DATE: June 17, 2025
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 394: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BRADBURY AMENDING THE BRADBURY MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING FENCE AND WALL HEIGHTS ON RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTIES
Attachment: Ordinance No. 394
RECOMMENDATION
At the May 20, 2025, regular meeting, the City Council reviewed and introduced Ordinance No. 394 to amend Chapter 100 of the Development Code regulations to increase the maximum height for perimeter fences and walls to eight (8) feet in the A-5 zones for the Bradbury Estate properties to enhance security and for the entry gates and columns to be allowed an additional two (2) feet to enhance the design It is recommended that the City Council adopt, waive the reading in full, and authorize the reading by title only of Ordinance No. 394.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission was asked by the City Council to discuss increasing the maximum height for perimeter fences and walls to eight (8) feet in the A-5 zones, and in the A-1 zones on Lemon Avenue adjacent to and immediately to the east and west of Barranca Road, for the Bradbury Estate properties to enhance security, and it was suggested that entry gates and columns be allowed an additional two (2) feet to enhance the design.
At the March 26, 2025, regular Planning Commission meeting, the Commission discussed the request and reviewed a draft Ordinance. The Commission agreed that the increases Ordinance No. 394 - Adoption
June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 2
in height are appropriate and adopted Resolution No. PC 25-328 to recommend that the City Council approve and adopt such an ordinance.
At the May 20, 2025, regular meeting, the City Council reviewed a proposed Ordinance No. 394. It was suggested and discussed that the Ordinance should not include the A-1 zoned properties on Lemon Avenue adjacent to and immediately to the east and west of Barranca Road because eight (8) foot tall fences and walls on those two properties would be inconsistent with the other properties on Lemon Avenue, including the properties across the street in the City of Monrovia. Therefore, Ordinance No. 394 was introduced without the inclusion of the A-1 zoned properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
It was recommended that Ordinance No. 394 is exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect, the activity is not subject to CEQA, and also pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines as the ordinance would adopt policy affecting minor land use features and will not change the land use, density, or otherwise have effects on the environment. The ordinance is not for any specific project and therefore will not impact any environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, will not create cumulative impacts, or impacts to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, or historical resources.
FINDINGS
The City Council found that the ordinance affects minor land use features without changing any density, intensity, or allowed uses, and will not have effects on the environment and is exempt in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is consistent with the City's General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt, waive the reading in full, and authorize the reading by title only of Ordinance No. 394.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADBURY DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 9.100.040 of the Bradbury Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 9.100.040. Fences, walls, windscreens and hedge height limitations.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no court fence, hedge, yard wall or retaining wall shall be erected, constructed or maintained, or permitted to be erected, constructed or maintained, unless it conforms with the following regulations:
(1) Height abutting public or private street. Hedges, yard walls and retaining walls within the yard abutting public or private streets shall not exceed three feet in height. Fences within the yard abutting public or private streets shall not exceed six feet in height. Fences may be located on top of yard walls or retaining walls within the yards abutting public or private street areas, provided the height of the yard wall or retaining wall does not exceed three feet and the total combined height thereof does not exceed six feet.
(2) Height not abutting street. Fences, hedges, yard walls and retaining walls within the required rear yard shall not exceed six feet in height. (3) Court fences. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, a tennis, handball, badminton, volleyball, racquetball and sport court may be enclosed by a wire fence not exceeding 12 feet in height; provided that no part of such court fence shall be constructed within the required side yard or within 25 feet of any street or alley.
(4) Windscreens. Windscreens of plastic, canvas or similar material may be attached to the fence enclosing a tennis court, provided such windscreens do not extend to a height greater than six feet above the finished surface of the court. However, where the entire tennis court is located 25 feet or more from all property lines, the windscreens may extend to the height of the court fence.
(5) Entrance gate height. Within the agricultural/residential zones open iron type gates may be installed, provided that the height of such gates does not exceed seven feet and provided that such gates are located at least 20 feet from the closest property line or street easement line. For properties within the A-S zone, open iron type gates and the columns to which they are attached may be installed up to a height that does not exceed two feet higher than the adjacent fence provided that such gates and columns are located at least 25 feet from the closest property line or street easement line.
(6) Fence height modification. The Planning Commission may modify the maximum height of fences and gates in the A-1, A-2 and A-5 zones which do not entirely conform to the standards and criteria for fences and gates provided that it makes all of the findings set forth in Section
9.97.130.
(7) Fence height exceptions. Fence heights in the following locations may exceed six feet, but shall not exceed eight feet in height:
a. Rear yards on the south side of Gardi Street; and
b. Properties within the A-5 zone.
Section 2. This Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because the Code Amendments will have no significant effect on the environment, and, pursuant to Section 15305, the modifications authorized hereby, qualify as minor alterations in land use limitations.
Section 3. If any provision of this Ordinance is held to be unconstitutional, it is the intent of the City Council that such portion of this Ordinance be severable from the remainder and that the remainder be given full force and effect.
Section 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.

