From: Mike Luken, Interim City Manager

Subject: Cash Summary – July 2023
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
Summary/Background
The monthly financial report includes General Fund Reserved Cash Analysis Graphs and the City of Colfax Cash Summary Report (with supporting documentation). The purpose of these reports is to provide the status of funds and transparency for Council and the public regarding the financial transactions of the City. The reports are prepared monthly on a cash basis and are reconciled to the General Ledger accounting system, previous reports, and bank statements. Detailed budget comparisons are provided as a mid-year report and as part of the proposed budget process each year.
The attached reports reflect an overview of the financial transactions of the City of Colfax in July 2023. Some monthly highlights are listed below:
July revenues included:
o Allocation for Sales Tax revenues reported/paid to the State for the month of May 2023 (twomonth lag). July expenditures included:
o Approved capital project expenditures – expenditures on WWTP Construction Grant and other grant funded projects.
o Annual payment for liability and property insurance – quarterly payments for workers compensation insurance.
o Annual payment for CalPERS unfunded liability.
o City litigation and legal expenses
o Fire services for quarter ended June 30.
Negative cash fund balances at the end of June are due to the timing of funding allocations and reimbursements:
o Fund 250 – Streets – Roads/Transportation. These expenses are funded by annual Transportation funding through Placer County Transportation Agency (PCTPA), City Gas Tax revenues, and a General Fund allocation. All allocations and transfers will be recorded with final fiscal year accounting process.
o Fund 300 – Capital Projects. This is the new project for the installation of a metal storage building at the City Corporation Yard. The project is slated to be paid for by Mitigation Fund 214 – City Buildings. Funds are to be transferred at project completion.

City of Colfax Quarterly Investment Report – Quarter Ended 06/30/2023 Staff Report August 23, 2023
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE AUGUST 23, 2023 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Mike Luken, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Laurie Van Groningen, Finance Director
Subject: Quarterly Investment Report – Quarter ended June 30, 2023 Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
California Government Code Section 53646 and the City of Colfax Investment Policy require a quarterly investment report be submitted to the City Council. Such report shall include at least the following information:
Types of Investments;
Name of the institution in which funds are invested or deposited; Date of Maturity, if applicable;
Par and dollar amount investment for all securities;
Percent distribution of each type of investment or deposit; current market value as of the date of the report, including source of the valuation except those under LAIF; Rate of interest;
Average weighted yield of all investments;
A statement relating the report to the City’s Investment Policy; and A statement that there are sufficient funds to meet the City’s next six months of financial obligations.
The current practice for cash management is to maintain an operating balance between $75,000 and $150,000 in the City’s US Bank Corporate checking account. This account accumulates Earnings Credits based on the account balance which offset/reduce monthly service charges. City funds in excess of the targeted operating balance are transferred to the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) on a weekly basis. The checking account balance may be reported at an amount higher than the target balance by the Bank due to the timing of City checks being processed by vendors/service providers.
The City’s investment policy is authorized under the California Government Code, section 53600, et. seq. as it applies to the investment of public funds. The Government Code governs the City’s allowable investments, and the lengths of those investments. Our investment policy dictates that the City should have liquid short term securities to meet six months of financial obligations. The budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 reflects nearly $4.9M in annual operating expenditures; therefore, our target for liquid short term securities would be $2.45M.
The attached schedule Analysis of Treasury Investment Pool satisfies the State’s reporting requirements.
Additionally, we have determined:
The investments held at June 30, 2023 conform to the City Investment Policy adopted by Resolution 29- 2014.
The composite yield of the City’s investment pool (US Bank and LAIF) to be the rate of 2.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
There are sufficient funds on deposit to meet all anticipated City expenditures for the period July 01, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept and File

City of Colfax
Procurement Policies and Procedures
1. Purpose of procurement standards. The purpose of these standards is to establish procedures for the City for the procurement of supplies and other expendable property, equipment, real property, and other services.
2. Code of conduct. No employee, officer, councilmembers, or agent shall participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved. Such a conflict would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for an award. The officers, employees, and agents of the City shall neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors, or parties to subagreements except for where the financial interest is not substantial, or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. Members of the City's board of directors shall comply with all relevant fiduciary duties, including those governing conflicts of interest, when they vote upon matters related to procurement contracts in which they have a direct or indirect financial or personal interest. Officers, employees, directors, and agents of the City shall be subject to disciplinary actions for violations of these standards.
3. Competition. All procurement transactions shall be conducted in a manner to provide, to the maximum extent practical, open, and free competition. The City shall be alert to organizational conflicts of interest as well as noncompetitive practices among contractors that may restrict or eliminate competition or otherwise restrain trade. In order to ensure objective contractor performance and eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors that develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, invitations for bids and/or requests for proposals shall be excluded from competing for such procurements. Awards shall be made to the bidder or offeror whose bid or offer is responsive to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the City, price, quality, and other factors considered. Solicitations shall clearly set forth all requirements that the bidder or offeror shall fulfill in order for the bid or offer to be evaluated by the City. Any and all bids or offers may be rejected when it is in the City's interest to do so. In all procurement the City shall avoid practices that are restrictive of competition. These include but are not limited to:
(a) Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do business, (b) Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding, (c) Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between affiliated companies, (d) Noncompetitive awards to consultants that are on retainer contracts, (e) Organizational conflicts of interest,
(f) Specifying only a brand name product instead of allowing an equal product to be offered and describing the performance of other relevant requirements of the procurement, and Item 3E36
(g) Any arbitrary action in the procurement process.
4. Methods of Procurement to be Followed.
(a) Procurement by small purchase procedures. Small purchase procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that do not cost more than the "Simplified Acquisition Threshold" fixed at 41 U.S.C. 403(11) (currently set at $100,000) and where procurement by sealed bid is not required. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations shall be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources to ensure that the selection process is competitive in accordance with these policies. City funded procurement is not subject to the procedures.
(b) Procurement by sealed bids (formal advertising). Bids are publicly solicited and a firm-fixed-price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming with all the material terms and conditions of the invitation for bids, is the lowest in price. (i) The sealed bid method is the preferred method for procuring construction if the following conditions are present:
(A) A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available;
(B) Two or more responsible bidders are willing and able to compete effectively and for the business; and
(C) The procurement lends itself to a firm fixed price contract and the selection of the successful bidder can be made principally on the basis of price. (ii) If sealed bids are used, the following requirements apply:
(A) The invitation for bids will be publicly advertised and bids shall be solicited from an adequate number of known suppliers, providing them sufficient time prior to the date set for opening the bids;
(B) The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments, shall define the items or services in order for the bidder to properly respond;
(C) All bids will be publicly opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids;
(D) Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason. (c) Procurement by competitive proposals. The technique of competitive proposals is normally conducted with more than one source submitting an offer, and either a fixed-price or costreimbursement type contract is awarded. It is generally used when conditions are not appropriate for Item 3E37
the use of sealed bids or small purchase procedures. If this method is used, the following requirements apply:
(i) Requests for proposals will be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals shall be honored to the maximum extent practical;
(ii) Proposals will be solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; (iii) The City shall evaluate responses to its solicitations and select awardees in accordance the procedures outlined in section 5 below ("Procurement Procedures") (iv) Awards will be made to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous to the City with price and other factors considered; and
(v) The City may use the competitive proposal procedures for qualifications-based procurement of architectural/engineering (A/E) professional services, consultant services, and other services whereby competitors' qualifications are evaluated and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair and reasonable compensation. A procurement process where price is not to be used as a stated selection factor can only be used in procurement of A/E professional services. It cannot be used to purchase other types of A/E firms are a potential source to perform the proposed effort.
