PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the draft Housing Element Update (HEU), including opportunity sites and housing programs, as well as associated amendments to the City’s Land Use Element of the General Plan; introduce ordinances (Attachment 2) to codify the associated amendments in Chapters 70.130, 80.00, 86.04, 86.08, 86.09, 86.10, 86.14, 86.18, 86.34, 86.42, 86.55, 86.56, and 86.58 of the Coronado Municipal Code; the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (OACSP); and the Coronado Local Coastal Program. Further determine that the project has been prepared consistent with the terms of a judgment entered by the Superior Court of San Diego County and therefore is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and adopt the Environmental Assessment prepared pursuant to Government Code Section 65759 and incorporate the same by reference into the General Plan, and authorize the City Manager to take any and all necessary actions to effectuate the adoption of the housing element for certification including submittal of the Draft Revised Housing Element Update to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the California Coastal Commission (Attachment 1).

BACKGROUND:

The Housing Element is one of seven state-mandated elements included in the City’s General Plan and is the only one required to be updated periodically. Its purpose is to identify and plan for existing and projected housing needs in the region within the eight-year planning cycle. The City is required to update the Housing Element to address the 2021-2029 planning period.

California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is responsible for allocating a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to SANDAG, which is the total number of new dwelling units that must be planned for the region across different income affordability levels. SANDAG then allocated a RHNA of 912 units to Coronado broken down into the following affordability categories:

Moderate

2021-2029 RHNA 481 159 272 912
In July 2021, the City Council adopted a Housing Element Update (HEU) for the 2021-2029 planning period (6th Cycle). However, HCD did not certify that document as they determined it did not substantially comply with Housing Element Law. The City has since prepared a significantly revised Draft HEU.

In October 2023, acting through the Attorney General’s Office, the State of California and HCD filed a petition for writ of mandate and declaratory relief against the City for its failure to adopt a Housing Element that HCD found to be substantially compliant with state law. The State and the City agreed to the terms of a stipulated judgment, which was accepted by the Superior Court of San Diego County on November 8, 2023. The judgment requires the City to adopt an updated HEU and associated implementing actions by April 16, 2024 and submit the same to HCD by April 17, 2024.

On October 12, 2023, the City held a public workshop to present the Draft Housing Element Update to the community, including proposed opportunity sites. City staff receive comments and feedback from the community prior to the City Council meeting to request authorization to submit the HEU to HCD.

At their October 17, 2023 regular meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to take any and all actions necessary to effectuate timely adoption of the housing element for certification and to submit the draft HEU to HCD. There were multiple actions taken over the following months which are outlined below:

November 13, 2023: HCD provided preliminary comments
November 21, 2023: City staff met with HCD staff to go over comments November 28, 2023: HCD provided revised preliminary comments to the City December 1, 2023: City released a revised Draft HEU addressing HCDs preliminary comments December 15, 2023: HCD provided an official findings letter with required revisions December 21, 2023: City staff met with HCD staff to go over their official findings letter January 2, 2024: City released a revised Draft HEU for public review January 12, 2024: Revised Draft HEU addressing public comments released January 17, 2024: Revised Draft HEU submitted to HCD
March 5, 2024: HCD provided an official findings letter with required revisions March 7, 2024: City staff met with HCD staff to go over their official findings letter March 12, 2024: City staff met with HCD staff to refine specific language in the Draft HEU On March 26, 2024, the City’s Planning Commission held a public hearing to make a recommendation to the City Council on the Housing Element Update and associated amendments. After considering public testimony the Commission voted 3-0 to recommend that the City Council deny the Housing Element Update and all associated amendments (Attachment City of Coronado Page 5
12). Public comments submitted to the Planning Commission can be found in attachment 13.

ANALYSIS:

To have a compliant HEU, Coronado must plan for and show that it can accommodate 912 units spread across the different income categories. In addition to the RHNA of 912, the City must also comply with the State’s ‘No Net Loss’ requirement. ‘No Net Loss’ requires cities to continually maintain their housing sites inventory as properties are developed to show that the RHNA can be achieved during the planning period. Should a site identified in the HEU to provide affordable housing be developed with market rate units, or fewer units than anticipated, the City would have to show there are still adequate sites to provide the number of required affordable units. As a result of this requirement, HCD expects to see a 15% buffer beyond the assigned RHNA.

The Draft HEU meets the assigned RHNA plus the “No Net Loss” buffer through a four-pronged approach as shown below that includes: (1) Entitled or Proposed Projects (Pipeline); (2) Accessory Dwelling Units and Carriage House Conversions; (3) Navy Housing; and (4) Opportunity Sites.

Alternative Methods to Meet the RHNA (Credits)
1HCD recommends a 15% buffer for lower-income (very low and low) sites to protect the City from the No Net Loss provision. The City Included a buffer for the moderate- and above moderate-income levels for the same reason. The City calculated its buffer as a percentage of the gross RHNA. 2As determined by HCD Enforcement Division in coordination with the US Navy and the City of Coronado. 3Not including the Navy Housing Units City of Coronado Page 6
to be used towards the RHNA. This is a mix of market-rate projects that are currently either completed, under construction, approved for construction, or proposed for construction. It is anticipated that all 146 units will be built during the planning period and can therefore be credited towards the City’s RHNA.
(2) Accessory Dwelling Units and Carriage House Conversions The City expects to be able to credit a total of 195 ADUs towards its RHNA. This number was determined using previous ADU development data as well as proposed policies to encourage more ADU development. Proposed policies found in the Accessory Dwelling Unit Program (H-1.A.) include various concessions and/or waivers to encourage ADUs to be deed-restricted to lower income levels, which allows the City to credit 117 ADUs at the lower income level and 25 at the moderate income level with the remaining 53 as market rate units.