BRADBURY DESIGNATING FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Ordinance No. 396
2) Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zones, Bradbury
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, adopt, waive reading in full, and authorize reading by title only of Ordinance No. 396.
BACKGROUND
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) recently updated its Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps as part of its mandate to identify areas within the State to heightened fire risks. These maps categorize zones based on fire hazard severity, considering factors such as fuel load, climate, winds, and terrain. The updated maps aim to inform state, regional, and local planning efforts to mitigate wildfire risks and enhance public safety.
The City of Bradbury is in a region that has experienced significant wildfire activity in recent decades, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to safeguard residents, infrastructure, and natural resources. Adoption of these maps by the City Council will ensure alignment with State guidelines and strengthen the City's ability to implement effective land-use planning, building codes, and emergency preparedness strategies.
The attached map shows the areas within the City of Bradbury that have been designated moderate, high, or very high from Cal Fire. The areas listed as "Very High" will be subject 414/25 AGENDA ITEM # 2 E
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Ordinance 396: Fire Hazard Severity Zones
to additional California Building Code standards for any new construction, while additional landscaping and vegetation clearance requirements for these properties will begin in 2028. The Los Angeles County Fire Department will be the agency in charge of these efforts. Areas categorized as "High" and "Very High" will be required to disclose upon the sale of their home that it is in one of those severity zones.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 51179, the Bradbury City Council is required to adopt these maps via ordinance within 120 days of the release of the maps.
The Council cannot reduce the fire hazard severity zone within the City but can increase the severity of the zone prior to adoption.
During the May 20, 2025 meeting, the City Council reviewed Ordinance 396. The City Council introduced the Ordinance and set the second reading for the June 17, 2025 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps. However, future implementation of mitigation measures and compliance with updated building standards may incur costs.

FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM # 2F
Ordinance No. 397: Building Code Update
BACKGROUND
The California Health and Safety Code requires that the City adopt the same building standards as those contained in the California Building Standards Code with the exception that the City may establish more restrictive building standards as reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, and/or topographic conditions. Health State Building Standards Code, become effective 180 days after the publication of the State Building Standards Code, or at a later date established by the Building Standards Commission (Commission). The Code has already gone into effect, but the updated Code was never adopted by the City. Because the City contracts with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the City is required to adopt the same Code as the County.
The proposed ordinance adopts by reference, with certain changes and amendments, the 2019 California Fire Code, and adopts as Title 32, the Fire Code for the District. The ordinance includes specific building codes that are more stringent than those adopted by the State Fire Marshal as contained in the California Building Standards Code, and makes the required findings necessary due to local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions in Los Angeles County, including the City of Bradbury. It is important to note that, no new fees have been established, nor have any fees been raised as a result of this proposed ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt, waive reading in full, and authorize reading by title only of Ordinance No. 397.