(d) Procurement by noncompetitive proposals is procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source, or after solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate.
(i) Procurement by noncompetitive proposals may be used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under small purchase procedures, sealed bids, or competitive proposals and one of the following circumstances applies:
(A) The item is available only from a single source;
(B) The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation;
(C) The funding source specifically authorizes the use of noncompetitive proposals; or
(D) After solicitation of a number of sources, competition is determined inadequate. (ii) Cost analysis, i.e., verifying the proposed cost data, the projections of the data, and the evaluation of the specific elements of costs and profits, is required. (iii) When using a noncompetitive process, the City normally would be expected to submit Item 3E38
the proposed procurement to the relevant funding source for pre-award. (iv) When the funding is from the local municipality.
5. Procurement procedures.
(a) All procurement by the City shall comply, at a minimum, with the requirements of subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) below:
(i) the City avoid purchasing unnecessary items.
(ii) Where appropriate, an analysis is made of lease and purchase alternatives to determine which would be the most economical and practical procurement. (iii) Solicitations for goods and services provide for all of the following. (A) A clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for the material, product, or service to be procured. In competitive procurements, such a description shall not contain features which unduly restrict competition. (B) Requirements which must be fulfill and all other factors to be used in evaluating proposal submitted in response to solicitations.
(C) A description, whenever practicable, of technical requirements in terms of functions to be performed or performance required, including the range of acceptable characteristics or minimum acceptable standards. (D) When relevant, the specific features of "brand name or equal" descriptions that are to be included in responses submitted to solicitation. (E) The acceptance, to the extent practicable and economically feasible, of products and services dimensioned in the metric system of measurement. (F) Preference, to the extent practicable and economically feasible, for products and services that conserve natural resources and protect the environment and are energy efficient.
(b) The type of procuring instruments used (e.g., fixed price contracts, cost reimbursable contracts, purchase orders, and incentive contracts) shall be determined by the City but shall be appropriate for the particular procurement and for promoting the best interest of the program or project involved. The "*cost-plus-a-percentage-of- cost" or "*percentage of construction cost" methods of contracting shall not be used.
* Cost-plus-percentage-of-cost is a contract under which the contractor is paid a percentage of the total actual expenses or costs in addition to the contractor’s actual expenses or costs.
* Percentage-of-Construction-costs is a values set for the total estimated construction contract award amount, including of all built-in costs to set a contract.
Item 3E39
(c) Contracts shall be made only with responsible contractors who possess the potential ability to perform successfully under the terms and conditions of the proposed procurement. Consideration shall be given to such matters as contractor integrity, record of past performance, financial and technical resources, or accessibility to other necessary resources. (d) Debarment and Suspension – No contract shall be made to parties listed on the General Services Administration’s List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement or Nonprocurement Programs in accordance with E.O.s 12549 and 12689, “Debarment and Suspension.” Contractors with awards that exceed the small purchase threshold shall provide the required certification regarding its exclusion status and that of its principal employees.

City of Colfax Ordinance Authorizing Retail Sale of Adult Use Cannabis Staff Report August 23, 2023

FOR THE AUGUST 23, 2023, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Mike Luken, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Mike Luken, Interim City Manager
Alfred A. “Mick” Cabral, City Attorney
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Colfax Municipal Code Chapter 5.32 (Commercial Cannabis Activity) to Allow Retail Sale of Adult Use Cannabis
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: √ Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
Summary/Background
At the July 26, 2023 regular meeting, the City Council discussed potential changes to the City’s Commercial Cannabis Activity ordinance (The “Cannabis Ordinance”; Colfax Municipal Code [“CMC”] Chapter 5.32).
After extensive discussion and public comment, a majority of the Council directed staff to present a proposed ordinance that will allow the retail sale of adult use cannabis in Colfax.
The proposed ordinance will accomplish Council’s direction by deleting a single word from CMC §5.32.080 as follows:
5.32.080(a)(1). Medicinal Retailer (including microbusiness engaged in retail sales): maximum of one (1).
CMC §5.32.050(al) defines “retailer” to include a commercial cannabis business. CMC §5.32.050(l) defines “commercial cannabis business” as “any business or operation which engages in medicinal or adult-use commercial cannabis activity.” Striking “Medicinal” from CMC §5.32.080(a)(1) will allow the holder of a valid retail cannabis license to engage in the sale of medicinal and/or adult use cannabis.
The proposed amendment to CMC §5.32.080(a)(1) does not increase the number of retail cannabis licenses that the City can issue. Both before and after the amendment, the City will be authorized to issue only one retail cannabis business license. The change will only expand the potential scope of what can be sold under a retail cannabis license in Colfax.
The proposed amendment will likewise not require the City to issue a retail cannabis license for medicinal or adult-use cannabis at all. CMC §5.32.080(a)(1) only establishes a maximum number of retail cannabis licenses the City is authorized to issue. The City Council will still have to decide whether to authorize the issuance of a retail cannabis license and, if so, whether it will include medicinal cannabis sales, adult-use cannabis sales, or both.
Cannabis is still a Schedule 1 controlled substance and is illegal under federal law even though it is legal under California law. The federal Rohrbacher-Farr amendment, which remains effective, prohibits the federal government from spending federal money to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws.
It is unclear whether and, if so, how federal law will be enforced against local cannabis establishments, if at all.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce proposed Ordinance 552 by title only, conduct a public hearing, waive the first reading, and continue for a second reading and possible adoption at the September 13, 2023, regular meeting.

City of Colfax Ordinance Authorizing Retail Sale of Adult Use Cannabis Staff Report August 23, 2023
THE AMENDMENT PROCESS.
Ordinances can only be adopted at a regular Council meeting unless they qualify as “urgency” ordinances and cannot be adopted within five days of their introduction. Staff anticipates that the Council will introduce the ordinance, conduct a public hearing, and continue the ordinance for adoption at the September 13 regular meeting. Ordinances become effective 30 days after their adoption and are subject to referendum during that 30- day period. If this ordinance is adopted on September 13, it will become effective on October 13, 2023.
This Ordinance is not self-executing. If this ordinance is adopted, staff will present a resolution to the Council that will (1) authorize staff to issue a retail cannabis business license to a person or entity designated by the Council, and (2) determine whether that license will be for medicinal cannabis sale, adult-use cannabis sale, or both.
Staff will be available to answer any questions.

If any section, phrase, sentence, or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision; and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof.
Section 4. California Environmental Quality Act Findings The City of Colfax finds that, if the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code §21000 et seq (hereinafter "CEQA") apply, the title of this ordinance would constitute a brief description of the "Project" as required by Section 15062(a)(1) of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act published by the State of California Office of Planning and Research (the "CEQA Guidelines").
FINDING OF NO PROJECT
The City of Colfax finds that adoption of this ordinance does not constitute a "Project" as that term is defined by or used in CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines or any court or attorney general opinion construing the same. Accordingly, the City of Colfax finds that the provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines are not applicable to said action.
FINDING OF EXEMPTION

and the CEQA Guidelines, for the following reasons: The action falls within the exemptions provided by Senate Bill 94, and within the “common sense” CEQA exemption provided in 14 CCR 15061(b)(3) in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE AUGUST 23, 2023 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
From: Michael Luken, Interim City Manager
Prepared by: Emmanuel Ursu, Planning Director
Subject: Discussion of Zoning Code Updates
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: Funded: √ Un-funded: Amount: $40,000 Fund(s): REAP-2 Summary/Background
Changes to the City Zoning Code are proposed to comply with changes to state housing law; to reflect updates to the general plan; and to add clarity to the development standards, to correct typographical errors, and internal inconsistencies. This effort is focused on housing-related standards of the zoning code and is funded by the State through phase 2 of the Local Early Action Program (LEAP-2). LEAP2 is a program intended to assist local governments with the preparation and adoption of planning documents, and process improvements that accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance with implementation of the sixth-cycle regional housing needs assessment.
