CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 5.20.010 AND ADDING SECTION 5.20.110 OF THE GLENDALE MUNICIPAL CODE, 1995, RELATING TO THE SIDEWALK

VENDOR LICENSE
WHEREAS, since 2012, the City of Glendale has issued 61 sidewalk vendor licenses, known until 2019 as peddlers' licenses, to persons who sell food or merchandise from their persons or carts on public rights-of-way; and WHEREAS, in 2018, the California State Legislature passed, and the Governor of California signed into law, the Safe Sidewalk Vending Act (the "Act"), which, effective January 1, 2019, authorizes local authorities to adopt sidewalk vending programs, yet prohibits the issuance of criminal penalties for violations of sidewalk vending ordinances and regulations; and
WHEREAS, in 2019, the Council of the City of Glendale adopted Ordinance No. 5936, originally codified at Chapter 5.35, since recodified at Chapter 5.20, of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, which requires sidewalk vendors to obtain a sidewalk vendor license before engaging in sidewalk vending and prescribes time, place, and manner regulations that are directly related to objective health, safety, and welfare concerns; and
WHEREAS, engaging in sidewalk vending without a valid sidewalk vendor license, or violating any of the time, place, and manner regulations prescribed in Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, is punishable only by administrative fines; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Glendale held a study session on August 27, 2024, in which it received testimony that, as of July 23, 2024, only five (5) sidewalk vendor licenses issued by the City were active; yet, sidewalk vendors were operating at 41 known locations in the City; and
WHEREAS, the testimony reveals that, at minimum, eighty-eight percent (88%) of sidewalk vending receptacles in the City of Glendale as of July 23, 2024, are being operated by sidewalk vendors that have not first obtained a sidewalk vendor license for those receptacles pursuant to Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995; and WHEREAS, the Act expressly permits local authorities to require from sidewalk vendor license applicants a California driver's license or identification number, an individual taxpayer identification number, or a municipal identification number; and Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, imposes such a requirement; and WHEREAS, in order to issue an unlicensed sidewalk vendor an administrative fine pursuant to Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, the City of 7b
Glendale must positively identify the sidewalk vendor; yet, the City cannot compel a sidewalk vendor to produce identification absent, at minimum, reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, which a violation of Chapter 5.20 does not constitute; and WHEREAS, whether the City of Glendale can positively identify a sidewalk vendor, either because the vendor is licensed or unlicensed and produces valid identification, after being issued an administrative fine, a sidewalk vendor may continue to engage in unlicensed vending or violate any of the time, place, or manner regulations that Chapter 5.20 imposes, leaving the City without a mechanism by which to mitigate objective health, safety, or welfare concerns to which the sidewalk vendor license requirement and time, place, and manner regulations directly relate; and WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Glendale finds and declares that impounding the instrumentalities of a violation of Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, where a sidewalk vendor cannot, fails or refuses to remedy the violation, and fails or refuses to remove such instrumentalities from the sidewalk, or where they pose an imminent threat to public health or safety, is necessary to mitigate objective health, safety, or welfare concerns; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Glendale finds and declares that impounding the instrumentalities of a violation of Chapter 5.20 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995, does not criminalize unlawful sidewalk vending, nor does it constitute criminal punishment, within the meaning of the California Penal Code; and WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Glendale finds and declares that impounding the instrumentalities of a violation of Chapter 5.20 constitutes an administrative mechanism by which to address objective health, safety, and welfare concerns posed by continued unlawful vending by sidewalk vendors that cannot, fail or refuse to remedy such violations, and fail or refuse to remove such instrumentalities from the sidewalk.

Even if it is a "project," the City Council finds and determines with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question, namely, adopting an ordinance to regulate sidewalk vending, may have a significant effect on the environment ; thus, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3).

SECTION 5. Severability. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority of the Charter of the City of Glendale and state law. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase is declared invalid or otherwise void by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any remaining provisions hereof. In this regard , the City Council finds and declares that it would have adopted this measure notwithstanding any partial invalidity hereof.