Agenda Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Suresh Malkani, Finance Director
DATE: June 17, 2025
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 25-12: APPROVAL OF GANN APPROPRIATION LIMIT FOR FY 2025-26
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Resolution No 25-12
2) Calculations for GANN Calculations Limit
SUMMARY
In 1979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, better known as the GANN initiative, which amended the State Constitution, Article XIII-B, requiring that the City establish an appropriation (spending) limit each year. The initiative established a method of computing this appropriations limit. It involves taking the prior year's limit and modifying it for population change and inflation change. Certain types of revenue and spending are exempt from this requirement and are part of the computation. It is recommended that Resolution No. 25-12 setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26 at $3,110,938. in accordance with Article XIII-B of the Constitution of the State of California be approved.
ANALYSIS
Bradbury's appropriations limit (GANN Limit) places an "upper limit" each year on the amount of monies that can be spent from City tax proceeds. Section 9710 of the Government Code provides that, "each year the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by resolution, establish its appropriation limit for the following year..." The GANN limit gets adjusted annually by a population and cost-of-living factor, provided by the California Department of Finance.
The GANN Appropriation Limit only applies to the City government funds. It does not apply to the Redevelopment Agency, Financing Authority, or Enterprise (Business Type) funds. Also, the law exempts certain types of appropriations from the limit, including FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA #72S AGENDA ITEM #

The city is in compliance with Article XIlI-B of the Constitution of the State of California related to its appropriation limit. Attached are the computations for the City of Bradbury appropriations limit for fiscal 2025-26. The new limit is $3,110,938.
This amount has been calculated by the City's Finance Director Suresh Malkani.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS

2. Resolution No. 25-13: Amendment No. 7 to the Agreement between the City and Burrtec
3. Solid Waste Review: Supplemental Information
SUMMARY
The City of Bradbury ('City') contracts with Burrtec Waste Services ('Burrtec') for solid waste collection and recycling. Pursuant to Section 10.10 of the Franchise Agreement, "each subsequent July 1 (after July 1, 1999) the rate for each category of service shall be subject to upward or downward adjustment. Customer rates are comprised of the following categories: contractor service cost, disposal cost, recycling processing, green waste processing cost and manure waste processing cost." Attached are the proposed new rates for trash, recycling, manure, and green waste collection in the City of Bradbury (Attachment #1). The current agreement with Burrtec also is expiring on June 30, 2025 and the proposed Amendment No. 7 (Attachment #2) extends the agreement between the City and Burrtec for an additional 5 years to start on July 1, 2025 and end on June 30, 2030.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the refuse collection and recycling rates set forth in the attached charts to become effective July 1, 2025, and approve Resolution No. 25-13, which amends the current agreement between the City and Burrtec to end on June 30, 2030.
417/25 3
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM # _
Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Rate Adjustment for Solid Waste Collection and Recycling
ANALYSIS
Burrtec Waste Services began providing franchised refuse collection and recycling services in the City of Bradbury on July 1997. The initial rates for Burtec's services were set forth in its contract and were the result of a lengthy competitive bid process and extensive negotiations. In February 2011, the City Council granted a contract extension along with service amendments to Burtec Waste Industries to continue service until June 2018. In June 2016, the City Council granted another contract extension to continue until June 30, 2025.
The City's contract with Burrtec sets forth a specific formula by which refuse collection and recycling rates are to be adjusted over time. The City's responsibility is to review the rates proposed by Burrtec and confirm that the calculations are correct. The basic contract provisions are as follows:
• Rates are adjusted up or down based on the contract formula that accounts for various cost factors, including Consumer Price Index (CPI). • A 4% cap is set forth on each annual adjustment.
• Burrtec may petition the City Council for an adjustment in excess of 4%, when justified by extraordinary circumstances.
City Staff has received inquiries from Council Member Lathrop regarding Burrtec's rate increase, and he requested that Burrtec's Supplemental Information (attachment #3) and the following Q&A be included in this report:
Q: Why is there year-to-year growth of refuse and recycling? Are we experiencing population growth? Does green growth track rainfall/drought experience? Historically, tonnage trends shown below have increased and decreased over time and for various reasons. Similarly, rainfall/drought conditions affect green waste tonnages, but so do the type of plants, access to water, changing landscapes, etc.
In the City's residential barrel programs, manure placed in the trash or green waste container can affect the annual pounds/home just as much as having more or fewer animals in the community.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Rate Adjustment for Solid Waste Collection and Recycling
Q: Why is refuse growth always higher for barrels over bins? If density were always growing for barrels, why doesn't it grow at the same rate for bins? If green waste varies due to rainfall, why do bins no increase at the same manner as barrels? The density variations for mixed commodities and bulky items in a single bin make the comparison to source-separated barrel programs inconsistent, considering all waste streams are in a single bin container. Additionally, the number of subscriptions between the bin (total count 131 for approx. 90 customers) and barrel (total count approx. 700 for approx. 238 customers) is significantly different. There are also fewer service subscriptions for recyclable bins (qty 1), green waste bins (qty 16), and manure bins (qty 14) compared to trash bins (qty 90). This limited adoption of source-separated bins suggests that the trash waste stream contains a mix of trash, recyclables, green waste, and manure, unlike the more effectively separated waste streams seen with bundled barrel services. Bins are large enough to contain some bulky items, which are captured separately in the barrel program.
Bulky items in the bin program can impact annual tonnages (up or down).
Overall, Bradbury residents appear to be quite satisfied with Burrtec, and City Hall has received very few complaints about trash services. Since receiving Burrtec's request, Staff has been reviewing the cost data supplied by Burtec, and the cost increases calculated by Burrtec seem reasonable.
Mr. Michael Heftman, Director of Municipal Services, will be present during this report to make a brief presentation and answer any specific questions.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Burrtec provides approximately $39,000 in franchise waste management fees to the City annually. There may be a minimal increase in revenue from franchise fees to the City from the additional fees collected from services rendered by residents. -STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the refuse collection and recycling rates set forth in the attached charts to become effective July 1, 2025, and approve Resolution No. 25-13, which amends the current agreement between the City and Burrtec to end on June 30, 2030.