Additionally, the City has allowed for single family zoned parcels with alley access to build a carriage house above a detached garage. When originally constructed it was anticipated these would not be separate dwelling units and property owners were required to sign a covenant prohibiting installation of a kitchen and rental of the carriage house. There are approximately 129 carriage houses in Coronado. The HEU assumes adding kitchen facilities to 80% of the existing carriage houses, allowing the City to credit 103 carriage house units towards the RHNA. Through various incentives found in the Carriage House Program (H-4. A.) the HEU assumes 72 unit would be available to lower income levels.
(3) Navy Housing The Navy has secured funding to construct a housing development for 600 enlisted personnel that equates to a total of 374 housing units on Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. 305 units are to be considered lower income, with 69 attributable to the moderateincome level. This development is anticipated to occur within the planning period. (4) Opportunity Sites After accounting for the pipeline projects, ADU/Carriage house conversions, and Navy housing there is still a need for additional units to achieve the required RHNA plus No Net Loss buffer. In order to achieve that nine additional sites that could accommodate future housing were identified. Note that HCD requirements call for privately owned sites to be a minimum 0.5 acres in size, and most properties in Coronado do not meet that threshold. Site details can be found in Section 7 of the Revised Draft HEU (Attachment 3). A general description follows:

Site 1 – 919 C Avenue: The property owner has expressed an interest in developing affordable housing on this property. It is currently zoned R-3 allowing 28 dwelling units per acre and is proposed to be rezoned to R-4 which would allow up to 40 dwelling units per acre. The City is assuming 19 lower income units on the site, as well as retention of the church-related thrift store and school programming.

Site 2 – 517 Orange Avenue: This is a City-owned property improved with a duplex. It is currently zoned R-4 allowing 40 dwelling units per acre, or a total of three for this site. The goal is to provide a total of two-three units affordable to lower income tenants.

Site 3 – 1224 Tenth Street: This property is currently zoned Commercial and is improved with a two-story office building with tuck-under and surface parking. Currently no dwelling units are allowed on this property but proposed amendments, specifically the addition of the Housing Element Opportunity Site Overlay Zone, would allow both commercial and residential uses, with up to 40 dwelling units per acre. The City is assuming eight above-moderate income units and three lower-income units.

City of Coronado Page 7
Site 4 – 1001 C Avenue: This property is currently zoned Commercial and is improved with a onestory retail building with a mix of uses and surface parking. Currently no dwelling units are allowed on this property but proposed amendments, specifically the addition of the Housing Element Opportunity Site Overlay Zone, would allow both commercial and residential uses, with up to 40 dwelling units per acre. The City is assuming eight above-moderate income units and three lowerincome units.

Site 5 – 150 B Avenue: This property is currently zoned Commercial and is improved with a Smart and Final grocery store, a two-story commercial building, and a large surface parking lot. Currently no dwelling units are allowed on this property but proposed amendments, specifically the addition of the Housing Element Opportunity Site Overlay Zone, would allow both commercial and residential uses, with up to 40 dwelling units per acre. The City is assuming 43 above-moderate income units, 15 lower income units, and will still allow for commercial uses with the goal of including a grocery store component in any future development.

Site 6 – 149 A Avenue: This property is currently zoned R-PCD (Residential – Planned Community Development) and is improved with a surface parking lot serving the adjacent Bayside Apartments. Chapter 86.42 is proposed to be updated to allow up to 60 dwelling units per acre. the City is assuming 23 above-moderate income units and 15 lower income units.

Site 7 – 1515 Second Street: This property is currently zoned R-PCD (Residential – Planned Community Development) and is improved with the Bayside Apartments, a development of multiple three-story buildings with 549 apartments. Chapter 86.42 is proposed to be updated to allow up to 60 dwelling units per acre. The City is assuming 100 above-moderate income units, 55 moderate income units, and 12 lower income units.

Site 8 – 700 Orange: This property is currently zoned Civic Use, with a small portion zoned R-4, and is the site of the City’s Police Department and an underutilized AT&T switching facility building. The zoning is proposed to allow up to 40 dwelling units per acre and the City is assuming a total of 47 lower income units that could be incorporated into a new Police Department facility on the site.

Site 9 – 201 Sixth Street: This site is owned by the school district, is currently zoned Civic Use, and is improved with a childcare and Pre-K center. The Zoning is proposed to allow up to 40 dwelling units per acre and the City is assuming 34 moderate income units and 67 lower income units.

Housing Element Update Programs: The draft Housing Element Update includes five Housing Goals with a series of programs and policies to further those various goals that can be found in section 8 of the plan. The five goals and a sampling of their programs follow:

Housing Goal #1: Provide a broad range of housing opportunities to increase the housing options available to individuals.

The City would achieve this through outreach on ADU development, potential fee waivers for ADU development with a low or moderate affordability restriction, and waiving parking requirements for ADUs restricted to extremely low, very low-, or low-income levels. A program calling for updates to the General Plan and Zoning documents to match what is proposed in the HEU is also included under this goal.

City of Coronado Page 8
Housing Goal #2: Provide a broad range of affordable housing opportunities that serve the needs of people who work and live in Coronado.

Programs to further this goal include increasing the affordable housing in-lieu fee, supporting grant applications for the County and affordable housing developers, and reducing the parking requirement of affordable units to one space.

Housing Goal #3: Affirmatively further fair housing and provide equal housing opportunities that are accessible to all segments of the Coronado community.

Programs to further this goal include pursuing grant opportunities for affordable housing development, and to develop financial and regulatory incentives for affordable and/or senior housing that may include reduced parking and waiving City development impact fees. Programs also call for partnering with other government and non-government organizations to review housing discrimination complaints, including the County of San Diego and the Legal Aid Society of San Diego.

Housing Goal #4: Conservation and maintenance of Coronado’s housing stock, neighborhoods, and history.

Programs to further this goal include promoting carriage house conversions and advertising programs such as the Home Repair program administered by the County.

Housing Goal #5: Minimize governmental constraints to the development, improvement, and maintenance of housing, particularly affordable housing, or housing accessible to persons with disabilities.