SECTION 6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the date of its passage.

Passed and adopted by the Council of the City of Glendale on the 3rd day of December , 2024.

SECTION 2. Section 30.10.070 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.10.070 Zoning districts - Regulations.

A. Permitted Primary Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of permitted primary uses and structures contained within each zone regulations is to identify all principal uses and structures that are allowable on a lot within that zone as a matter of right.

Subject to the provisions of the zone, except as otherwise provided, no building, structure or land shall be used and no building, structure or use shall be established except the listed permitted primary uses and structures.

B. Permitted Accessory Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of permitted accessory uses and structures contained within each zone regulations is to identify uses and structures that are allowable when they are integrated with and clearly incidental to a primary use on the same lot. All buildings and structures shall conform to the development standards of the zone.

C. Temporary Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of temporary uses and structures is to identify those uses that may be allowable within a given zone for a limited amount of time and under certain specified conditions.

D. Conditional Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of conditional uses and structures is to identify those uses and structures which must first obtain permission for their establishment within the zone by a conditional use permit. The specific conditional uses and structures which are listed are considered to be typical of uses which require individual review as to their particular characteristics and location, and ones that may require special conditions to their establishment in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare.
3 E. Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any provision in this code to the.contrary, any establishment that engages in or carries out any activity contrary to federal, state or local laws shall be prohibited.

F. Development Standards-General. The development standards contained within this title and the various zones have been established in order to assure adequate levels of light, air and density of development, to maintain and enhance locally-recognized values of community appearance and to promote the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The standards are in furtherance of the goals and objectives of the comprehensive general plan and are found to be necessary for the preservation of the community, health, safety and general welfare.

G. Site Requirements-General. The area and dimensions of all building sites shall be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated density of development, open spaces, setbacks and parking spaces.

H. Density. The density of development has been established for each zone in accordance with the comprehensive general plan in order to promote the orderly, efficient and most appropriate growth within the city, consistent with the planned capability of services and infrastructures. Density shall be calculated from the area of the lot before any public right-of­ way dedications are made. An accessory dwelling unit and/or junior accessory dwelling unit on a lot developed with single-family or multi-family dwelling unit(s) is deemed a residential use consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot, as provided for in the Government Code of the State of California, Section 66319.

I. Lot Size. Where minimum lot sizes or dimensions required within the zone standards, they have been established in order to promote the type and scale of development envisioned in the comprehensive general plan. Where existing lots with lesser size and dimensions are existing in a zone, an exception has been made in some zones for such lots when their development would not be harmful to the achievement of the overall goals and objectives of the plan.

J. Coverage. Maximum coverage requirements contained within certain zone standards have been established to provide minimum open spaces for light, air and ventilation and to reserve adequate area for open spaces, setbacks and other amenities. Coverage shall be calculated from the area of the lot after any public right-of- way dedications are made.

K. Height. Height standards are reflective of intensity and scale of development. In order to maintain a sound plan and compatibility with surrounding uses, the structural height of buildings must be regulated and intensities directed to their most appropriate location. Factors taken into consideration in the establishment of height criteria are shade/shadow effects; light, air and ventilation; scenic vistas; and intensity of development and ability to serve.

L. Unit Size. Minimum unit sizes as may be established in the various zones are for the purpose of assuring acceptable living areas, the control of overcrowding and the provision of conditions conducive to a decent, safe and sanitary environment.

M. Setbacks, Open Space and Landscaping Requirements. The purpose of setbacks, open space and landscaping requirements is to assure that an effective separation is provided 4 between properties and uses to foster compatibility, identity, privacy, light, air and ventilation and provide for landscaped areas in the living and working environments for visual relief and recreation. Setbacks and required landscaping shall be calculated from the property lines or area of the lot after any public right-of-way dedications are made.

5.56.030, is permitted subject to the restrictions in Chapter 5.56. Vacation rentals, as defined in Section 5.56.030, are prohibited in all zones.

SECTION 9. Section 30.34.080 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.34.080 Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units.

