. The monies in the affordable housing fund and all earnings from investment of the moneys in the affordable housing fund shall be expended exclusively to provide housing affordable to very low income, lower income, and moderate income households in the town, consistent with the goals and policies contained in the town’s housing element and for administration and compliance monitoring of the inclusionary housing program.
17.57.100 - Administrative relief.
A. As part of an application for the first approval of a residential project, a developer may request that the requirements of this chapter be waived, adjusted, or reduced by the city council, based upon a showing, supported by substantial evidence, that applying the requirements of this chapter would result in an unconstitutional taking of property or would result in any other unconstitutional result. Full compliance shall be required unless the applicant expressly demonstrates otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this section.
B. The request for a waiver, adjustment, or reduction shall set forth in detail the factual and legal basis for the request.
C. Any request for a waiver, adjustment, or reduction shall be reviewed and considered at the same time as the project application or any affordable housing plan.
D. The waiver, adjustment, or reduction may be approved only to the extent necessary to avoid an unconstitutional result, after adoption of written findings by the town, based on substantial evidence, supporting the determinations required by this section. If a waiver, adjustment, or reduction is granted, any change in the project may require a new application.
17.57.110 - Enforcement.
A. The town, including but not limited to the city attorney, shall be authorized to enforce the provisions of this chapter and all affordable housing agreements, regulatory
agreements, and all other covenants or restrictions placed on affordable units, by civil action and any other proceeding or method permitted by law.
B. Failure of any official or agency to fulfill the requirements of this chapter shall not excuse any developer or owner from the requirements of this chapter. No permit, license, map, or other approval or entitlement for a residential project shall be issued, including without limitation a final inspection or certificate of occupancy, until all applicable requirements of this chapter have been satisfied.
C. The remedies provided for in this section shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall not preclude the town from any other remedy or relief to which it otherwise would be entitled under law or equity

17.06.100(c)-(e) of the Atherton Municipal Code. Any decision by the town planner may be appealed to the planning commission. Any decision of the planning commission may be appealed to the city council. Failure to comply with the procedures in this Section is jurisdictional. The action of the city council is final on the date of decision and may not be further appealed. A person may seek judicial review of a final decision of the town in accordance with applicable sections of the California Government Code or Code of Civil Procedure.
SECTION 2: Severability. The City Council hereby declares it would have passed this Ordinance sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, and section by section, and does hereby declare that any provision in the Ordinance severable and, if for any reason any sentence, paragraph, or section of this Ordinance shall be held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3: Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be posted in at least three public places according to law and shall take effect and be in force from and after 30 days after its passage and adoption.
Introduced on the 21st day of January, 2026.
Passed and adopted as ordinance of the City Council of the Town of Atherton at a regular meeting thereof held on the 18th day of February, 2026 by the following vote:

Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT BARRON III, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/FINANCE
DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT THE ATTACHED BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION FOR THE FY 2025/26 BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing a Budget Amendment for the FY 2025/26 Budget.
BACKGROUND
Staff presented the Mid-Year budget review for the General Fund FY 2025/26 at its February 4, 2026 Study Session. Staff noted that the FY 2025/26 Report presents a high-level summary of the current-year expenditures, projected year-end results, and identifies notable issues that may affect the upcoming budget cycle. The budget reflected the Town’s positive financial outlook while maintaining City Council priorities. The FY 2025/26 Mid-Year Budget Report provided the Council with information about the status of the Town’s financial condition at the half-way point in the Fiscal Year.
At mid-year, total FY 2025/26 revenues are projected at $27.72m, representing an increase of $515,774 over the $27.2m in the Adopted Budget. This increase is primarily attributable to higherthan-anticipated ERAF revenues, charges for services, and other miscellaneous revenue. The FY 2025/26 Mid-Year Budget Report projected expenditures at $22.74m. This is an increase of $322,500.