Discussion
Changes to the zoning code are grouped in three categories as follows:
1. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Changes to the Colfax Zoning Code are necessary to comply with state laws enacted to encourage the development of ADUs.
2. Updates to reflect changes to the General Plan – With the pending adoption of the General Plan update, changes to the Zoning Code and Zoning Map are necessary.
3. Clean up of the Zoning Code – Edits of the Zoning Code are proposed to add clarity to the development standards, remove redundant or obsolete code sections, and correct typographical errors and incorrect references.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). An ADU is a unit with complete independent living facilities for one or more persons on a parcel with a primary dwelling unit or multiple dwelling units. Provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation are contained within an ADU. The California legislature passed, and the Governor signed into law multiple bills (including AB 68 by Philip Ting, AB 881 by Richard Bloom, AB 587 and AB 671 by Laura Friedman, and SB 13 by Bob Wieckowski) to encourage the development of ADUs. The new laws, chaptered in Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, preempt local land use control and establish criteria to allow development of ADUs. Local agencies may establish more lenient regulations for the development of ADUs, but not more restrictive regulations. The existing regulations in Chapter 17.196 – Second Dwelling Units of the Zoning Code, will be replaced by the new ADU regulations.
There are four general variations of ADUs, as follows:
• Detached: the ADU is not attached to the primary structure on the property. • Attached: the ADU is attached to the primary structure on the property. • Converted Existing Space: the ADU is created from existing space on the property, and it may either be attached or not attached to the primary structure on the property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review the draft updates to the Zoning Code and direct staff to prepare an ordinance for City Council consideration.
Item 9A54
• Junior ADU: conversion of existing space contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family house and does not exceed 500 square feet.
State criteria for ADUs, current Second Unit standards of the Colfax Zoning Code, and staff comment, are indicated below.

In addition to the criteria described above, the following standards apply:
In single-family zones, State law requires the following ADU configurations to be allowed:
• Attached to existing or proposed SFD: One ADU, one JADU or one of each, per lot. • Detached: One detached ADU, with or without a JADU that is within primary residence.
In multi-family zones, State law requires the following ADU configurations to be allowed:
• Attached Multifamily: in existing spaces not used as living space (lobby, storage rooms, utility rooms, etc.) the City must allow at least one ADU and up to 25% of the existing multifamily units. • Detached Multifamily: Up to two detached ADUs with 16-foot height limit and 4-foot rear and side setbacks.
No replacement or additional parking may be required, no owner-occupancy requirements may be imposed, fire sprinklers may only be required if require for the primary residence. The City may not Item 9A56
allow ADUs developed under the new law to be rented on a short-term basis (e.g. less than 30 days) General Plan Consistency
Changes to the zoning map are necessary to make it consistent with General Plan Land Use Map, as follows.
Mixed Use Districts.
As a part of the General Plan update, the “Residential Commercial” General Plan Land Use Designation is removed, and two new “Mixed-Use” land use designations are created: MU-1 and MU2. The zoning map and zoning code will be amended to include the new land use designations and the Residential Commercial Overlay zone would be removed. There are no existing development standards for the Residential Commercial Overlay zone.
MU-1 is a vertical mixed-use district
applied to Main Street in the historic
downtown, shown in the light blue in
Figure 1. The intent of the MU-1
zone is for the ground floor street
frontage to be activated with retail
and restaurant uses while spaces
behind street frontage and above
ground floor can be occupied by
professional offices, residential, and
other commercial uses.
MU-2 allows a horizontal (or
vertical) mix of uses around the
historic downtown, in nearby
commercial nodes, as shown in dark
blue in Figure 1, and, at the request
of the property owner, at the
entrance to the Sierra Oaks
subdivision. This zone would allow
residential uses, commercial uses, or
both in a horizontal or vertical
configuration.
Parks District
As a part of the General Plan update, a Parks land use designation is created and applied to the Lion’s Childrens Park, shown in Green in Figure 1. The Open Space zoning is replaced by the new Parks zoning and applied to the existing park. Currently the City’s maintenance yard is zoned Open Space. It would be rezoned Public Quasi-Public.
Public Quasi-Public District
Through the General Plan update, a Public Quasi-Public land use designation is created and applied to property developed with uses such as the City’s maintenance yard, the sewage treatment plant, the Figure 1: General Plan Land Use Map Excerpt
Item 9A57
former landfill, and the community center. The existing Special Public Services District zone would be renamed Public Quasi-Public and the zoning map would be changed to reflect the new zoning district.
Agriculture District
The General Plan does not have an agricultural land use designation, however, one heavily wooded hillside parcel (APN 101-150-022-Dwelle) at the southeastern corner of the City at the end and South of Hannah Drive is zoned Agriculture. The City Council previously adopted Resolution 92-91 approving pre-zoning for annexation of the parcel, included several conditions, including that a recreational park of two acres be included on the site. The proposed change would rezone the parcel Single-family residential to correspond with the existing Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation, add a floating “Park” zoning with a note that a two-acre park, in a location acceptable to the City, shall be developed and offered to the City at the time the parcel is developed, and the Agriculture zoning and zoning standards are to be removed from the zoning code.

Understanding Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) and Their Importance
California’s housing production is not keeping pace with demand. In the last decade, less than half of the homes needed to keep up with the population growth were built.
Additionally, new homes are often constructed away from job-rich areas. This lack of housing that meets people’s needs is impacting affordability and causing average
housing costs, particularly for renters in California, to rise significantly. As affordable housing becomes less
accessible, people drive longer distances between
housing they can afford and their workplace or pack
themselves into smaller shared spaces, both of which
reduce quality of life and produce negative environmental impacts.
*******
Beyond traditional construction, widening the range of housing types can increase the housing supply and help more low-income Californians thrive. Examples of some of these housing types are Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs - also referred to as second units, in-law units, casitas, or granny flats) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs).
ADUs tend to be significantly less expensive to build and offer benefits that address common development barriers such as affordability and environmental quality. Because ADUs must be built on lots with existing or proposed housing, they do not require paying for new land, dedicated parking or other costly infrastructure required to build a new single-family home. Because they are contained inside existing single-family homes, JADUs require relatively What is an ADU?
An ADU is an accessory dwelling unit with complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and has a few variations:
• Detached: The unit is separated from the primary structure. • Attached: The unit is attached to the primary structure. • Converted Existing Space: Space (e.g., master bedroom, attached garage, storage area, or similar use, or an accessory structure) on the lot of the primary residence that is converted into an independent living unit.
• Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU): A specific type of conversion of existing space that is contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family residence.
Item 9A64
modest renovations and are much more affordable to complete. ADUs are often built with cost-effective one or two-story wood frames, which are also cheaper than other new homes. Additionally, prefabricated ADUs can be directly purchased and save much of the time and money that comes with new construction. ADUs can provide as much living space as apartments and condominiums and work well for couples, small families, friends, young people, and seniors.
Much of California’s housing crisis comes from job-rich, high-opportunity areas where the total housing stock is insufficient to meet demand and exclusionary practices have limited housing choice and inclusion. Professionals and students often prefer living closer to jobs and amenities rather than spending hours commuting. Parents often want better access to schools and do not necessarily require single-family homes to meet their needs. There is a shortage of affordable units, and the units that are available can be out of reach for many people. To address our state’s needs, homeowners can construct an ADU on their lot or convert an underutilized part of their home into a JADU. This flexibility benefits both renters and homeowners who can receive extra monthly rent income.