A. Intent and Purpose. This section is intended to provide for the creation of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units in a manner that is ministerial and nondiscretionary consistent with state law.

1. Accessory dwelling units and/or junior accessory dwelling units, as applicable, are located on lots developed or proposed with dwelling units in areas zoned for single­ family and multi-family residential (including mixed-use residential) uses and can provide an important source of affordable housing. For purposes of this section, the existing one residential dwelling on property zoned single-family residential or property with an existing single-family dwelling on it shall also be known as the primary dwelling.

2. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, when appropriately sized and located, have little impact on neighborhood quality of life or upon real property that is listed, or identified on a historic survey as potentially eligible on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, Glendale Register of Historic Resources, and in a city of Glendale designated or nominated Historic District.

3. Establishing reasonable regulations for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units is an appropriate mechanism to properly balance the need 32 for additional affordable housing with the need to maintain existing architectural character, community character and neighborhood quality of life.

4. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units are not considered for purposes of general plan density calculation.

5. Accessory dwelling unit and junior accessory dwelling unit permits are necessary to enable tracking of affordable housing and to ensure review and compliance with zoning, fire, and life safety standards contained in state and local law.

B. Applicability. This section shall apply to all zones that allow single-family or multi-family residential use(s).

C. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to the requirements of this section any term not defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in Chapter 30.70:
"Accessory dwelling unit" means an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family or multi-family dwelling is or will be situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes the following:
a. An efficiency unit as defined in Section 17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code. b. A manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.
"Junior accessory dwelling unit" means a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence, and shall in no event be contained within a detached accessory building or structure. For purposes of this definition, "contained entirely within a single-family residence" means enclosed uses within the residence, such as attached garages. A junior accessory dwelling unit may include separate sanitation facilities, or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure.
"Living area" means the interior habitable area of a dwelling unit, including basements and attics, but does not include a garage or any accessory structure. "Livable space" means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.
"Nonconforming zoning condition" means a physical improvement on a property that does not conform with current zoning standards.
"Objective standards" means 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.
"Passageway" means a pathway that is unobstructed clear to the sky and extends from a street to one entrance of the accessory dwelling unit. "Proposed dwelling" means a dwelling that is the subject of a permit application and that meets the requirements for permitting.
33 "Public transit" means a location, including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station, where the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND AS FOLLOWS:

The City Council finds, determines, and declares that:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

2. The City Council hereby makes the following findings pursuant to CA Gov'! Code Section 66326(b) concurrently with/immediately prior to adoption of Ordinance Nos. 6034 and 6035 (amending portions of Ordinance No. 5997 and re-adopting portions of Ordinance No. 5997), which findings shall be incorporated by reference in Ordinance Nos. 6034 and 6035, after considering the findings made by HCD pursuant to its review of Ordinance No. 5997, in order to set forth reasons Ordinance No. 5997 complies with State ADU and JADU Law, despite HCD's findings contained in its December 7, 2023 letter to the City.