Programs to further this goal include streamlining affordable housing developments and updating City codes to align with State requirements for Low Barrier navigation centers and group homes.

These programs were developed through consultation with HCD, and are considered requirements to achieving Housing Element certification from HCD and are in response to their official findings letter (Attachment 10). The City’s response to HCDs letters is summarized in a matrix found in Attachment 11. Staff has prepared proposed amendments to each of these documents which are provided in track changes. The significant amendments are summarized below, a table of the changes can be found in Attachment 4, and all amendments can be read in their entirety in redline format in Attachments 5 through 8. Staff wanted to highlight the major changes required by HCD that you will find in the draft HEU and associated General Plan and Code amendments.

Parking: In order to incentivize development of affordable units and ADUs, parking standards would be reduced to require one uncovered space per each affordable unit, as well as all studio and one-bedroom units. Staff originally proposed that parking reductions be limited to affordable units, but HCD required it be applied to all future multi-family developments. ADUs that are deed restricted to be affordable to low, very low, and extremely low-income households would also not be required to provide parking.

ADUs: Changes are proposed that would bring the City’s ADU standards into compliance with current state law, which include changes to the height and setback requirements. Additionally, carriage houses that comply with the current carriage house standards would be allowed to City of Coronado Page 9
convert to an ADU by installing a kitchen and sanitation facilities while still complying with all other carriage house standards. Carriage house conversions will be required to provide one parking space unless they are deed restricted to low, very low, or extremely low-income households. The City will also commit to prepare pre-approved ADU plans that can be used by property owners in accordance with Assembly Bill 1332.

Zoning: A new Housing Element Opportunity Site Overlay Zone has been drafted to be added as Chapter 86.34 of the Zoning Ordinance. It aims to encourage new housing that is affordable to lower-income households with alternative development standards for projects that meet affordability criteria. Two subzones are included (HE-1 and HE-2), each with unique development standard allowing development up to four stories in height and reduced setbacks. Additionally, this chapter includes a ‘By-Right Approval Process” for projects that are on properties that were either upzoned through the HEU or are non-vacant properties that were included in the previous HEU, as required by Gov’t Code Section 65583.2.

Height and Story Limits: HCD staff has identified the City’s height limits in the R-3 and R-4 zone are a constraint on housing development. In their letter dated March 5, 2024 (Attachment 10) they state the existing height limits are “a constraint to development, affordability, supply, and achieving maximum densities.” In follow up conversations with HCD, City presented analysis demonstrating that developing a property to maximum density it is more a product of design and unit size and staff provided examples of recent multi-family development in Coronado that has been able to achieve maximum density within existing height and story limits. However, HCD staff was unwavering. As a result, the Housing Element includes a program to address the development standards limiting building heights. Specifically, the program proposes code changes to increase the allowable stories and height limit for the R-3 zone from 2 stories and 33- feet to 3 stories and 36 feet. Opportunity sites in the R-4 zone would see an increase to the existing story limitation from 3 to 4 stories and allowing height up to 42 feet where 35 is required today. The opportunity sites in the R-PCD zone will also see increased height limits up to 50 feet and five stories where it is limited to 40-feet today. As required by HCD, the HEU also includes a program that requires the City to present a ballot measure to City voters that, if approved would amend the height limitation in 1972’s Proposition R to allow four stories elsewhere in the R-4 zone (with a height limit of 40-42 feet outside of the opportunity sites).

Design Review: HCD felt that some of the City’s existing Design Review findings were subjective and don’t promote objectivity or certainty in the design review process. As a result, a program is proposed to establish objective design standards for multi-family and mixed-use residential development with the main goal of removing subjectivity from the design review process for housing projects. The implication of this program is that multi-family residential and mixed-use projects would no longer be subject to review by the Design Review Commission, because the City would have uniformly applicable design standards to regulate future development.

Maps: The City currently has a Zoning Map but does not have a General Plan Designation Map.

A new General Plan Designation Map has been created and the Zoning Map was updated to identify the new Housing Element Opportunity Sites Overlay zone. The Zoning Map was also updated to change the zoning for Opportunity Site 1 (919 C Avenue) from R-3 to R-4 to allow residential development at up to 40 dwelling units per acre.

Continuing Administration: The programs found in Section 8 of the HEU have been drafted in consultation with HCD staff and, after many edits and negotiations, have reached a point where staff believes HCD can certify the HEU. However, it should be noted that many programs will require staff time and resources throughout the remainder of the 2021-2029 planning period. This City of Coronado Page 10
includes education and outreach to multiple groups on an annual basis through community meetings, print or online materials, or smaller stakeholder groups. Various monitoring programs will be established to track progress and effectiveness of the HEU measures. And the preparation of pre-approved ADU plans and objective design standards through a community outreach process will also be required. While some education and outreach efforts can be combined, it will still occupy a decent amount of staff time.

NEXT STEPS:

Should City Council adopt the HEU and proposed amendments and give authorization to submit the revised draft HEU to HCD the next steps would be as follows:

1. Conduct a second reading to adopt the ordinances to update the City’s Municipal Code at the next Council Meeting.

2. Submit Local Coastal Program Amendments to the California Coastal Commission for review and certification.

FISCAL IMPACT:

On February 21, 2023, the City Council authorized an Agreement for Professional Services with Harris and Associates for the revised Coronado Housing Element Update and associated environmental review. The contract amount was for $925,000. A subsequent amendment to include the required General Plan/Zoning Code amendments was processed for Harris and Associated to use a subconsultant, Ben Noble Planning, to prepare these amendments for an additional $63,618 for a total contract cost of $988,618. Housing Elements are required by the State and are intended to effectuate State policy. Some State and SANDAG funding is contingent upon a State-certified Housing Element. Without a certified Housing Element, Coronado is not eligible to receive these funds. Additionally, if found out of compliance the State can suspend the City’s authority to issue building permits, grant zone changes or variances, or grant subdivision map approvals, and can fine the City up to $100,000 per month. AB 72, passed in 2017, further strengthened State housing law by allowing for HCD to refer any non-compliance to the State Attorney General for enforcement. This happened when the State sued Huntington Beach in 2019 for removing capacity to build affordable housing units and forced them to rezone sites to provide adequate affordable housing.