ADUs also give homeowners the flexibility to share independent living areas with family members and others, allowing seniors to age in place as they require more care, thus helping extended families stay together while maintaining privacy. The space can be used for a variety of reasons, including adult children who can pay off debt and save up for living on their own.
New policies are making ADUs even more affordable to build, in part by limiting the development impact fees and relaxing zoning requirements. A 2019 study from the Terner Center on Housing Innovation noted that one unit of affordable housing in the Bay Area costs about $450,000. ADUs and JADUs can often be built at a fraction of that price and homeowners may use their existing lot to create additional housing, without being required to provide additional infrastructure. Often the rent generated from the ADU can pay for the entire project in a matter of years.
ADUs and JADUs are a flexible form of housing that can help Californians more easily access job-rich, highopportunity areas. By design, ADUs are more affordable and can provide additional income to homeowners. Local governments can encourage the development of ADUs and improve access to jobs, education, and services for many Californians.
Item 9A65
Summary of Recent Changes to Accessory
Dwelling Unit Laws
In Government Code Section 65852.150, the
California Legislature found and declared that, among
other things, allowing accessory dwelling units
(ADUs) in zones that allow single-family and
multifamily uses provides additional rental housing,
and is an essential component in addressing
California’s housing needs. Over the years, ADU law
has been revised to improve its effectiveness at
creating more housing units. Changes to ADU laws
effective January 1, 2021, further reduce barriers,
better streamline approval processes, and expand
capacity to accommodate the development of ADUs
and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs).
ADUs are a unique opportunity to address a variety of
housing needs and provide affordable housing
options for family members, friends, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, people with disabilities, and others. Further, ADUs offer an opportunity to maximize and integrate housing choices within existing neighborhoods.
Within this context, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has prepared this guidance to assist local governments, homeowners, architects, and the general public in encouraging the development of ADUs. The following is a summary of recent legislation that amended ADU law: AB 3182 (2020) and SB 13, AB 68, AB 881, AB 587, AB 670, and AB 671 (2019). Please see Attachment 1 for the complete statutory changes for AB 3182 (2020) and SB 13, AB 68, AB 881, AB 587, AB 670, and AB 671 (2019).
AB 3182 (Ting)
Chapter 198, Statutes of 2020 (Assembly Bill 3182) builds upon recent changes to ADU law (Gov. Code, § 65852.2 and Civil Code Sections 4740 and 4741) to further address barriers to the development and use of ADUs and JADUs.
This recent legislation, among other changes, addresses the following:
• States that an application for the creation of an ADU or JADU shall be deemed approved (not just subject to ministerial approval) if the local agency has not acted on the completed application within 60 days. • Requires ministerial approval of an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create one ADU and one JADU per lot (not one or the other), within the proposed or existing singlefamily dwelling, if certain conditions are met. • Provides for the rental or leasing of a separate interest ADU or JADU in a common interest development, notwithstanding governing documents that otherwise appear to prohibit renting or leasing of a unit, and without regard to the date of the governing documents.
Item 9A66
• Provides for not less than 25 percent of the separate interest units within a common interest development be allowed as rental or leasable units.
AB 68 (Ting), AB 881 (Bloom), and SB 13 (Wieckowski)
Chapter 653, Statutes of 2019 (Senate Bill 13, Section 3), Chapter 655, Statutes of 2019 (Assembly Bill 68, Section 2) and Chapter 659 (Assembly Bill 881, Section 1.5 and 2.5) build upon recent changes to ADU and JADU law (Gov. Code § 65852.2, 65852.22) and further address barriers to the development of ADUs and JADUs.
This legislation, among other changes, addresses the following:
• Prohibits local agencies from including in development standards for ADUs requirements on minimum lot size (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(B)(i)).
• Clarifies areas designated by local agencies for ADUs may be based on the adequacy of water and sewer services as well as impacts on traffic flow and public safety (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(A)). • Eliminates all owner-occupancy requirements by local agencies for ADUs approved between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2025 (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(6)). • Prohibits a local agency from establishing a maximum size of an ADU of less than 850 square feet, or 1,000 square feet if the ADU contains more than one bedroom and requires approval of a permit to build an ADU of up to 800 square feet (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (c)(2)(B) & (C)). • Clarifies that when ADUs are created through the conversion of a garage, carport or covered parking structure, replacement of offstreet parking spaces cannot be required by the local agency (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(D)(xi)).
• Reduces the maximum ADU and JADU application review time from 120 days to 60 days (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(3) and (b)).
• Clarifies that “public transit” includes various means of transportation that charge set fees, run on fixed routes and are available to the public (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (j)(10)). • Establishes impact fee exemptions and limitations based on the size of the ADU. ADUs up to 750 square feet are exempt from impact fees (Gov. Code § 65852.2, subd. (f)(3)); ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger may be charged impact fees but only such fees that are proportional in size (by square foot) to those for the primary dwelling unit (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (f)(3)). • Defines an “accessory structure” to mean a structure that is accessory or incidental to a dwelling on the same lot as the ADU (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (j)(2)). • Authorizes HCD to notify the local agency if HCD finds that their ADU ordinance is not in compliance with state law (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (h)(2)).
• Clarifies that a local agency may identify an ADU or JADU as an adequate site to satisfy Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) housing needs (Gov. Code, §§ 65583.1, subd. (a), and 65852.2, subd. (m)). • Permits JADUs even where a local agency has not adopted an ordinance expressly authorizing them (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (a)(3), (b), and (e)).
Item 9A67
• Allows a permitted JADU to be constructed within the walls of the proposed or existing single-family residence and eliminates the required inclusion of an existing bedroom or an interior entry into the singlefamily residence (Gov. Code § 65852.22, subd. (a)(4); former Gov. Code § 65852.22, subd. (a)(5)). • Requires, upon application and approval, a local agency to delay enforcement against a qualifying substandard ADU for five (5) years to allow the owner to correct the violation, so long as the violation is not a health and safety issue, as determined by the enforcement agency (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (n); Health & Safety Code, § 17980.12).
AB 587 (Friedman), AB 670 (Friedman), and AB 671 (Friedman) In addition to the legislation listed above, AB 587 (Chapter 657, Statutes of 2019), AB 670 (Chapter 178, Statutes of 2019), and AB 671 (Chapter 658, Statutes of 2019) also have an impact on state ADU law, particularly through Health and Safety Code Section 17980.12. These pieces of legislation, among other changes, address the following:
• AB 587 creates a narrow exemption to the prohibition for ADUs to be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the primary dwelling by allowing deed-restricted sales to occur if the local agency adopts an ordinance. To qualify, the primary dwelling and the ADU are to be built by a qualified nonprofit corporation whose mission is to provide units to low-income households (Gov. Code, § 65852.26). • AB 670 provides that covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that either effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the construction or use of an ADU or JADU on a lot zoned for single-family residential use are void and unenforceable (Civ, Code, § 4751). • AB 671 requires local agencies’ housing elements to include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for very low, low-, or moderate-income households and requires HCD to develop a list of state grants and financial incentives in connection with the planning, construction and operation of affordable ADUs (Gov. Code, § 65583; Health & Safety Code, § 50504.5). .

a. Should a local ordinance
encourage the
development of
accessory dwelling units?
Yes. Pursuant to Government Code
Section 65852.150, the California
Legislature found and declared that,
among other things, California is facing
a severe housing crisis and ADUs are
a valuable form of housing that meets
the needs of family members,
students, the elderly, in-home health
care providers, people with disabilities
and others. Therefore, ADUs are an
essential component of California’s
housing supply.