RE: Annual Rate Adjustment 2025
Dear Mr. Kearney:
Please accept this as Burtec's formal 2025 annual rate adjustment request. Attached are the draft rate review worksheets detailing the consumer price index adjustments and respective disposal and processing pass-through costs.
The consumer price index (CPI) based on the July 2024 All Urban Consumer Price Index for Los Angeles - Long Beach - Anaheim, CA is 3.42% and was incorporated into the calculations. Trash, green waste and recyclables continued to be delivered to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Azusa. Bradbury remains under a CalRecycle approved waiver for SB 1383 compliance negating the need for food waste recycling programs but is still required to comply with procurement requirements.
Trash disposal tip fees increased from $68.75/ton to $73.04/ton, green waste disposal tip fees increased from $125/ton to $132.81/ton, and residential recyclables processing tip fees increased from $5. 15/ton to $5.41/ton.
Burrtec reports and tracks all monthly tonnages by service sector and material type to include separate and distinct commodity tonnages for barrel-serviced customers and bin- serviced customers. Tonnages are reported to the City periodically and referred to as the Waste Generation report consistent with CalRecycle Program Codes. Residential barrel customers' Trash, Green Waste, and Recyclables tonnages increased 1.9%,
11.75%, and 4.59% respectively.
Thank you for your consideration of the requested rate adjustment.
Sincerely,
Milal Haft