The Council discussed revenue and expenditure summaries across all departments. The VLF in Lieu revenues continue to be closely monitored due to recurring shortfalls in State payments. For FY 2025/26, staff now anticipates a reduction of approximately $524,000 in VLF-related revenues. Staff advised that there were several areas that required a Mid-Year Budget Amendment totaling $322,500. Most items identified are one-time expenditures for computer equipment and system backup upgrades, operations facility upgrades for park rental use and tree maintenance/removal at the park; and one-time priority contract revenue adjustment due to

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – PUBLIC HEARINGS
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRITTANY BENDIX, TOWN PLANNER
TOM FORD, SENIOR PLANNER
DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2026
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE THAT
AMENDS THE ATHERTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADDRESS
POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UNDER SENATE BILL 79
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council add Chapter 17.59 “Regulations and Objective Standards for Development Projects Sought Pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.157 (SB 79)” and to amend Chapter 17.60 “Definitions” in the Atherton Municipal Code (AMC) with the purpose of establishing development standards in response to the state-enabled massing and density of Senate Bill 79.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill (SB) 79 is a new housing law that focuses on residential developments near transit stops. The bill requires that a housing development project, within a certain distance of a transitoriented development stop, be a permitted use on any site zoned for residential, mixed, or commercial development, if the development complies with requirements of SB 79. Projects submitted under SB 79 do not require review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), unless they trigger discretionary actions. The bill is effective July 1, 2026. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) oversees compliance with SB 79.
Review of the ordinance by HCD is required for the adoption of any local development standards.
HCD has up to 90 days to review the ordinance and make findings that determine if the ordinance is compliant with SB 79. To meet the HCD review timeframe, a local ordinance must be submitted to HCD by April 1, 2026, to ensure effectiveness before the law takes effect. HCD is not required to produce any guidance before the law takes effect. The text of SB 79 is provided for reference as Attachment 1.
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
On December 3, 2025, the City Council held a study session and received a presentation outlining the eligible sites within the Town and the requirements for a potential housing development pursuant to SB 79, which is now Government Code Section 65912.157. The presentation reviewed tier-specific development standards established under SB 79 based on transit frequency and intensity. These standards vary by transit-oriented development (TOD) stop type and distance from the stop, and include limited standards related to height, minimum density, minimum floor area ratio (FAR), and affordability requirements. Based on a one-quarter-mile distance from the Menlo Park Caltrain station, there are seven properties in Atherton that are eligible for SB 79, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: SB 79 Eligible Lots in Atherton
The state standards do not include requirements for setbacks, architectural design, vehicular circulation, parking, privacy screening, or landscaping. Therefore, these elements would be at the discretion of the applicant unless a local jurisdiction has existing standards that are applicable at the densities required by SB 79. At the study session City Council directed staff to pursue the enactment of an ordinance to address potential SB 79 projects and create standards for development in the Atherton Municipal Code (AMC). While the Town may adopt and enforce local development standards, including inclusionary zoning requirements, such standards may not, individually or collectively, preclude the achievement of the applicable SB 79 development standards. The remainder of this report presents efforts by staff to bring standards to the City Council for consideration. A link to the December 3, 2025, study session agenda, video and staff report is provided as Attachment 2.
ANALYSIS
This section of the report describes the development requirements set by SB 79, their applicability to eligible sites in Atherton, feedback from a public workshop and the Planning Commission, and an overview of the draft ordinance.
SB 79 Required Development Parameters
The requirements of SB 79 that staff must consider in the development of supplemental standards applicable to eligible sites include:
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
• Density. The Town is precluded by SB 79 from establishing a maximum density designation that is less than 120 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). If a proposed project does not meet a minimum density of 30 du/ac, it is ineligible to use any component of SB 79. • Height. The Town is precluded by SB 79 from establishing a maximum height that is any less than seventy-five (75) feet. To lower this height limit the Town must find ways to incentivize a developer to do so voluntarily.