ADU law and recent changes intend to
address barriers, streamline approval,
1 Note: Unless otherwise noted, the Government Code section referenced is 65852.2.
Government Code 65852.150:
(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) Accessory dwelling units are a valuable form of housing in California.
(2) Accessory dwelling units provide housing for family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and others, at below market prices within existing neighborhoods. (3) Homeowners who create accessory dwelling units benefit from added income, and an increased sense of security.
(4) Allowing accessory dwelling units in single-family or multifamily residential zones provides additional rental housing stock in California.
(5) California faces a severe housing crisis.
(6) The state is falling far short of meeting current and future housing demand with serious consequences for the state’s economy, our ability to build green infill consistent with state greenhouse gas reduction goals, and the well-being of our citizens, particularly lower and middle-income earners. (7) Accessory dwelling units offer lower cost housing to meet the needs of existing and future residents within existing
neighborhoods, while respecting architectural character. (8) Accessory dwelling units are, therefore, an essential component of California’s housing supply.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that an accessory dwelling unit ordinance adopted by a local agency has the effect of providing for the creation of accessory dwelling units and that provisions in this ordinance relating to matters including unit size, parking, fees, and other requirements, are not so arbitrary, excessive, or burdensome so as to unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners to create accessory dwelling units in zones in which they are authorized by local ordinance.
Item 9A69
and expand potential capacity for ADUs, recognizing their unique importance in addressing California’s housing needs. The preparation, adoption, amendment, and implementation of local ADU ordinances must be carried out consistent with Government Code, Section 65852.150 and must not unduly constrain the creation of ADUs. Local governments adopting ADU ordinances should carefully weigh the adoption of zoning, development standards, and other provisions for impacts on the development of ADUs.
In addition, ADU law is the statutory minimum requirement. Local governments may elect to go beyond this statutory minimum and further the creation of ADUs. Many local governments have embraced the importance of ADUs as an important part of their overall housing policies and have pursued innovative strategies. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (g)).
2. Zoning, Development and Other Standards
A) Zoning and Development Standards
• Are ADUs allowed jurisdiction wide?
No. ADUs proposed pursuant to subdivision (e) must be considered in any residential or mixed-use zone.
For other ADUs, local governments may, by ordinance, designate areas in zones where residential uses are permitted that will also permit ADUs. However, any limits on where ADUs are permitted may only be based on the adequacy of water and sewer service, and the impacts on traffic flow and public safety.
Further, local governments may not preclude the creation of ADUs altogether, and any limitation should be accompanied by detailed findings of fact explaining why ADU limitations are required and consistent with these factors.
Examples of public safety include severe fire hazard areas and inadequate water and sewer service and includes cease and desist orders. Impacts on traffic flow should consider factors like lesser car ownership rates for ADUs and the potential for ADUs to be proposed pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (e). Finally, local governments may develop alternative procedures, standards, or special conditions with mitigations for allowing ADUs in areas with potential health and safety concerns. (Gov.
Code, § 65852.2, subd. (e))
Residential or mixed-use zone should be construed broadly to mean any zone where residential uses are permitted by-right or by conditional use.
• Can a local government apply design and development standards? Yes. A local government may apply development and design standards that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, maximum size of a unit, and standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources.
However, these standards shall be sufficiently objective to allow ministerial review of an ADU. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(B)(i))
ADUs created under subdivision (e) of Government Code 65852.2 shall not be subject to design and development standards except for those that are noted in the subdivision.
Item 9A70
What does objective mean?
“objective zoning standards” and “objective design review standards” mean standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. Gov Code § 65913.4, subd. (a)(5) ADUs that do not meet objective and ministerial development and design standards may still be permitted through an ancillary discretionary process if the applicant chooses to do so. Some jurisdictions with compliant ADU ordinances apply additional processes to further the creation of ADUs that do not otherwise comply with the minimum standards necessary for ministerial review. Importantly, these processes are intended to provide additional opportunities to create ADUs that would not otherwise be permitted, and a discretionary process may not be used to review ADUs that are fully compliant with ADU law. Examples of these processes include areas where additional health and safety concerns must be considered, such as fire risk.
• Can ADUs exceed general plan and zoning densities?
Yes. An ADU is an accessory use for the purposes of calculating allowable density under the general plan and zoning that does not count toward the allowable density. For example, if a zoning district allows one unit per 7,500 square feet, then an ADU would not be counted as an additional unit. Further, local governments could elect to allow more than one ADU on a lot, and ADUs are automatically a residential use deemed consistent with the general plan and zoning. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(C).) • Are ADUs permitted ministerially?
Yes. ADUs must be considered, approved, and permitted ministerially, without discretionary action.
Development and other decision-making standards must be sufficiently objective to allow for ministerial review. Examples include numeric and fixed standards such as heights or setbacks, or design standards such as colors or materials. Subjective standards require judgement and can be interpreted in multiple ways such as privacy, compatibility with neighboring properties or promoting harmony and balance in the community; subjective standards shall not be imposed for ADU development. Further, ADUs must not be subject to a hearing or any ordinance regulating the issuance of variances or special use permits and must be considered ministerially. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(3).) • Can I create an ADU if I have multiple detached dwellings on a lot? Yes. A lot where there are currently multiple detached single-family dwellings is eligible for creation of one ADU per lot by converting space within the proposed or existing space of a single-family dwelling or existing structure or a new construction detached ADU subject to certain development standards. • Can I build an ADU in a historic district, or if the primary residence is subject to historic preservation?
Yes. ADUs are allowed within a historic district, and on lots where the primary residence is subject to historic preservation. State ADU law allows for a local agency to impose standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources. However, these standards do not apply to ADUs proposed pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (e).
Item 9A71
As with non-historic resources, a jurisdiction may impose objective and ministerial standards that are sufficiently objective to be reviewed ministerially and do not unduly burden the creation of ADUs.
Jurisdictions are encouraged to incorporate these standards into their ordinance and submit these standards along with their ordinance to HCD. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (a)(1)(B)(i) & (a)(5).) B) Size Requirements
• Is there a minimum lot size requirement?
No. While local governments may impose standards on ADUs, these standards shall not include minimum lot size requirements. Further, lot coverage requirements cannot preclude the creation of a statewide exemption ADU (800 square feet ADU with a height limitation of 16 feet and 4 feet side and rear yard setbacks). If lot coverage requirements do not allow such an ADU, an automatic exception or waiver should be given to appropriate development standards such as lot coverage, floor area or open space requirements. Local governments may continue to enforce building and health and safety standards and may consider design, landscape, and other standards to facilitate compatibility.
What is a statewide exemption ADU?
A statewide exemption ADU is an ADU of up to 800 square feet, 16 feet in height, as potentially limited by a local agency, and with 4 feet side and rear yard setbacks. ADU law requires that no lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, or minimum lot size will preclude the construction of a statewide exemption ADU.
Further, ADU law allows the construction of a detached new construction statewide exemption ADU to be combined on the same lot with a JADU in a single-family residential zone. In addition, ADUs are allowed in any residential or mixed uses regardless of zoning and development standards imposed in an ordinance.
See more discussion below.
• Can minimum and maximum unit sizes be established for ADUs? Yes. A local government may, by ordinance, establish minimum and maximum unit size requirements for both attached and detached ADUs. However, maximum unit size requirements must be at least 850 square feet and 1,000 square feet for ADUs with more than one bedroom. For local agencies without an ordinance, maximum unit sizes are 1,200 square feet for a new detached ADU and up to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling for an attached ADU (at least 800 square feet). Finally, the local agency must not establish by ordinance a minimum square footage requirement that prohibits an efficiency unit, as defined in Health and Safety Code section 17958.1.
