PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADBURY, ORDINANCE NO. 383: CALIFORNIA, AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF TITLE IX (DEVELOPMENT CODE) OF THE BRADBURY MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO SENATE BILL 9 AND SECONDARY LIVING QUARTERS BACKGROUND: At the December 21, 2021 regular meeting, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 380 to comply with Senate Bill 9 (SB 9). As an urgency ordinance, it is to be replaced by a regular ordinance that is reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. Ordinance 383 is that regular ordinance. As a regular ordinance, a draft of the ordinance was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing at a Special Meeting held on May 23, 2022. The Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 22-304 to recommend approval of the proposed
ordinance.
Ordinance No. 383 was considered by the City Council for introduction at a public hearing at the June 21, 2022 regular meeting. However, after the Planning Commission's review, comments were received on the City's draft Housing Element, which had been circulated for public review at the beginning of May. Two changes were to be made to Ordinance No. 383
based on the input received on the draft Housing Element.
These changes would need to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The changes were to delete the occupancy limits on SROs and guest houses. Also, Mayor Lathrop pointed out two typographical errors and some confusing langue in Section
9.85.420(n).