• FAR. The Town is precluded by SB 79 from establishing a maximum floor area ratio (3.5) that is any less than 3.5. As a reminder, “floor area ratio” means the proportionality of a building’s floor area to its lot size. An FAR of 1 could mean a single-story building that covers an entire lot, or a two-story building that covers half of the lot. Similar to height, lowering the FAR of a project would necessitate incentives by the Town. • Unit Size. SB 79 directs that the average total floor area of the proposed units in a project shall not exceed 1,750 net habitable square feet.1 There is no maximum unit size, only the requirement that the average of all units in the project do not exceed this amount.
Additionally, SB 79 does not require that the Town facilitate this average unit size, it is a tool used by the state to encourage family-sized units or a mix of units (studios vs. three or more bedrooms).
• Affordability. Any development of 10 units or less is exempt from the affordability requirements of SB 79, however, local requirements would still apply. SB 79 directs that a proposed project includes housing for lower income households by complying with one of the following requirements:
o At least 7 percent of the total units are dedicated to extremely low-income households, or
o At least 10 percent of the total units are dedicated to very low-income households, or
o At least 13 percent of the total units are dedicated to lower income households.
On January 21, 2026, the Council introduced and held a first reading on the Town’s first inclusionary housing ordinance that would set the local inclusionary housing requirement for an SB 79 project at 20 percent, dedicated to moderate income households or lower. A project that meets the SB 79 requirement listed above and provides any additional units needed to meet the Town’s 20 percent requirement would comply. Although affordability does not inherently influence the building mass in a global manner, SB 79 does grant concessions from local development standards on a project-by-project basis.
Considering the requirements of SB 79 discussed above, the development potential for the seven SB 79 eligible lots in Atherton is shown in Table A.
1 “Net habitable square footage” is defined in SB 79 to mean the finished and heated floor area fully enclosed by the inside surface of walls, windows, door, and partitions, and having a headroom of at least six and one-half feet, including working, living, eating, cooking, sleeping, stair, hall, service, and storage areas, but excluding garages, carports, parking spaces, cellars, half-stories, and unfinished attics and basements.

SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
Table A: Attributes and Development Potential for SB 79 Eligible Lots Development Parameters Applied to Atherton
To understand the shape and form of potential development on Atherton SB 79-qualifying lots, staff used modeling exercises and identified four specific development components that the Town could use as tools to control the resulting built form. Staff then shared these models and highlighted the tools at a public workshop held on January 20, 2026. The following are the standards that were used to set and test the modeling parameters:
• Density. 120 du/ac density was set as the absolute maximum. The Town could consider raising this amount as an incentive to comply with more restrictive height and massing standards; however, a project could also accomplish that effort through the state’s density bonus project. Therefore, staff has not recommended raising the maximum density. • Height. 75 feet was set as an absolute maximum for initial models. The Town could raise this amount, in exchange for the lowering of building heights where they are adjacent to property lines shared with single-family neighbors.
• FAR. A 3.5 FAR was set as the absolute maximum. The Town could consider raising this amount, in exchange for the lowering of building heights or providing greater setbacks along property lines shared with single-family neighbors. • Setbacks. Setback standards provide the greatest flexibility, because they are not regulated by SB 79 and can be maximized to buffer development from adjacent R1-A and R1-B lots.
Additionally, the Town can establish setback standards according to lot size with one set of standards applying to lots less than one half acre (99 Victoria Lane) and the other set for lots larger than one-half acre.
Staff examined a series of alternatives that modeled potential development envelopes guided by the interplay of the above components. Given the Town’s existing standards for RM-40, staff first applied the RM-40’s 40-foot setback on all sides to test the FAR and height. However, the 40-foot setbacks pushed the massing above the 75-foot height limit. This is demonstrated in Figure 2.