The conversion of an existing accessory structure or a portion of the existing primary residence to an ADU is not subject to size requirements. For example, an existing 3,000 square foot barn converted to an ADU would not be subject to the size requirements, regardless if a local government has an adopted ordinance.
Should an applicant want to expand an accessory structure to create an ADU beyond 150 square feet, this ADU would be subject to the size maximums outlined in state ADU law, or the local agency’s adopted ordinance.
• Can a percentage of the primary dwelling be used for a maximum unit size? Yes. Local agencies may utilize a percentage (e.g., 50 percent) of the primary dwelling as a maximum unit size for attached or detached ADUs but only if it does not restrict an ADU’s size to less than the standard of at least 850 square feet (or at least 1000 square feet for ADUs with more than one bedroom). Local agencies must not, by ordinance, establish any other minimum or maximum unit sizes, including based on Item 9A72
a percentage of the primary dwelling, that precludes a statewide exemption ADU. Local agencies utilizing percentages of the primary dwelling as maximum unit sizes could consider multi-pronged standards to help navigate these requirements (e.g., shall not exceed 50 percent of the dwelling or 1,000 square feet, whichever is greater).
• Can maximum unit sizes exceed 1,200 square feet for ADUs? Yes. Maximum unit sizes, by ordinance, can exceed 1,200 square feet for ADUs. ADU law does not limit the authority of local agencies to adopt less restrictive requirements for the creation of ADUs (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (g)).
Larger unit sizes can be appropriate in a rural context or jurisdictions with larger lot sizes and is an important approach to creating a full spectrum of ADU housing choices.
C) Parking Requirements
• Can parking requirements exceed one space per unit or bedroom? No. Parking requirements for ADUs shall not exceed one parking space per unit or bedroom, whichever is less. These spaces may be provided as tandem parking on a driveway. Guest parking spaces shall not be required for ADUs under any circumstances.
What is Tandem Parking?
Tandem parking means two or more automobiles that are parked on a driveway or in any other location on a lot, lined up behind one another. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (a)(1)(D)(x)(I) and (j)(11).) Local agencies may choose to eliminate or reduce parking requirements for ADUs such as requiring zero or half a parking space per each ADU.
• Is flexibility for siting parking required?
Yes. Local agencies should consider flexibility when siting parking for ADUs. Offstreet parking spaces for the ADU shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the local agency or through tandem parking, unless specific findings are made. Specific findings must be based on specific site or regional topographical or fire and life safety conditions.
When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU, or converted to an ADU, the local agency shall not require that those offstreet parking spaces for the primary unit be replaced. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(D)(xi).) • Can ADUs be exempt from parking?
Yes. A local agency shall not impose ADU parking standards for any of the following, pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, subdivisions (d)(1-5) and (j)(10). (1) Accessory dwelling unit is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit.
Item 9A73
(2) Accessory dwelling unit is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. (3) Accessory dwelling unit is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure.
(4) When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the accessory dwelling unit.
(5) When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the accessory dwelling unit.
Note: For the purposes of state ADU law, a jurisdiction may use the designated areas where a car share vehicle may be accessed. Public transit is any location where an individual may access buses, trains, subways and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes and are available to the general public. Walking distance is defined as the pedestrian shed to reach public transit. Additional parking requirements to avoid impacts to public access may be required in the coastal zone.
D) Setbacks
• Can setbacks be required for ADUs?
Yes. A local agency may impose development standards, such as setbacks, for the creation of ADUs.
Setbacks may include front, corner, street, and alley setbacks. Additional setback requirements may be required in the coastal zone if required by a local coastal program. Setbacks may also account for utility easements or recorded setbacks. However, setbacks must not unduly constrain the creation of ADUs and cannot be required for ADUs proposed pursuant to subdivision (e). Further, a setback of no more than four feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an attached or detached ADU. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(D)(vii).)
A local agency may also allow the expansion of a detached structure being converted into an ADU when the existing structure does not have four-foot rear and side setbacks. A local agency may also allow the expansion area of a detached structure being converted into an ADU to have no setbacks, or setbacks of less than four feet, if the existing structure has no setbacks, or has setbacks of less than four feet. A local agency shall not require setbacks of more than four feet for the expanded area of a detached structure being converted into an ADU.
A local agency may still apply front yard setbacks for ADUs, but front yard setbacks cannot preclude a statewide exemption ADU and must not unduly constrain the creation of all types of ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (c).)
E) Height Requirements
• Is there a limit on the height of an ADU or number of stories? Not in state ADU law, but local agencies may impose height limits provided that the limit is no less than 16 feet. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(1)(B)(i).)
F) Bedrooms
• Is there a limit on the number of bedrooms?
Item 9A74
State ADU law does not allow for the limitation on the number of bedrooms of an ADU. A limit on the number of bedrooms could be construed as a discriminatory practice towards protected classes, such as familial status, and would be considered a constraint on the development of ADUs.
G) Impact Fees
• Can impact fees be charged for an ADU less than 750 square feet? No. An ADU is exempt from incurring impact fees from local agencies, special districts, and water corporations if less than 750 square feet. Should an ADU be 750 square feet or larger, impact fees shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the ADU to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.
What is “Proportionately”?
“Proportionately” is some amount that corresponds to a total amount, in this case, an impact fee for a single-family dwelling. For example, a 2,000 square foot primary dwelling with a proposed 1,000 square foot ADU could result in 50 percent of the impact fee that would be charged for a new primary dwelling on the same site. In all cases, the impact fee for the ADU must be less than the primary dwelling. Otherwise, the fee is not calculated proportionately. When utilizing proportions, careful consideration should be given to the impacts on costs, feasibility, and ultimately, the creation of ADUs. In the case of the example above, anything greater than 50 percent of the primary dwelling could be considered a constraint on the development of ADUs.
For purposes of calculating the fees for an ADU on a lot with a multifamily dwelling, the proportionality shall be based on the average square footage of the units within that multifamily dwelling structure. For ADUs converting existing space with a 150 square foot expansion, a total ADU square footage over 750 square feet could trigger the proportionate fee requirement. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (f)(3)(A).) • Can local agencies, special districts or water corporations waive impact fees? Yes. Agencies can waive impact and any other fees for ADUs. Also, local agencies may also use fee deferrals for applicants.
• Can school districts charge impact fees?
Yes. School districts are authorized but do not have to levy impact fees for ADUs greater than 500 square feet pursuant to Section 17620 of the Education Code. ADUs less than 500 square feet are not subject to school impact fees. Local agencies are encouraged to coordinate with school districts to carefully weigh the importance of promoting ADUs, ensuring appropriate nexus studies and appropriate fees to facilitate construction or reconstruction of adequate school facilities. • What types of fees are considered impact fees?
Impact fees charged for the construction of ADUs must be determined in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act and generally include any monetary exaction that is charged by a local agency in connection with the approval of an ADU, including impact fees, for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities relating to the ADU. A local agency, special district or water corporation shall not consider ADUs as a new residential use for the purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for Item 9A75
utilities, including water and sewer services. However, these provisions do not apply to ADUs that are constructed concurrently with a new single-family home. (Gov. Code, §§ 65852.2, subd. (f), and 66000) • Can I still be charged water and sewer connection fees? ADUs converted from existing space and JADUs shall not be considered by a local agency, special district or water corporation to be a new residential use for purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, unless constructed with a new single-family dwelling. The connection fee or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed ADU, based on its square footage or plumbing fixtures as compared to the primary dwelling. State ADU law does not cover monthly charge fees. (Gov.
Code, § 65852.2, subd. (f)(2)(A).)