ALTERNATIVE:

The City Council could direct staff to make changes to the HEU document, including sites and program language, or to the proposed code amendments before submitting to HCD. Note that any amendments would most likely make it impossible to submit an adopted HEU to HCD by the deadline of April 17, 2024 that is included in the Court’s judgment.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Government Code Section 65759, because the project consists of actions necessary to bring the City’s General Plan into conformance with state law under the terms of a judgment entered by the Superior Court of San Deigo on November 8, 2023. As provided in Government Code Section 65759, the City has prepared and Environmental Assessment (EA), the content of which substantially conforms to the required content for a draft environmental impact report set forth in Article 9 (commencing with Section 15140) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, to analyze potential environmental impacts from the project. The EA identifies mitigation measures that are required to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level related to Biology (preconstruction nesting bird survey), Cultural Resources (archaeological and Native American City of Coronado Page 11
monitor), Geology and Soils (fault study and geotechnical reports required prior to construction, and paleontological monitoring), Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Require project attributes to comply with the 2022 Scoping Plan design requirements, and Noise (vibration impact analysis).

If adopted by the City Council, the EA will be incorporated by reference into the City’s General Plan, and future development projects on Housing Element Opportunity Sites would be required to comply with these Mitigation Measures. All other impact areas are considered less than significant without mitigation. The EA can be found in Attachment 9.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

Multiple public notices have been prepared for this project. The General Plan Amendment notice was published in the Coronado Eagle & Journal on February 7, 2024, and was also mailed to all required agencies. A Local Coastal Program Amendment notice was published in the Coronado Eagle & Journal on February 28, 2024 and was also mailed to all required agencies.

86.08.010 Purpose and intent.

The purpose and intent of this chapter is to provide regulations that preserve and enhance the residential characteristics for those areas so designated on the zoning map of the City. The R-1A Zone is intended to provide for communities consisting of single-family dwelling buildings with a minimum gross lot size of 7,500, 6,600, 6,000 or 5,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit (six to eight dwelling units per acre), except that single-family dwelling buildings or duplexes may be placed on a minimum lot size of 5,250 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit in those areas more specifically described in this chapter. (Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.08.020 Permitted and accessory uses.

The following principal uses shall be allowed in the R-1A Zone:

A. One single-family dwelling building (to include manufactured housing), on one lot, which conforms to minimum lot area requirements.

B. One duplex or two single-family dwelling buildings are allowed in areas zoned R-1A(E), but only on a lot of no less than 10,500 square feet. Condominiums, stock cooperatives, common interest subdivisions, or any similar form of multiple ownership of more than one unit on one lot are prohibited within this zone.

C. The following accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with the single-family dwelling building or duplex:

1. Incidental home occupations subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.08 CMC.

2. Accessory buildings subject to the provisions of Chapter 86.56 CMC.

E. Two-unit residential developments subject to CMC 86.56.180. (Ord. 2021-06 § 3, 2021; Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.08.030 Daylight plane and height regulations.

A. No building shall have a finished first-story floor or a finished floor directly above an underground parking garage or basement greater than 30 inches above “grade.” B. Main Buildings. “Daylight plane” is intended to provide for light and air, and to limit the impacts of bulk and mass on adjacent properties. The daylight plane restriction, when combined with the maximum height limit, defines the “building envelope” within which all new structures or additions must be contained. The daylight plane is an inclined plane, beginning at 18 feet above grade at the side property line, and extending into the site at 45 degrees from the vertical up to the maximum height limit. Main buildings shall not contain more than two stories and shall comply with the height limits and daylight plane restrictions depicted in the following table and graphic illustration:

Lot Width Height limit for roof pitch less than 3:12 including the top of any wall surrounding a roof with a pitch of less than 3:12

Furthermore, no one side shall exceed 50 cubic feet except when along a “southerly side lot line” which shall be allowed a maximum of 100 cubic feet. The area of parapet walls, roof decks behind parapet walls and similar design features shall include the volume bounded by the daylight plane, the vertical face of the parapet wall and a level plane at the top of the parapet; ii. Cornices, eaves, and similar architectural features, provided such features do not extend past the daylight plane more than two feet (flat roofs, flat eaves, continuous walls or enclosures of usable interior space are prohibited to extend past the daylight plane except as permitted above). c. Chimneys and flues that do not exceed five feet in width; provided, that chimneys do not extend past the required daylight plane a distance exceeding the minimum required by building codes. d. Architectural features permitted by CMC 86.56.050(C)(1)(a) through (d). e. Antennas.

86.09.010 Purpose and intent.

The purpose and intent of this chapter is to provide regulations that preserve and enhance the residential characteristics for those areas so designated on the zoning map of the City. The R-1A(BF) Subzone is a subzone of the R-1A Zone with unique development standards due to the subzone’s unusual location relative to the San Diego Bay and public rights-of-way; topography; lot configurations; and unbuildable portions of the lots. The R-1A(BF) Subzone is intended to provide for neighborhoods consisting of single-family dwelling buildings with a minimum gross lot size of 7,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Density is six dwelling units per acre. (Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.09.020 Permitted and accessory uses.

The following principal uses shall be allowed in the R-1A(BF) Subzone:

A. One single-family dwelling building (to include manufactured housing), on one lot, which conforms to minimum lot area requirements.

B. The following accessory uses are allowed in conjunction with the single-family dwelling building:

1. Incidental home occupations subject to the provisions of Chapter 20.08 CMC.

2. Accessory buildings subject to the provisions of Chapter 86.56 CMC.

3. Off-street parking in conformance with Chapter 86.58 CMC.

C. Small residential care facility, supportive housing, and transitional housing.

Ordinance 2024-02
Exhibit A
City of Coronado Page 98
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023.