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
Figure 2: Modeling RM-40 Setback Standards
To fit below the height limit, staff then tested models that located the built form closer towards a street frontage, while also lowering the side and rear setbacks. An example of this approach, which guided a large part of the community workshop, is illustrated in Figure 3, using a one-acre lot as an example. Please note that the models illustrate maximum development envelope and not a potential building.
Figure 3: Modeling Development Potential
This model in Figures 2 and 3 is based on a real property, 110 Glenwood, which is a useful test case given its regularized shape and location as a corner lot at the intersection of Laurel Street and Glenwood Avenue. Staff also modeled 99 Victoria, given it is the smallest lot and its corner location presents on-site circulation challenges. Using a corner lot with two street-facing frontages
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
as an example, the alternative potential development envelopes shown in Figure 3 use differing front and side/rear setbacks while accommodating the SB 79 mandated FAR and are able to be accommodated within a 75-foot height limit.
As staff proceeded with the examination of the above controls, consideration was also given to the following development issues:
• Street Frontage. A primary reason for SB 79 is to implement transit-oriented residential development that enables greater potential for pedestrian access. Without street frontage standards, developers may apply their own choice of street frontage improvements which could result in an incongruous streetscape and pedestrian realm. Therefore, staff has applied minimum requirements for street frontages to include sidewalks widths that will accommodate lighting and street trees. The Town is in the process of updating the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan with recommended sidewalk improvements at the frontages of SB 79 lots.
• Site Access. Consideration was given to adequate access points and dimensional requirements for service vehicles and resident vehicles. In the initial stages of developing the draft development standards, Town staff met with the Fire Marshall to gain input. • Parking. Staff anticipates that the scale of development will result in underground or structured parking to accommodate the allowed density. However, the standards also include setback requirements to address above-grade surface parking.
Initial Public Feedback
The public workshop was held on January 20, 2026, to receive feedback on the modeling and contribute to the development of SB 79 additional standards. The workshop was conducted in a hybrid format, with both Zoom and in-person participation, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Approximately 10 members of the public attended in person and six attended via Zoom.
The presentation was divided into three sections. The first section provided the project schedule key milestones for achieving HCD review and approval in advance of the enactment of SB 79 on July 1, 2026, and an overview of the SB 79-related development implications for building heights, minimum residential density, and floor area.
The second section of the workshop used diagrams to illustrate how development would be implemented under the SB 79 standards for height and base FAR. As noted above, two parcels, 110 Glenwood and 99 Victoria were used as examples due to their unique shape, size, and orientation within Atherton. The final section of the presentation provided alternative development scenarios with alternative setback dimensions and the corresponding development implications for massing, building height, and distribution of the FAR-required buildout. The illustrations were used to prompt workshop participants to consider and discuss which controlling features are more important: Setbacks, Building Height or FAR.
Workshop participants understood the importance of maximizing setbacks for multiple reasons, including privacy and adherence to the development character of Atherton. However, there was no measurable support for achieving greater setbacks if it could only be achieved by allowing greater height or allowable floor area as incentives. Therefore, as staff continued to prepare the
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
draft development standards after the workshop, the methodology for meeting State-mandated development requirements for density, height, and FAR, was to establish the greatest possible setback distances, while ensuring adequate pedestrian-oriented frontages.
Additional concerns expressed by workshop participants follow, with an updated response from staff in italics.
• Would the setbacks be reduced on smaller parcels to accommodate the mandated FAR? Yes. The draft ordinance establishes differing setback standards based on lot sizes – lots
0.5 acres or smaller have different setback requirements than lots that are larger than 0.5 acres.
• Is there a possibility that in the future, more lots would be eligible for SB 79 if BRT improvements are implemented on El Camino Real?
Yes. That would become a possibility if there is a dedicated transit lane. That decision, if made by SamTrans, would include a long lead time and give the Town more time to address changes to the AMC specific to the expansion of SB 79 to a broader extent of El Camino Real.