H) Conversion of Existing Space in Single Family, Accessory and Multifamily Structures and Other Statewide Permissible ADUs (Subdivision (e)) • Are local agencies required to comply with subdivision (e)? Yes. All local agencies must comply with subdivision (e). This subdivision requires the ministerial approval of ADUs within a residential or mixed-use zone. The subdivision creates four categories of ADUs that should not be subject to other specified areas of ADU law, most notably zoning and development standards. For example, ADUs under this subdivision should not have to comply with lot coverage, setbacks, heights, and unit sizes. However, ADUs under this subdivision must meet the building code and health and safety requirements. The four categories of ADUs under subdivision (e) are:
b. One ADU and one JADU are permitted per lot within the existing or proposed space of a single-family dwelling, or a JADU within the walls of the single family residence, or an ADU within an existing accessory structure, that meets specified requirements such as exterior access and setbacks for fire and safety. c. One detached new construction ADU that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks. This ADU may be combined on the same lot with a JADU and may be required to meet a maximum unit size requirement of 800 square feet and a height limitation of 16 feet.
d. Multiple ADUs within the portions of multifamily structures that are not used as livable space. Local agencies must allow at least one of these types of ADUs and up to 25 percent of the existing multifamily structures. e. Up to two detached ADUs on a lot that has existing multifamily dwellings that are subject to height limits of 16 feet and 4-foot rear and side yard setbacks.
The above four categories are not required to be combined. For example, local governments are not required to allow (a) and (b) together or (c) and (d) together. However, local agencies may elect to allow these ADU types together.
Local agencies shall allow at least one ADU to be created within the non-livable space within multifamily dwelling structures, or up to 25 percent of the existing multifamily dwelling units within a structure and may also allow not more than two ADUs on the lot detached from the multifamily dwelling structure. New detached units are subject to height limits of 16 feet and shall not be required to have side and rear setbacks of more than four feet.
Item 9A76
The most common ADU that can be created under subdivision (e) is a conversion of proposed or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure into an ADU, without any prescribed size limitations, height, setback, lot coverage, architectural review, landscape, or other development standards.
This would enable the conversion of an accessory structure, such as a 2,000 square foot garage, to an ADU without any additional requirements other than compliance with building standards for dwellings.
These types of ADUs are also eligible for a 150 square foot expansion (see discussion below).
ADUs created under subdivision (e) shall not be required to provide replacement or additional parking.
Moreover, these units shall not, as a condition for ministerial approval, be required to correct any existing or created nonconformity. Subdivision (e) ADUs shall be required to be rented for terms longer than 30 days, and only require fire sprinklers if fire sprinklers are required for the primary residence. These ADUs shall not be counted as units when calculating density for the general plan and are not subject to owneroccupancy. • Can I convert my accessory structure into an ADU?
Yes. The conversion of garages, sheds, barns, and other existing accessory structures, either attached or detached from the primary dwelling, into ADUs is permitted and promoted through the state ADU law.
These conversions of accessory structures are not subject to any additional development standard, such as unit size, height, and lot coverage requirements, and shall be from existing space that can be made safe under building and safety codes. A local agency should not set limits on when the structure was created, and the structure must meet standards for health and safety. Finally, local governments may also consider the conversion of illegal existing space and could consider alternative building standards to facilitate the conversion of existing illegal space to minimum life and safety standards. • Can an ADU converting existing space be expanded?
Yes. An ADU created within the existing or proposed space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure can be expanded beyond the physical dimensions of the structure. In addition, an ADU created within an existing accessory structure may be expanded up to 150 square feet without application of local development standards, but this expansion shall be limited to accommodating ingress and egress. An example of where this expansion could be applicable is for the creation of a staircase to reach a second story ADU. These types of ADUs shall conform to setbacks sufficient for fire and safety.
A local agency may allow for an expansion beyond 150 square feet, though the ADU would have to comply with the size maximums as per state ADU law, or a local agency’s adopted ordinance.
As a JADU is limited to being created within the walls of a primary residence, this expansion of up to 150 square feet does not pertain to JADUs.
I) Nonconforming Zoning Standards
• Does the creation of an ADU require the applicant to carry out public improvements? No physical improvements shall be required for the creation or conversion of an ADU. Any requirement to carry out public improvements is beyond what is required for the creation of an ADU, as per state law. For example, an applicant shall not be required to improve sidewalks, carry out street improvements, or access improvements to create an ADU. Additionally, as a condition for ministerial approval of an ADU, an applicant shall not be required to correct nonconforming zoning conditions. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (e)(2).)
Item 9A77
J) Renter and Owner-occupancy
• Are rental terms required?
Yes. Local agencies may require that the property be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days. ADUs permitted ministerially, under subdivision (e), shall be rented for terms longer than 30 days. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (a)(6) & (e)(4).)
• Are there any owner-occupancy requirements for ADUs?
No. Prior to recent legislation, ADU laws allowed local agencies to elect whether the primary dwelling or ADU was required to be occupied by an owner. The updates to state ADU law removed the owneroccupancy allowance for newly created ADUs effective January 1, 2020. The new owner-occupancy exclusion is set to expire on December 31, 2024. Local agencies may not retroactively require owner occupancy for ADUs permitted between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2024.
However, should a property have both an ADU and JADU, JADU law requires owner-occupancy of either the newly created JADU, or the single-family residence. Under this specific circumstance, a lot with an ADU would be subject to owner-occupancy requirements. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (a)(2).) K) Fire Sprinkler Requirements
• Are fire sprinklers required for ADUs?
No. Installation of fire sprinklers may not be required in an ADU if sprinklers are not required for the primary residence. For example, a residence built decades ago would not have been required to have fire sprinklers installed under the applicable building code at the time. Therefore, an ADU created on this lot cannot be required to install fire sprinklers. However, if the same primary dwelling recently undergoes significant remodeling and is now required to have fire sprinklers, any ADU created after that remodel must likewise install fire sprinklers. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subds. (a)(1)(D)(xii) and (e)(3).) Please note, for ADUs created on lots with multifamily residential structures, the entire residential structure shall serve as the “primary residence” for the purposes of this analysis. Therefore, if the multifamily structure is served by fire sprinklers, the ADU can be required to install fire sprinklers.
L) Solar Panel Requirements
• Are solar panels required for new construction ADUs?
Yes, newly constructed ADUs are subject to the Energy Code requirement to provide solar panels if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, non-manufactured, detached ADU. Per the California Energy Commission (CEC), the panels can be installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling unit. ADUs that are constructed within existing space, or as an addition to existing homes, including detached additions where an existing detached building is converted from non-residential to residential space, are not subject to the Energy Code requirement to provide solar panels.
Item 9A78
Please refer to the CEC on this matter. For more information, see the CEC’s website www.energy.ca.gov.
You may email your questions to: [email protected], or contact the Energy Standards Hotline at 800- 772-3300. CEC memos can also be found on HCD’s website at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policyresearch/AccessoryDwellingUnits.shtml.
3. Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) – Government Code Section 65852.22 • Are two JADUs allowed on a lot?
No. A JADU may be created on a lot zoned for single-family residences with one primary dwelling. The JADU may be created within the walls of the proposed or existing single-family residence, including attached garages, as attached garages are considered within the walls of the existing single-family residence. Please note that JADUs created in the attached garage are not subject to the same parking protections as ADUs and could be required by the local agency to provide replacement parking.
JADUs are limited to one per residential lot with a single-family residence. Lots with multiple detached single-family dwellings are not eligible to have JADUs. (Gov. Code, § 65852.22, subd. (a)(1).) • Are JADUs allowed in detached accessory structures?
No, JADUs are not allowed in accessory structures. The creation of a JADU must be within the singlefamily residence. As noted above, attached garages are eligible for JADU creation. The maximum size for a JADU is 500 square feet. (Gov. Code, § 65852.22, subds. (a)(1), (a)(4), and (h)(1).) • Are JADUs allowed to be increased up to 150 square feet when created within an existing structure?