City of Bradbury 2025 Solid Waste Rate Review: Supplemental Information The residential barrel and bin service rates are based on several factors. 1) Service adjustments. Service adjustments are based on the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) factor. This year's CPI service adjustment factor is 3.42%. 2) Disposal and Processing changes. Changes are based upon the following tip fees. a) Updated Tip fees as charged by the disposal and materials processing locations:
Cost Component
(per ton) 2024 2025
Trash $68.75 $73.04
Green Waste $125.00 $132.81
Residential Recycling $5.15 $5.41
b) Updated Densities for the various materials including the following:
a. Trash
b. Recyclables
c. Green waste
Example: Residential 90 Gallon service materials density year-to-year changes (1) 204.06 refuse 90 gal pounds/month at $68.75/ton (1) 207.86 refuse 90 gal pounds/month at $73.04/ton (2) 137.92 green waste pounds/month at $125/ton (2) 154.13 green waste pounds/month at $132.81/ton (3) 36.82 recycling pounds/month at $5.15/ton (3) 38.51 recycling pounds/month at $5.41/ton c) Note: Residential barrel services are bundled rates that include trash, recycling, and green waste services with the combined effects of changes in disposal (density) amounts at the new tipping fees. Bin services are not bundled rates and require individual subscriptions for trash, recyclables, or green waste bin collection services.
3) Container Weight Variances. Residential trash bin customers are not provided with bundled services and require additional subscriptions for recyclables, green waste, and manure. There are significantly less bin service subscriptions for recyclables, green waste, and manure than there are trash bin service subscriptions. The limited number of source-separated recyclables, green waste, and manure bins in service indicates a trash bin waste stream comprised of trash, recyclables, green waste, and manure unlike the source separation occurring with the bundled barrel services. Additionally, bundled residential barrel service does not include source- separated manure barrels causing weight variances between green waste bin and green waste barrel service.
4) Sector generation. Tonnages are reported to the City periodically and referred to as the waste generation report consistent with CalRecycle program code identification.

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON THE BRADBURY ROAD STORM DRAIN PROJECT ATTACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Storm Drain Plans
2) Updated Cost Estimate
3) Tributary Areas
SUMMARY
At its December 17, 2024, the City Council had preliminary discussions regarding a potential storm drain project on Bradbury Road. Staff recommended further studies and analyses to better determine potential project impacts to the neighborhood and to generate a more accurate cost estimate. The City Council authorized to RKA Consulting Group an expenditure not to exceed $10,000 for additional storm drain analysis and studies.
It is recommended that the City Council review the project and direct Staff on how proceed.
BACKGROUND
During the planning process with the current Bradbury Road Widening project, Staff heard from Monrovia residents living on Bradbury Road about water runoff from the Bradbury Estates. These concerns were shared with Staff during the settlement agreement process and was memorialized in the agreement by the City agreeing to consult with the City of Monrovia on remediation.
ANALYSIS
This storm drain project proposes to construct several catch basins near the entrance of the Bradbury Estates. The catch basins would connect to a 30" diameter underground conduit that runs south on Wildrose Avenue and Bradbury Road. The storm drain would connect to an existing storm drain near the intersection of Lemon Avenue and Bradbury Road. Hence, 217/25
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM #.
Status Report - Bradbury Road Storm Drain
the water that currently flows out of the Bradbury Estates and into the gutter on Wildrose Avenue would be captured and diverted underground (SEE ATTACHMENT #1 - Preliminary Storm Drain Plans).
After the additional studies and analysis were completed by RKA, Bradbury representatives met with Monrovia staff on May 19' to discuss the project layout, updated cost estimate and funding responsibilities (cost splitting). At the end of the discussion, there was no clear consensus as to the cost distribution of the project whether it be a 50/50 cost split, split based on tributary area, etc. (SEE ATTACHMENT #3 - Tributary Areas).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The updated construction cost, including PS&E is anticipated to be $1,092,226 (SEE ATTACHMENT #2 - Updated Cost Estimate).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the project and direct Staff on how proceed.