D. Two-unit residential developments subject to CMC 86.56.180. (Ord. 2021-06 § 4, 2021; Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.09.030 Measurement standards for “building height,” “grade,” “structural coverage,” “floor area ratio (FAR),” and “depth of lot.”
A. Lots Adjoining the Bay. The property owner of a lot adjoining the bay shall have the option of selecting either the “gross lot area” (as defined in CMC 86.04.325) or the “adjusted lot area,” for the combined purposes of “grade” determination, “structural coverage,” “floor area ratio” (or “FAR”), and “depth of lot” calculation. The “adjusted lot area” of a lot abutting the bay shall be the computed area contained within the lot lines less any panhandle area and less the area bayward from a line across the lot which is established at the discretion of the property owner on natural grade not created by landfill. If the property owner selects the “gross lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the center line of First Street and the rear property line. If the property owner of a lot without street frontage selects the “gross lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the front and rear property lines. If the property owner selects the “adjusted lot area” option, “grade” shall be the average ground level of the front and rear boundary lines of the “adjusted lot area,” and the “adjusted lot area” shall be used as “gross lot area” for FAR calculation (CMC 86.04.308 and 86.09.050) and structural coverage calculation (CMC

86.04.760 and 86.09.120).

B. Lots Not Adjoining the Bay but Adjoining the Frontage Road. For lots not adjoining the bay but adjoining the frontage road which runs parallel to and north of First Street, the “adjusted lot area” shall be used as “gross lot area” in the calculation of FAR (CMC 86.04.308 and 86.09.050) and structural coverage calculation (CMC 86.04.760 and

86.09.120). The “adjusted lot area” of said frontage road lots shall be the area bounded by the northerly curb of the said frontage road and the side and rear lot lines. However, if the entire lot area is 7,500 square feet or less and the calculated “adjusted lot area” is less than 70 percent of the entire lot area, then 70 percent of the entire lot area shall be used as the “adjusted lot area” for the calculation of FAR and “structural coverage.” “Grade” for said frontage road lots shall be the average ground level of the center line of First Street and the rear property line.

C. Lots Not Adjoining the Bay or the Frontage Road but Adjoining First Street. For lots not adjoining the bay or the frontage road but adjoining First Street, “grade,” “structural coverage” and FAR shall be determined as prescribed by CMC 86.04.308, 86.04.318, 86.04.760, 86.09.050 and 86.09.120. (Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.09.040 Height regulations.

A. No building shall have a finished first-story floor or a finished floor directly above an underground parking garage or basement greater than 30 inches above “grade” as defined in CMC 86.04.318.

B. Main Buildings. Main buildings shall not contain more than two stories and shall comply with the following height restrictions:

Main Building Maximum Height Limit
< 3:12 Roof Pitch 3:12 – < 6:12 Roof Pitch ≥ 6:12 Roof Pitch 23 feet. 27.5 feet. 27.5 feet.

Parapet walls may extend to 23.5 feet with
30% of the roof perimeter parapet walls up to
25 feet.
15% of the roof plan area may extend to 30
feet.

A maximum of 60% of the front parapet wall
may extend to 25 feet.

C. Accessory Buildings. Accessory buildings shall not contain more than one story and shall comply with the following height restrictions:

Accessory Building Maximum Height Limit
< 3:12 Roof Pitch 3:12 – < 6:12 Roof Pitch ≥ 6:12 Roof Pitch 11 feet. 14 feet, 4 inches. 14 feet, 4 inches.

86.53.010 Purpose and intent.

The purpose of these regulations is to: (A) comply with State density bonus law (California Government Code Section 65915); (B) implement the Housing Element of the Coronado General Plan; and (C) better provide a broad range of affordable housing opportunities for the City’s residents. The regulations are intended to materially assist the housing industry in providing adequate and affordable shelter for all economic segments of the community and to provide a balance of housing opportunities for low-income, very low-income, and senior households, as well as moderate-income owners of condominium or planned developments as defined in Civil Code Section 1351, Subdivisions (f) and (k), respectively, throughout the City. It is intended that the affordable housing density bonus and any additional development incentive be available for use in all types of residential developments. It is also intended that these regulations implement the provisions of California Government Code Sections 65915 through 65918. It is further intended that these regulations will require any increase in density of residential developments to be distributed and constructed within the same development site as the market rate housing. Any amendments to the provisions of California Government Code Section 65915 shall be deemed to supersede and govern any conflicting provisions contained herein. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.020 Applicability.

This chapter applies to any residential development of five or more dwelling units when the written request of an applicant proposes density beyond that permitted by the underlying zone in exchange for an agreement that a portion of the total dwelling units in the proposed development is reserved for low- or very low-income households, senior citizens or moderate-income families in a condominium or planned development. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.030 Definitions.

The following terms are hereby defined for the purposes of this chapter:

A. “Affordable housing agreement” means an agreement between the applicant and the City guaranteeing the affordability of rental or ownership units to applicable income households for a period specified by California Government Code Section 65915, and is in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

B. “Affordable housing costs” are those amounts set forth in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any State law replacing or modifying Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5.

C. “Appreciation” means the increase in value of a moderate-income unit in a condominium or planned development project approved as a density bonus unit as determined by the difference between the original market value of the unit minus the price of the unit as sold to the first moderate-income purchaser. If the value of the unit increases, the City and the initial purchaser shall divide the appreciation by respective percentage share with the City’s share equal to the percentage that the original sales price was less than fair market price at the time of original sale. So, if the Ordinance 2024-02
Exhibit A
City of Coronado Page 160
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023. original sales price was $200,000 for a unit with a fair market price of $300,000, the original unit sold for two-thirds or 66.67 percent of its fair market price and the City’s share of appreciation would be 33.33 percent.