• How would SB 79 projects count towards the Housing Element? Affordable dwelling units could count towards the Town’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) for the current or future cycles. However, for a project to count towards the Town’s RHNA requirement, there must be an issued building permit.
During the workshop, staff shared the anticipated hearing schedule for this effort, consistent with what has been outlined in this report. Members of the public are encouraged to contact staff throughout this process to provide rolling feedback.

Planning Commission Direction
The draft ordinance was reviewed and considered by the Planning Commission at its January 28, 2026, meeting. A link to the staff report is provided as Attachment 3. During the discussion of the item Commissioners understood staff’s approach to developing standards with the prioritization of maximum setbacks. However, the Commission discussed that the required allocation of open space could be overly permissive and lead to privacy and noise conflicts with adjacent R1 development. Ultimately, Commissioners Polito, Tonelli, Leugers and Levison voted to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed standards and directed staff to further evaluate the proposed open space standards, including potential privacy impacts on adjacent residential properties, overall project feasibility, and a review of comparable open space development practices. Commissioner Seabolt voted against the recommendation with concerns relating to the allowance of any open space. An overview of open space standards analysis is provided in the “Proposed Development Standards” section below.
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
Proposed Development Standards
Since the January 28, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, staff has revised the draft ordinance to incorporate Commissioner feedback, including revisions to the open space standards and has made minor refinements for consistency and clarification. This section lists the development standards included in staff’s proposed amendments to the Atherton Municipal Code (AMC) and provides a summary or explanation for each requirement. The full text of each standard is provided at Attachment 4. These standards are based on the preliminary analysis and standards set by the state, with consideration of community concerns and comments received at the community workshop. Staff prepared the draft ordinance, which is provided as Attachment 4. • Purpose. A preliminary section asserts the locational and approval regulatory requirements set by the state, under which Chapter 17.59 was prepared. Since the Planning Commission meeting staff has added language to assert this section only applies to SB 79 qualifying lots that are located within one-quarter (¼) mile of the Menlo Park Caltrain station. If the applicability of SB 79 broadens, the Town will need to revisit standards accordingly.
• Characteristics of the District. This section provides the minimum development standards set by the state, including building density and affordable housing requirements for proposed development.
• Height. The maximum height is 75 feet, in line with State-mandated SB 79 requirements.
But applies the Town’s methodology for the measurement of height and treatment of dormers.
• Setbacks. Front setbacks are fifteen feet and include frontage requirements for improvements to facilitate pedestrian circulation. For lots 0.5 acres or smaller, the side and rear setbacks are 25 feet; for lots larger than 0.5 acres, the side and rear setbacks are 40 feet. These dimensions are necessary to ensure the FAR allowance is not pushed above the height limit. Additionally, staff revised this section to require all non-impervious areas between the sidewalk and a building frontage to be landscaped and maintained. • FAR. The maximum floor area ratio is 3.5, in line with State-mandated SB 79 requirements.
• Site Design. This section of the Chapter provides standards for vehicle access, including dimensions for ingress and egress to below grade parking, driveway dimensions, and the visibility triangle; pedestrian access, including pathways and access to building entries; and streetscape design, including minimum requirements for sidewalks, streetlighting and street trees. This section is built from the Town’s existing standards for multifamily development and modified to address the more intense scale of development.
Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff has adjusted the required distance between the location of any vehicle entries and street intersections from 200 feet to a minimum of one hundred (100) feet. This adjustment reflects the practical implementation of this standard given the size of the lots currently subject to SB 79. • Open Space Design. This section establishes development and design standards for open space, a common standard for multifamily development. There are two types of open space; common open space is shared by residents of a development, and private open space is specifically tied to individual dwelling units. Standards for both categories address issues including privacy, setback distances, landscape screening, lighting, and the
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
permitted locations of balconies and decks. The Town does not currently apply open space requirements to other zoning districts, as required setbacks typically provide front, side, and rear yard areas that accommodate open space needs. Based on direction from the Planning Commission at its January 28, 2026 meeting, staff analyzed and revised this section.