Initiated By: David Gilbertson, City Engineer
DATE: June 17, 2025
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
LEMON CUT-THRU TRAIL
SUMMARY
At the request of Council Member Barakat, this item discusses the Lemon Cut-Thu Trail, and maintenance and potential improvements to the Trail.
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed.
DISCUSSION
The Lemon Avenue Cut Thru Trail between Lemon Avenue and Royal Oaks Drive North is a rugged walking surface consisting of a combination of decomposed granite trail material, railroad-tie steps, and pockets of large gravel placed in areas that have experienced erosion after the past few rainy seasons. There is a large, grated inlet at the southernly end of the trail at Royal Oaks Drive North. The trail is at an average grade of 5% so without the instillation of more permanent surface material, the trail could experience erosion after significant storm events.
ANALYSIS
After recent field investigations by Staff, it appears that the majority of the trail surface has held up satisfactorily after the most recent winter season, and the City's minor maintenance program continues to keep the trail in decent shape. There are several 6|7/25 5
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM #
Discussion on the Lemon Cut-Thru Trail
options for the future and on-going maintenance of the Lemon Avenue Cut Thru Trail:
1. Minor Maintenance. Continue the on-going maintenance consisting of removing weeds and debris from the trail, filling in rodent holes, removing eroded trail material from the downstream inlet, etc. The yearly cost, which is already in the budget, is $2,35.32.
2. Trail Upkeep. Trail upkeep consists of filling in the ruts and eroded areas with additional decomposed granite trail material/gravel to provide a uniform trail surface and removing eroded debris from the downstream inlet. This trail upkeep would be performed on a quarterly basis or after heavy rainfall events. The cost for this option is estimated to be $5,000 to $7,500 per year.
3. Trail Enhancement. This trail enhancement consists of removing sections of the trail that contain the large gravel and installing stabilized decomposed granite trail material. This would provide a smoother and more uniform walking surface. This is a one-time option with a cost estimated to be $30,000 to $40,000. There will also be on-going maintenance costs to fill-in eroded areas with new trail material and to remove the eroded trail material from the downstream inlet.
4. Trail Modification. This trail modification consists of removing the existing v- gutter at the south end of the trail (which is installed too high), regrading the southernly 300 feet of trail surface to provide a uniform slope to the east side, and installing a new 300-foot-long concrete v-gutter to collect the storm runoff and outlet the v-gutter to the existing grated inlet at the south end of the trail. This is a one-time cost of estimated to be $50,000 to $75,000. There will also be on- going maintenance costs to fill-in eroded areas of the trail material and to remove the eroded trail material from the downstream inlet.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed.