D. “Child care facility” means a day nursery as defined in CMC 86.04.250.

E. “Concession” or “incentive” means:

1. A reduction in site development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards approved by the California Building Standards Commission as provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code, including, but not limited to, a reduction in setback and square footage requirements and in the ratio of vehicular parking spaces that would otherwise be required that results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions;

2. Approval of mixed use development in conjunction with the housing project if commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing development and if the commercial, office, industrial, or other land uses are compatible with the housing project and the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed housing project will be located; or

3. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City that result in identifiable, financially sufficient and actual cost reductions.

F. “Condominium project” means a project as defined by Section 1351(f) of the Civil Code, as the same may be amended from time to time.

G. “Density bonus,” for housing projects that have the requisite percentage of housing reserved for lower-income households, very low-income households or senior citizen housing developments, means a density increase as specified by California Government Code Section 65915, unless a lesser percentage is elected by the applicant, over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and Land Use Element of the General Plan as of the date of application by the applicant to the City. “Density bonus,” for housing projects that are condominium projects or planned developments in which at least 10 percent of the total dwelling units are reserved for persons and families of moderate income, means a density increase as specified by California Government Code Section 65915, unless a lesser percentage is elected by the applicant, over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and Land Use Element of the General Plan as of the date of application.

H. “Development standard” includes site or construction conditions that apply to a residential development pursuant to any ordinance, General Plan element, specific plan, or other local condition, law, policy, resolution, or regulation.

K. “Lower-income households” means households defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any State law replacing Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5. At the time of the adoption of this chapter, Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5 defines “lower-income households” as those whose income is equal to or less than 80 percent of the San Diego County area median income (“AMI”).

Ordinance 2024-02

86.53.040 Density bonus affordability and longevity.

A. Affordability in General. The affordable dwelling units proposed or constructed as defined in this chapter shall be subject to an affordable housing agreement, and such deed restrictions and other applicable documents, approved by the City Attorney, ensuring continued affordability of the dwelling units for a period as required by California Government Code Section 65915 or longer (if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, first-time home buyer’s program, rental subsidy program or any local, State and Federal laws, regulations or statutes). Affordability limits are established as follows:

1. Rental units targeted for lower-income households shall be affordable at a rent that does not exceed 30 percent of 60 percent of AMI.

2. Rental units targeted for very low-income households shall be affordable at a rent that does not exceed 30 percent of 50 percent of AMI.

Ownership units shall be made available only to households whose income does not exceed the limits for the targeted households for the duration of the affordable housing agreement.

B. Affordability for Moderate-Income Condominium or Planned Community Development Units. The City shall ensure that the initial occupant of each moderate-income unit that is directly related to the receipt of the density bonus in a condominium project or planned community development is a person or family of moderate income as defined in CMC 86.53.020(M). Upon resale, the seller of the unit shall retain the value of any improvements, the down payment, and the seller’s proportionate share of appreciation. The City shall recapture its proportionate share of appreciation, which shall be used as required by Government Code Section 65915, as the same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable State law replacing Government Code Section 65915. The City’s share shall be equal to the percentage by which the initial sales price of the moderate-income household was less than the fair market value of the home at the time of initial sale. If there is any direct financial contribution from the City through participation in the cost of infrastructure, write-down of land costs, or subsidizing the cost of construction, the City may limit the amount of the appreciation upon resale for at least as required by California Government Code Section 65915 or more if required by the project funding source.

C. Affordability Covenants. Affordability shall be ensured by requiring that the applicant enter into an affordable housing agreement which shall be reviewed by the City Community Development Department and approved by the City Attorney and shall be recorded and run with the land. The affordability period shall commence from the date that the final certificate of occupancy is issued, or the date of the recording of the affordable housing agreement, whichever shall last occur. For for-sale units, the affordability period shall be 55 years. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.050 Density bonus calculations, justifications, incentives, concessions and location.

A. Density Bonus Calculations. Upon written request of an applicant through the processing of density bonus request in the manner of a “determination of development standards” per CMC 86.02.124, the Planning Commission shall grant a density bonus as specified by California Government Code Section 65915, and incentives or concessions as provided in this section when the applicant for the housing development agrees or proposes to construct at least any one of the following (note: the applicant shall also simultaneously process each and every other development application required by this title for the proposed project):

1. Ten percent of the total units of a housing development for lower-income households;

2. Five percent of the total units of a housing development for very low-income households;

3. A senior citizen housing development or mobilehome park that limits residency based on age requirements for housing older persons; or

4. Ten percent of the total dwelling units in a condominium project or planned development for persons and families of moderate income; or

5. Ten percent of the total units of a housing development for transitional foster youth, disabled veterans, or homeless persons;

6. Twenty percent of the total units of a housing development dedicated to full-time students at an accredited college are for low-income students;

7. The project donates at least one acre of land to the City for very low-income units, and the land has the appropriate General Plan designation, zoning, permits and approvals, and access to public facilities needed for such housing;

8. One hundred percent of the housing units (other than manager’s units) are restricted to very low-, lower- and moderate-income residents (with a maximum of 20 percent moderate).

B. Additional Density Bonus.

1. If an applicant exceeds the percentages set forth in subsection A of this section, the applicant shall be entitled to an additional density bonus, the amount of which shall be as specified in Government Code Section 65915(f).

2. The density bonus units shall not be included when calculating the total number of housing units that qualify the housing development for a density bonus, except as otherwise required by Government Code Section 65915.

3. The amount of the density bonus shall not exceed the percentages established in Government Code Section 65915.

4. An applicant shall not receive a density bonus or any other incentive or concession if the housing development would be excluded under Government Code Section 65915, which includes projects that fail to “replace” existing housing units, as required by State law. “Replace” shall have the same meaning as defined in Government Code Section 65915(c)(3)(B).

