ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is considered exempt . Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n), the adoption of an ordinance by a city implementing the provisions of Government Code Sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 to regulate SB 9 – Second Single-Family Dwellings and Urban Lot Splits is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund by adopting the proposed ZTA.
Approval of the Ordinance and future SB 9 – Second Single-Family Dwellings and Urban Lot Splits would be processed through the City’s existing planning or building plan check and permitting process, which includes the payment of associated processing and development fees. Newly created parcels and new SB 9 – Second Single- Family Dwellings would be reassessed by the County, which may result in a higher valuation and/or property taxes. Proponents of f uture development would be required to pay the associated development impact fees as well as any required infrastructure connection and maintenance fees.