INTRODUCTION
In July 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 383 to provide local regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs), and SB 9 developments. Since then, the State has amended the laws for ADUs and JADUs, and has issued clarifications for the interpretation of SB 9 provisions. Several amendments were made in conjunction with the adoption of the City's Sixth-Cycle Housing Element by Ordinance No. 388 in October 2023, but more legislation has been enacted since then.
Additionally, earlier this year the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) reviewed the draft ordinance that had been prepared for ADUs and has issued comments. The City's codes need to be amended to comply with State law.
The attached proposed Ordinance No. 398 has been drafted to address the required amendments as well as give consideration to HCD's preliminary comments on the draft.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its regular meeting on March 26, 2025, for the proposed ordinance. At its regular meeting on May 28, 2025, the Commission adopted the attached Resolution No. PC 25-326 to recommend that the City Council approve and adopt the ordinance.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The proposed Ordinance No. 398 addresses the required amendments in three sections with amendments shown as red, italicized and underlined text for new wording and deletions are struckthrough. Section 1 addresses several terms and definitions. Section 2 amends Chapter 85 to bring the City's regulations for ADUs, JADUs, and SB 9 units into conformance with State law, and amends the regulations for Accessory Living Quarters (ALQs, ie., guest houses and SROs) as applicable under SB 9. A redlined version of Chapter 85 is attached. Section 3 addresses Chapter 164, which is for SB 9 lot splits. A redlined version of Chapter 164 is attached.
Section 1 of Proposed Ordinance No. 398 - Definitions
The following two terms and definitions are not consistent with State ADU laws and are to be deleted. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has clarified that there are not to be additional or different types of ADUs, and that there cannot be different regulations for ADUs no matter the location or type of construction.
Enhanced accessory dwelling unit ("EADU") means an ADU over 1,000 square feet and up to 1,200 square feet.
Fire zone ADU ("FZADU") means an ADU in the very high fire hazard severity zone which complies with City zoning setback requirements and is equipped with fire sprinklers, the requirement of which would otherwise be prohibited by State tegislation.
Furthermore, the two lots created by an SB 9 lot split are not to be differentiated; therefore, the term, "Legacy lot" and its definition are to be deleted.
Legacy lot means the lot in an SB 9 lot split that contains the primary unit. If both lots are vacant at the time of the SB 9 lot split, the legacy lot shall mean the lot which is designated as the legacy lot as part of the lot split.
SB 9 uses the term, "Primary unit" but that is not meant to be any particular dwelling unit on an SB 9 lot; therefore, per SB 9, there can be two primary units on a lot. The definition of "Primary unit" is to be amended as follows and replaces the term "Main house":
Primary unit or main house means the existing or proposed largest single family dwelling on a lot if there are multiple dwellings-a single-family dwelling that consists of the minimum square footage required in the underlying zone. In the case of a Ordinance No. 398 - Introduction
June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 4
tot split authorized under Senate Bill 9, primary unit or main house shall mean the existing or proposed largest single-family dwelling on the legacy lot.
The following definition of "SB 9" is added for clarification, and the following definitions for "SB 9 lot" and "SB 9 unit" are amended to conform to State law:
SB 9 means Senate Bill 9 (Ch. 162) from the 2021 California Legislative Session, as the same has been amended from time to time.
SB 9 lot means a lot created by a lot split under the lot in an SB 9, as implemented by Chapter 164 of the Bradbury Development Code. tot split that does not contain the primary unit or is not designated as the legacy lot.
SB 9 unit means the residential dwelling allowed on a lot under the provisions of SB 9 Senate Bill 9 (Ch. 162 2021 Legis. Session) as implemented by the Bradbury Municipal Code.
Section 2 - Chapter 85 - Secondary Living Quarters and SB 9 Units Section 2 of proposed Ordinance No. 398 amends Chapter 85 to bring the City's regulations for ADUs, JADUs, and SB 9 units into conformance with State law, and amends the regulations for Accessory Living Quarters (ALQs, i.e., guest houses and SROs) as applicable under SB 9. A redlined version of Chapter 85 is attached.
Article I of Section 2 of the Ordinance addresses the tables that listed the permitted types of dwellings for each zone. These are to be replaced with a new table that summarizes the allowed development for each zone. The new table does not differentiate between properties that are or are not in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as State law does not allow any differentiation of ADUs, JADUs, and SB 9 units, nor are the lots created under SB 9 to be differentiated.
Article Il addresses the regulations for ADUs and JADUs, which are to be amended to delete any references of Enhanced ADUs (EADUs) and Fire Zone ADUs (FZADUs) and adds regulations in accordance with new State regulations for ADUs and JADUs.
Article Ill is for the regulations for Accessory Living Quarters (ALQs - i.e., guest houses and Single Room Occupancy Developments) and are to be amended in regard to applicability under SB 9 in accordance with State law.
Article IV amends the regulations for SB 9 units to bring them into conformance with State law.
Section 3 - Chapter 164 - Urban Lot Splits
Section 3 of the proposed Ordinance No. 398 amends Chapter 164 to bring the City's regulations for SB 9 lot splits, or "Urban lot splits" into conformance with State law. A redlined version of Chapter 164 is attached.