C. Justification for Concessions and Incentives. In addition to all other requirements of the “determination of development standards” process per CMC 86.02.124, an applicant requesting a density bonus and/or development standard concession(s) or incentive(s) shall also show, using one of the following methods, that the waiver or modification is necessary to make the housing units economically feasible:

1. A development pro forma with the capital costs, operating expenses, return on investment, loan-to-value ratio and the debt coverage ratio, including the contribution(s) provided by any applicable subsidy program(s), and the economic effect created by the minimum-year use and income restrictions on the affordable housing units; or
Ordinance 2024-02
Exhibit A
City of Coronado Page 163
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023.

2. An appraisal report indicating the value of the density bonus and of the incentive(s)/concession(s); or

3. A use of funds statement identifying the projected financing gap for the project with the affordable housing units. The analysis shall show how much of the funding gap is covered by the density bonus and how much by the incentive(s)/concession(s).

D. Concessions and Incentives.

1. When the Planning Commission grants a density bonus in accordance with this section, the Planning Commission shall grant the additional concession or incentive requested by the applicant and make all of the following findings, based upon substantial evidence, that:
a. The concession or incentive is required in order to provide for affordable housing costs or rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in CMC 86.53.040; and b. The concession or incentive would not have a specific adverse impact (as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2), as the same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable State law replacing Government Code Section 65589.5) upon the public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households; and
c. The concession or incentive would not have a specific adverse impact on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.

2. Number of Incentives/Concessions. The applicant shall be entitled to receive the number of incentives or concessions as specified in Government Code Section 65915(d)(2).

E. The granting of a density bonus, incentive or concession shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a General Plan amendment or zoning change. The request for such items shall be processed in the manner of a “determination of development standards” per CMC 86.02.124, in addition to every other applicable planning application as described in this title.

F. An applicant may submit a written request to the Community Development Department detailing the specific incentives or concessions that the applicant requests pursuant to this section.

G. This section does not limit or require the provision of direct financial incentives for the housing development, including the provision of publicly owned land, by the City, or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements.

H. All affordable units shall be of similar design and quality as the market rate units, including exteriors and floor plans.

I. All affordable units shall be dispersed throughout the housing development rather than clustered in a single area or building. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.060 Donation of land.

When an applicant for a tentative subdivision map, parcel map, or other residential development donates land to the City that meets the requirements of this section, the applicant shall be entitled to an increase above the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable zoning ordinance and Land Use Element of the General Plan for the entire development. The percent increase shall be as specified in California Government Code Section 65915.

A. The developable acreage and zoning classification of the land must be sufficient to permit construction of units in an amount not less than 10 percent of the number of residential units of the proposed development; B. The units shall be affordable to very low-income households; and Ordinance 2024-02
Exhibit A
City of Coronado Page 164
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023.

C. Any increase in the density required by this section shall be in addition to any increase in density provided to the applicant under CMC 86.53.050; provided, however, that the project shall not be allowed density bonuses under this section and under CMC 86.53.050 in excess of the maximum specified by California Government Code Section 65915. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.070 Child care facilities.

When an applicant proposes to construct a housing development that conforms to the requirements of this title and includes a child care facility that will be located on the premises of, as part of, or adjacent to the project, the following shall apply:

A. The Planning Commission shall grant either of the following, unless a finding is made in accordance with subsection C of this section:

1. An additional density bonus that is an amount of square feet of residential space that is equal to or greater than the amount of square feet in the child care facility; or

2. An additional concession or incentive that contributes significantly to the economic feasibility of the construction of the child care facility.

B. The Planning Commission shall require the following as conditions of approving the housing development; these requirements shall be included in the affordable housing agreement:

1. The child care facility shall remain in operation for a period of time that is as long as or longer than the period of time during which the density bonus units are required to remain affordable pursuant to CMC

86.53.040; and

2. Of the children who attend the child care facility, the children of very low-income households, lower-income households, or families of moderate income shall equal a percentage that is equal to or greater than the percentage of dwelling units that are required for very low-income households, lower-income households, or families of moderate income in the proposed housing development pursuant to CMC 86.53.050(A) and (B).

C. The Planning Commission shall not be required to provide a density bonus or concession for a child care facility if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the City already has adequate child care facilities.

D. The density bonus allowed under this section shall be in addition to any density bonuses already given to the applicant pursuant to CMC 86.53.050 and 86.53.060. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

86.53.080 Development standards.

A. The City shall not apply any development standard that will have the effect of precluding the construction of a development meeting the criteria of this title while at the same time at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted by this chapter.

B. All development standards of the underlying zone shall apply to density bonus projects unless one or more concessions have been granted.

C. Any discretionary actions for modification or waiver shall be processed as a “determination of development standards” per CMC 86.02.124 and each and every other development application required by this title for the proposed housing project.

D. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to require the City to waive or reduce development standards if the waiver or reduction would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2), as the same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable State law replacing Government Code Section 65589.5, upon the health, safety, or the physical environment, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.

E. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to require the City to waive or reduce development standards that would have an adverse impact on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. (Ord. 2023-01 § 3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord 1973 § 1, 2005)

E. This section does not supersede or in any way alter or lessen the effect or application of the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code). Any density bonus, concessions, incentives, waivers or reductions of development standards, and parking ratios to which the applicant is entitled under this section shall be permitted in a manner that is consistent with this section and Division 20 (commencing with Section 30000) of the Public Resources Code.

It is the goal of the Council that accessory dwelling units be equitably distributed throughout the City.

2. The City of Coronado is located entirely within the Coastal Zone and the City’s Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan was certified by the California Coastal Commission in December of 1983. The City is an isolated dense community established in a tight “grid pattern” over 100 years ago and is bordered almost entirely by the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean, with access to the City being only from State Route 75 from the south or the Coronado Bay Bridge. The City has numerous coastal resources that attract over 2,000,000 annual visitors, including public beaches, the San Diego Bay, Glorietta Bay, and the Hotel del Coronado. The annual visitors, coupled with historic development patterns of the City has created a significant impact on the City’s limited parking supply in the Coastal Zone that would be exacerbated by allowing accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units to be built without certain parking requirements, including replacement parking, as it would shift residential parking from on-site to on-street. The City’s Certified Local Coastal Program mandates certain parking requirements to be met, including the number of off-street parking spaces for dwellings, to ensure and maintain public access to the coast. The California Coastal Act of 1976 is neither superseded nor in any way altered or lessened as provided for in Government Code Section 65852.2(I).