No. Only ADUs are allowed to add up to 150 square feet “beyond the physical dimensions of the existing accessory structure” to provide for ingress. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (e)(1)(A)(i).) This provision extends only to ADUs and excludes JADUs. A JADU is required to be created within the single-family residence.
• Are there any owner-occupancy requirements for JADUs? Yes. There are owner-occupancy requirements for JADUs. The owner must reside in either the remaining portion of the primary residence, or in the newly created JADU. (Gov. Code, § 65852.22, subd. (a)(2).)
4. Manufactured Homes and ADUs
• Are manufactured homes considered to be an ADU?
Yes. An ADU is any residential dwelling unit with independent facilities and permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation. An ADU includes a manufactured home (Health & Saf. Code, § 18007).
Item 9A79
5. ADUs and the Housing Element
• Do ADUs and JADUs count toward a local agency’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation? Yes. Pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2 subdivision (m), and section 65583.1, ADUs and JADUs may be utilized towards the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) and Annual Progress Report (APR) pursuant to Government Code section 65400. To credit a unit toward the RHNA, HCD and the Department of Finance (DOF) utilize the census definition of a housing unit. Generally, an ADU, and a JADU with shared sanitation facilities, and any other unit that meets the census definition, and is reported to DOF as part of the DOF annual City and County Housing Unit Change Survey, can be credited toward the RHNA based on the appropriate income level. The housing element or APR must include a reasonable methodology to demonstrate the level of affordability. Local governments can track actual or anticipated affordability to assure ADUs and JADUs are counted towards the appropriate income category. For example, some local governments request and track information such as anticipated affordability as part of the building permit or other applications.
• Is analysis required to count ADUs toward the RHNA in the housing element? Yes. To calculate ADUs in the housing element, local agencies must generally use a three-part approach:
(1) development trends, (2) anticipated affordability and (3) resources and incentives. Development trends must consider ADUs permitted in the prior planning period and may also consider more recent trends.
Anticipated affordability can use a variety of methods to estimate the affordability by income group.
Common approaches include rent surveys of ADUs, using rent surveys and square footage assumptions and data available through the APR pursuant to Government Code section 65400. Resources and incentives include policies and programs to encourage ADUs, such as prototype plans, fee waivers, expedited procedures and affordability monitoring programs. • Are ADUs required to be addressed in the housing element? Yes. The housing element must include a description of zoning available to permit ADUs, including development standards and analysis of potential constraints on the development of ADUs. The element must include programs as appropriate to address identified constraints. In addition, housing elements must Health and Safety Code section 18007, subdivision (a): “Manufactured home,” for the purposes of this part, means a structure that was constructed on or after June 15, 1976, is transportable in one or more sections, is eight body feet or more in width, or 40 body feet or more in length, in the traveling mode, or, when erected on site, is 320 or more square feet, is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a single-family dwelling with or without a foundation when connected to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. “Manufactured home” includes any structure that meets all the requirements of this paragraph except the size requirements and with respect to which the manufacturer voluntarily files a certification and complies with the standards established under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C., Sec. 5401, and following).
Item 9A80
include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for very low, low-, or moderate-income households and requires HCD to develop a list of state grants and financial incentives in connection with the planning, construction and operation of affordable ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 65583 and Health & Saf. Code, § 50504.5.)
6. Homeowners Association
• Can my local Homeowners Association (HOA) prohibit the construction of an ADU or JADU?
No. Assembly Bill 670 (2019) and AB 3182 (2020) amended Section 4751, 4740, and 4741 of the Civil Code to preclude common interest developments from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting the construction or use, including the renting or leasing of, an ADU on a lot zoned for single-family residential use. Covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) that either effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the construction or use of an ADU or JADU on such lots are void and unenforceable or may be liable for actual damages and payment of a civil penalty. Applicants who encounter issues with creating ADUs or JADUs within CC&Rs are encouraged to reach out to HCD for additional guidance.
7. Enforcement
• Does HCD have enforcement authority over ADU ordinances? Yes. After adoption of the ordinance, HCD may review and submit written findings to the local agency as to whether the ordinance complies with state ADU law. If the local agency’s ordinance does not comply, HCD must provide a reasonable time, no longer than 30 days, for the local agency to respond, and the local agency shall consider HCD’s findings to amend the ordinance to become compliant. If a local agency does not make changes and implements an ordinance that is not compliant with state law, HCD may refer the matter to the Attorney General.
In addition, HCD may review, adopt, amend, or repeal guidelines to implement uniform standards or criteria that supplement or clarify ADU law.
8. Other
• Are ADU ordinances existing prior to new 2020 laws null and void? No. Ordinances existing prior to the new 2020 laws are only null and void to the extent that existing ADU ordinances conflict with state law. Subdivision (a)(4) of Government Code Section 65852.2 states an ordinance that fails to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) shall be null and void and shall apply the state standards (see Attachment 3) until a compliant ordinance is adopted. However, ordinances that substantially comply with ADU law may continue to enforce the existing ordinance to the extent it complies with state law. For example, local governments may continue the compliant provisions of an ordinance and apply the state standards where pertinent until the ordinance is amended or replaced to fully comply with ADU law. At the same time, ordinances that are fundamentally incapable of being enforced because key provisions are invalid -- meaning there is not a reasonable way to sever conflicting provisions and apply the remainder of an ordinance in a way that is consistent with state law -- would be fully null and void and must follow all state standards until a compliant ordinance is adopted.
Item 9A81
• Do local agencies have to adopt an ADU ordinance?
No. Local governments may choose not to adopt an ADU ordinance. Should a local government choose to not adopt an ADU ordinance, any proposed ADU development would be only subject to standards set in state ADU law. If a local agency adopts an ADU ordinance, it may impose zoning, development, design, and other standards in compliance with state ADU law. (See Attachment 4 for a state standards checklist.) • Is a local government required to send an ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)?
Yes. A local government, upon adoption of an ADU ordinance, must submit a copy of the adopted ordinance to HCD within 60 days after adoption. After the adoption of an ordinance, the Department may review and submit written findings to the local agency as to whether the ordinance complies with this section. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (h)(1).)
Local governments may also submit a draft ADU ordinance for preliminary review by HCD. This provides local agencies the opportunity to receive feedback on their ordinance and helps to ensure compliance with the new state ADU law.
• Are charter cities and counties subject to the new ADU laws? Yes. ADU law applies to a local agency which is defined as a city, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered. (Gov. Code, § 65852.2, subd. (j)(5)).
Further, pursuant to Chapter 659, Statutes of 2019 (AB 881), the Legislature found and declared ADU law as “…a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair, as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution” and concluded that ADU law applies to all cities, including charter cities.
• Do the new ADU laws apply to jurisdictions located in the Coastal Zone? Yes. ADU laws apply to jurisdictions in the Coastal Zone, but do not necessarily alter or lessen the effect or application of Coastal Act resource protection policies. (Gov. Code, § 65852.22, subd. (l)).
Coastal localities should seek to harmonize the goals of protecting coastal resources and addressing housing needs of Californians. For example, where appropriate, localities should amend Local Coastal Programs for California Coastal Commission review to comply with the California Coastal Act and new ADU laws. For more information, see the California Coastal Commission 2020 Memo and reach out to the locality’s local Coastal Commission district office.
• What is considered a multifamily dwelling?
For the purposes of state ADU law, a structure with two or more attached dwellings on a single lot is considered a multifamily dwelling structure. Multiple detached single-unit dwellings on the same lot are not considered multifamily dwellings for the purposes of state ADU law.