To evaluate the open space requirement, staff conducted research into the open space standards employed by other jurisdictions, including Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo, and Campbell. While each jurisdiction applies a different approach to open space requirements, these standards all take an approach that requires a minimum amount and generally seek to balance resident livability with development feasibility at higher densities. Open space requirements for these jurisdictions are provided in Table B, below.
Table B: Open Space Minimums in Neighboring Communities Jurisdiction Open Space Minimum
Menlo Park Twenty-five (25) percent of lot area, includes setbacks, walkways, and landscape areas.
Redwood City Three hundred (300) square feet per unit, open space must be usable.
San Mateo Grants a floor area ratio (FAR) bonus up to a maximum of 0.3 in exchange for open space features such as landscaping and recreation spaces.
Campbell Ten (10) percent of net lot area.
Staff also re-evaluated the approach of setting a maximum amount of open space rather than a minimum. Staff found that while minimum usable open space requirements are common to ensure support for resident well-being, maximum open space limits are not typical in high-density zoning given existing market and regulatory incentives to maximize the floor area of the units. The proposed development standards presented in Attachment 4 reflect this direction.
Finally, staff re-evaluated the proposed standards related to privacy impacts on neighbors and upper-level setback distances for sightline and noise impacts. These were determined to be realistic and would not affect project feasibility given the setbacks required from shared property lines.
Following this analysis and evaluation, staff determined that an approach to providing open space as a percentage of lot area can provide sufficient common and private open space proportional to the scale of development. This approach maintains development feasibility and addresses the Planning Commission’s concerns that the amount of open space would increase the size of a project. The revised draft ordinance establishes a minimum open space requirement of ten (10) percent of the “net lot area.” This is a change from the draft ordinance reviewed by the Planning Commission that directly tied the provision of open space to a square-foot-minimum for each proposed unit.
Staff also recommends that AMC Chapter 17.60 be amended to include definitions for:
o “Open Space”
o “Common Open Space”
o “Private Open Space”
• Landscaping. This section provides standards for the location and planting of landscape materials and links landscape screening adjacent to R1 lot lines to the existing zoning chapter 17.50.
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
• Façade Organization. The potential development associated with SB 79 lots will implement buildings that have the potential to be taller, broader or both when compared to the existing built form of the Town. This section of the proposed standards provides rudimentary rules for the façade organization of taller buildings. Specifically, standards are provided for the vertical and horizontal organization of building facades. These standards do not attempt to impose a design style on proposed development, but rather, provide organizational order to building façades. Horizontal standards implement a base, middle, and top for proposed buildings. Vertical standards define a system of modules and bays across a building façade.
• Building Massing. This section provides standards and massing features to regulate the perceived bulk of proposed buildings. Standards are provided for the maximum length of a building façade and the tools for modulating the length. Allowed features to modulate the primary mass include building projections, building recesses, upper level step backs, and tower elements, which are allowed to be implemented on building corners or midfaçade. Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff has revised this standard to allow massing features to encroach into the required setback up to a maximum of five (5) feet.
This clarifies that the primary building façade shall be maintained at the setback line. • Entries and Openings. This section provides standards for residential entries, either to individual dwellings or to a shared lobby entrance. The standards are based on the Town’s existing RM-20 and RM-40 standards. Additional standards are also provided for window openings and privacy requirements for windows on upper floors. Since the Planning Commission meeting, Staff has revised this standard to allow required frontage typologies to encroach into the required setback up to a maximum of five (5) feet. Staff has also revised this standard to require a common entry to provide access to all residential units located above the ground floor.
Previously, the standards required all units to be accessed from a common entry. This amendment clarifies that ground-floor units may be accessed from individual, private entries. The provision of individual entries at the ground level can help to articulate a more active pedestrian-scaled frontage at the ground floor level.
Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff revised the upper-floor window requirements to include translucent glazing as an option for achieving a fifty-four-inch minimum sill height for all windows facing an adjacent R-1 lots. • Facade Materials. This section lists prohibited materials and is similar to regulations in RM-20 and RM-40 regulations. Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff amended this section to provide that any change in material on a building’s façade must occur at an interior corner.
• Roof Details. This section provides standards to regulate roof feature and equipment screening and is similar to regulations in RM-20 and RM-40 regulations. • Site Lighting. This section provides standards for the lighting of landscape and other site areas and is similar to regulations in RM-20 and RM-40 regulations. • Accessory Buildings and Structures. This section is similar to regulations in RM-20 and RM-40 regulations, although specific dimensions are recalibrated to SB 79 development.
Standards are provided for location of accessory structures and specific requirements for trash and recycling enclosures as well as mailboxes.
February 18, 2026, City Council Staff Report
SB 79 Ordinance Amendments
• Parking. This section provides standards for the design of parking garages, bicycle parking requirements, and requirements for Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) analysis.
Similar to the RM-20 and RM-40 requirements, incentives are provided to place parking underground. Since the Planning Commission meeting, staff amended the bicycle parking requirements to align with Green Building Code requirements.
Additionally, to ensure that density assignments are based on a reasonable assumption for developable lot area, especially for flag lots, an amendment to AMC Section 17.60 would add a definition for net lot area and net habitable square feet.
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, as identified below:
Housing Element Goal 3.710 Facilitate the private development of housing to meet the above moderate income housing need identified for
Atherton.
Housing Element Objective 3.711 Realize the construction of approximately 150 net new housing units in the above-moderate income category in
Atherton from 2023-2031.
Housing Element Policy 3.712 Within the limitations of the private housing market the Town shall work with private developers to encourage
new housing development.
Housing Element Goal 3.760 Encourage special consideration to the maintenance and expansion of housing opportunities for handicapped and
low- and moderate-income homeless persons.
Housing Element Objective 3.761 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for citizens of modest means.
Housing Element Goal 3.770 Meet the needs of seniors, in light of the pending growth of this population in San Mateo County
Housing Element Policy 3.772 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for seniors with lower incomes.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction and feedback at this meeting, which will be incorporated into the ordinance prior to the second reading. Following incorporation of Council direction, staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance amending the Atherton Municipal Code by adding Chapter 17.59 and amending Chapter 17.60 to establish development standards consistent with Senate Bill 79 and applicable State law.

CHAPTER 4.1.5. Transit-Oriented Development
65912.155. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California faces a housing shortage both acute and chronic, particularly in areas with access to robust public transit infrastructure.
(b) Creating ownership opportunities can be an effective long-term strategy for building wealth and can create a path to financial security.
(c) Building more homes near transit access reduces housing and transportation costs for California families, and promotes environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduced traffic congestion. (d) Public transit systems require sustainable funding to provide reliable service, especially in areas experiencing increased density and ridership. The state does not invest in public transit service to the same degree as it does in roads, and the state funds a smaller proportion of the state’s major transit agencies’ operations costs than other states with comparable systems. Transit systems in other countries derive significant revenue from transitoriented development at and near their stations. 65912.156. For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions apply:

requirements of this section.
65912.162. The Legislature finds and declares that the state faces a housing crisis of availability and affordability, in large part due to a severe shortage of housing, and solving the housing crisis therefore requires a multifaceted, statewide approach, including, but not limited to, encouraging an increase in the overall supply of housing, encouraging the development of housing that is affordable to households at all income levels, removing barriers to housing production, expanding homeownership opportunities, and expanding the availability of rental housing, and is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this chapter applies to all cities, including charter cities.
SEC. 2. The provisions of this act are severable. If any provision of this act or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
SEC. 3. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act or because costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
