THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIFORNIA CITY DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS.
1. The purpose of this ordinance is to further the goals of the City's Housing Element to provide additional non-traditional housing opportunities in the City and to stimulate development of underutilized properties in the City.
2. The uses allowed by the proposed Residential Tiny and Small Homes Overlay Zoning Ordinance are consistent with and implement the goals and policies of the City's General Plan.
3. The proposed zoning overlay is compatible with the land uses existing and permitted on the properties in the vicinity.
4. The overlay zone district area is physically suited to the uses authorized in the proposed zoning.
5. The uses and intensity allowed and regulated by the proposed overlay zone ordinance is not likely to create serious health problems or create nuisances on properties in the vicinity.
6. This project meets California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), guidelines, and the City's environmental procedures, and is determined to be exempt pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code will have a significant effect on the environment because smaller homes will have less potential for environmental impacts than the approved existing uses allowed by the current zoning.
SECTION 2: Chapter 2 of Title 9 of the California City Municipal Code is hereby amended to add a new Article 24.5 titled Residential Tiny and Small Homes Overlay Zone as follows:
Article 24.5 Residential Tiny and Small Homes Overlay Zone Sec. 9-2.2450. - Purpose.
The Residential Tiny and Small Homes (R-THO) Overlay Zone District is established to provide housing options in specified tracts within the City by permitting homes smaller in size than the current City minimum square footage of 1200 square feet of living area, and shall be used for independent living quarters, designed as a permanent, year-round residence.