2) Planning Commission Resolution No. PC 25-327
INTRODUCTION
The City's Sixth-Cycle Housing Element was adopted in 2023 and included programs to enhance housing opportunities. Some of these programs required amendments to the Development Code, which were made by Ordinance No. 388 in October 2023. The State has enacted legislation since the adoption of the Housing Element that requires additional Development Code amendments to comply with State law and to be consistent with the Housing Element. The attached proposed Ordinance No. 399 has been drafted to address the required amendments.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its regular meeting of March 26, 2025, for the proposed ordinance. At its May 28, 2025, regular meeting, the Commission adopted the attached Resolution No. PC 25-327 to recommend that the City Council approve and adopt the ordinance.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7
Ordinance No. 399 - Introduction
June 17, 2025 Page 2 of 6
The proposed Ordinance No. 399 makes several changes to address Housing Element programs, and will bring the City's regulations for Emergency Shelters, Employee Housing, Group Homes, Residential Care Facilities, Replacement Housing, Supportive Housing for the Homeless, and the definition of "Family" into compliance with State law.
The amendments are in five Sections. Section 1 is for new and amended definitions.
Section 2 amends the requirements for Large Residential Care Facilities - 7 or more residents. Section 3 amends the allowed uses in the residential zones. Section 4 adds provisions for Supportive Housing for Homeless, and Section 5 adds Replacement Housing regulations. The amendments are shown as red, Italicized and underlined text for added wording, and deletions are struckthrough.
Section 1 of Proposed Ordinance No. 399 - Definitions
Several terms and definitions for various types of housing that are required to be allowed by State law are included in the Housing Element. These need to be added or amended in the Development Code.
The following two types of housing and the definitions are new additions to the Development Code:
Employee housing means housing for six or fewer employees in a single-family dwelling in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5(b).
Employee Housing shall be deemed a single-family use and shall be treated the same as any single-family dwelling in districts where single-family dwellings are allowed. Employee housing meeting this definition is subject to all municipal codes, regulations and other standards generally applicable to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
Group home for purposes of this Title means housing shared by unrelated persons with disabilities that provide peer and other support for their residents' disability related needs in which residents share cooking, dining, and living areas, and may, in some group homes, participate in cooking, housekeeping, and other communal living activities. A group home must allow open-ended stays and cannot provide any licensable service.
The following definition is to be added for a type of housing that is already included in the Development Code. Residential care facilities, large (7+ residents) and small (up to 6 residents) are already allowed but are currently limited to 'State licensed' facilities. State law does not require that these care facilities be licensed; therefore, a definition for 'unlicensed' facilities is being added:
Residential care facility, unlicensed means group housing that is not required to be licensed by state law which is shared by unrelated persons with disabilities that provide peer and other support for the residents' disability related needs in which the residents function as a family. Such facilities may be small (six or fewer residents) or large (seven or more residents).
Ordinance No. 399 - Introduction
June 17, 2025 Page 3 of 6
Supportive housing is already included in the Development Code, but the following type of supportive housing is to be allowed specifically for homeless:
Supportive housing for the homeless means the same as set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 50675.2 and includes nonresidential uses and administrative office space as defined in Government Code Section 65651(a) (5). Supportive housing specifically includes transitional housing for youth and young adults.
The following terms and definitions are to be amended.
Emergency shelter is defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50801 as housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person.

No individual or household may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay.
Family means a group of individuals not necessarily related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship living together in a dwelling unit as a single housekeeping unit under a common housekeeping management plan based on an intentionally structured relationship providing organization and stabilitya person or a group of persons living together and maintaining a common household.

"Low barrier" means best practices to reduce barriers into entry of housing such as allowing the presence of partners, pets, and the storage of possessions. A low barrier navigation center may be non-congregate and relocatable.
Section 2 - Large Residential Care Facilities
The regulations for Large Residential Care Facilities, which are in Section 9.49.025 of Chapter 49 (Conditional Use Permits) are to be amended as follows:

In the R-7,500 zone, 'Group homes of any size operating as a single-family residence' and 'Employee housing' are added as principal permitted uses. These are in addition to 'Small residential care facility (six or fewer residents)' and 'Supportive and transitional housing' that are already allowed. And 'Large residential care facility (seven or more residents)' is added as a Conditional use.
In the R-20,000 zone, 'Group homes of any size operating as a single-family residence' and 'Employee housing' are added as principal permitted uses, in addition to 'Small residential care facility (six or fewer residents)' and 'Supportive and transitional housing' that are already allowed.

For Density Bonus projects, the replacement housing is required per Government Code Section 65913(c)(3) for housing development projects of five or more residential units, and the replacement units are to be on the site of the housing development.
Per the Housing Crisis Act, replacement housing and tenant benefits are required in accordance with Government Code Section 66300 et seq. for any housing development of two or more units on a site with 'protected units' under the Act.
For projects on a site that is on the available sites inventory of the Housing Element, replacement housing shall be provided as required by Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3).