3. Junior and accessory dwelling units are residential uses consistent with the uses permitted in zones that allow for residential and mixed use residential development.

4. Junior and accessory dwelling units developed pursuant to the requirements of this subsection shall not cause the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located to exceed the allowable density otherwise permitted for the lot. Therefore, the accessory dwelling unit/junior accessory dwelling unit shall not count as units when calculating density of the lot.

B. Junior and accessory dwelling units shall be permitted in zones which allow residential and mixed use residential development and shall comply with the following standards:

1. A detached primary single-family dwelling unit shall exist or be proposed on the lot, or existing multifamily dwelling units shall exist on the lot.

2. The accessory dwelling unit may be created within the existing walls of a primary residence or accessory structure (an “interior” accessory unit), may be created by an addition attached to an existing or proposed primary residence (an “attached” accessory dwelling unit), or may be a new structure detached from the primary residence (a “detached” accessory dwelling unit). It must be located on the same lot as the existing or proposed single-family home or multifamily dwelling.

A maximum of one parking space shall be required for a carriage house converted to an accessory dwelling unit, except that no space is required for a converted unit deed restricted to be affordable to low, very low, and extremely low income households as defined in the City’s General Plan Housing Element.

13. Design. A junior or accessory dwelling unit, whether attached or detached, shall utilize the same architectural style, exterior materials, and colors as the existing or proposed primary dwelling, and the quality of the materials shall be the same or exceed that of the primary dwelling.

14. Except as provided in subsection (B)(16) of this section, accessory dwelling units shall provide a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility. The connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed accessory dwelling unit, based upon either its size in square feet or the number of its plumbing fixtures, upon the water or sewer system; provided, however, that this fee or charge shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. A submeter may be allowed to meet this requirement.

86.56.180 Two-unit residential developments in single-family zones.

A. Purpose and Findings.

1. The purpose of this section is to provide regulations for the establishment of two-unit residential developments in single-family residential zones and to define an approval process for such two-unit residential developments consistent with Government Code Section 65852.21, or any successor statute. The intent of this section is to provide opportunities for more housing in existing single-family residential zones as mandated by State law. It is also the goal to provide development standards to ensure the orderly development of these units in appropriate areas of the City.

2. The City of Coronado is located entirely within the Coastal Zone and the City’s Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan was certified by the California Coastal Commission in December of 1983. The City is an isolated dense community established in a tight “grid pattern” over 100 years ago and is bordered almost entirely by the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean, with access to the City being only from State Route 75 from the south or the Coronado Bay Bridge. The City has numerous coastal resources that attract over 2,000,000 annual visitors, including public beaches, the San Diego Bay, Glorietta Bay, and the Hotel del Coronado. The annual visitors, coupled with historic development patterns of the City, have created a significant impact on the City’s limited parking supply in the Coastal Zone that would be exacerbated by allowing two-unit residential developments to be built without certain parking requirements, as it would shift residential parking from on site to on street. The City’s Certified Local Coastal Program mandates certain parking requirements to be met, including the number of off-street parking spaces for dwellings, to ensure and maintain public access to the coast. The California Coastal Act of 1976 is neither superseded nor in any way altered or lessened as provided for in Government Code Section 65852.21(k), except that the City shall not be required to hold public hearings for coastal development permit applications for a two-unit residential development pursuant to this section.

3. Two-unit residential developments are residential uses consistent with the uses permitted in zones that allow for single-family residential development.

4. Government Code Section 65852.21 preempts the density limitations established by the General Plan and the underlying zones in which two-unit residential developments created pursuant to the requirements of this subsection are permitted. Incompatibility with the City’s density limitations shall not provide a basis to deny a two-unit residential development that otherwise conforms to the requirements of this section.

B. A two-unit residential development containing no more than two residential units within a single-family residential zone shall be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing, if the proposed housing meets all of the standards set forth below. For purposes of this section, a two-unit residential development contains two residential units if the development proposes two new units or if it proposes to add one new unit to one existing unit.

1. If a parcel includes an existing single-family home, one additional unit of not more than 800 square feet may be developed pursuant to this section. No more than 25 percent of the existing exterior structural walls shall be demolished to create the two-unit residential development, unless the existing single-family home has not been occupied by a tenant in the last three years.

2. If a parcel does not include an existing single-family home, or if an existing single-family home is proposed to be demolished in connection with the creation of a two-unit residential development, two units of not more than 800 square feet each may be developed pursuant to this section.

3. Each unit in a two-unit residential development shall be separated by a distance of at least 10 feet from any other structure on the parcel; however, units may be adjacent or connected if the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.

4. No more than four units – including primary dwelling units, accessory dwelling units, and/or junior accessory dwelling units in any combination – may be created on a parcel. If a parcel was created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and includes an existing or proposed two-unit development, then no accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units are permitted on the parcel. If a parcel was not created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and Ordinance 2024-02
Exhibit A
City of Coronado Page 200
The Coronado Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2023-01, passed March 7, 2023. includes an existing or proposed two-unit development, then one accessory dwelling unit may be developed for each primary dwelling unit on the parcel. If a parcel was created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and includes one primary dwelling unit only, then one accessory dwelling unit or one junior accessory dwelling unit for each primary dwelling unit is permitted.

C. A two-unit residential development shall be prohibited in each of the following circumstances:

1. The two-unit residential development would require demolition or alteration of any of the following types of housing:
a. Housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income. b. Housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power.