3. As to HCD's finding contained in its December 7, 2023 letter to the City regarding JADUs and Zoning, alleging that the City's allowance of JADUs in zones other than single family residential zones contained in Ordinance No. 5997 constitutes a violation of CA Gov'! Code Section 66333 (formerly CA Gov'! Section 65852.22(a)), the City Council finds as follows:
a. State JADU Law states" ... a local agency may, by ordinance, provide for the creation of junior accessory dwelling units in single-family residential zones" (CA Gov'! Code Section 66333 (emphasis added)), and nowhere in the text of State JADU Law does the law prohibit a local agency from allowing construction of a JADU in a zone other than single family residential zones. Moreover, State JADU Law does not prohibit a local agency from being more permissive in its local ordinance to permit and promote greater affordable housing opportunities. b. The purpose and intent of the JADU Law is to increase the supply of low-impact affordable housing within an existing single-family home (single-family use), as evidenced by the analysis of AB 2406 contained in the report of the Senate Committee On Transportation and Housing 3 (Senator Jim Beall, Chair 2015-2016), authored by T. Thurmond (finding that "[b]y passing AB 2406, we will remove barriers to development of JADUs that offer an abundant and viable source of low-cost, low-impact and high-benefit rental housing particularly in urban, costal zones, while making owning a home in the state more affordable, without the need for government subsidies" and finding JADUs offer "flexibility to have a second unit, while still allowing for single-family use.") c. In Ordinance No. 5997, GMC Section 30.34.080(C) defines a JADU as "a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence." (emphasis added). Indeed, GMC Section 30.34.080(F)(3) states that "[j]unior accessory dwelling units are prohibited on lots developed with existing multiple residential dwelling units." Similarly, GMC Section 30.34.080(0)(2) states that JADUs are permitted only on lots developed, or proposed to be developed, with one residential dwelling. Thus, Ordinance No. 5997 does not allow a multifamily dwelling unit (use as a multifamily) to construct a JADU. However, there are existing single family residences in all of the City's multifamily zones. Accordingly, the City's intent in allowing a JADU to be constructed on lots in non-single family zones that contain an existing single family residence was to be fair and equitable to those existing single-family homes, and to allow these single family residences the same opportunities to construct a JADU as those that exist in single family zones, thereby increasing the supply of housing units, and, in particular, affordable housing units.
d. Accordingly, Ordinance No. 5997's allowance of construction of JADUs in zones other than single family residential zones, limited to existing single family uses, violates neither the plain language nor the intent of State JADU Law, and re-adoption of these provisions would thus not violate State JADU Law.

4. As to HCD's finding contained in its December 7, 2023 letter to the City regarding Accessory Living Quarters alleging that the City's requirement contained in Ordinance No. 5997, contained in GMC Section 30.34.080(0)(9). that a lot with one residential unit may have either an accessory dwelling unit or an accessory living quarter, but not both, constitutes a violation of CA Gov'! Code Section 66314(d)(3) (formerly CA Gov'! Code Section 65852.2(a)(1 )), the City Council finds as follows:
a. Accessory living quarters are defined in GMC Section 30.070.020 as "living quarters within an accessory building for the sole use of persons employed on the premises or members of the household living in the main building. Such quarters have no cooking facilities and are not rented or otherwise used as a separate dwelling." Accessory living quarters are not the same as ADUs, which are defined as residential dwelling units that provide complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and include permanent provisions for living, sleeping 4 eating, cooking, and sanitation. CA Gov't Code Section 66313(a). b. State ADU Law provides that a local agency's ordinance must require an ADU to be "either attached to, or located within, the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including attached garages, storage areas or similar uses, or an accessory structure or detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including detached garages." CA Gov'! Code Section 66314(d)(3).
c. This section neither requires a local agency to allow both an ADU and an accessory structure such as an accessory living quarters, nor does ii prohibit a local agency from requiring a lot with a single family dwelling to make a choice to either have one or more ADUs or a guest house.

Applicants are not forced to demolish their accessory living quarters (detached accessory structure limited to 500 square feet (see GMC §

30.11.020, Table A)) - they may make an election to convert it into a detached ADU. Ordinance No. 5997 does not require that all existing areas of the dwelling/accessory structure be converted to an ADU other than existing guest house, which is not prohibited by State ADU Law.

Moreover, this provision of Ordinance No. 5997 does not preclude an ADU or JADU that complies with CA Gov'! Code Section 66323(a). d. The City's purpose in enacting this provision of Ordinance No. 5997 was to minimize the proliferation of detached accessory structures on lots, which further take away from landscaping, contribute to additional lot coverage and floor area ratio, and generally reduce open space, unless the accessory structure is used as an ADU. Rather than limiting ADU opportunities, this provision will encourage applicants to convert their accessory living quarters to an ADU, which will contribute to the creation of independent living facilities that can support renters (as opposed to accessory living quarters, which cannot be separately rented). e. Accordingly, Ordinance No. 5997's requirement that a lot with one residential unit may have either an accessory dwelling unit or an accessory living quarter, but not both, violates neither the plain language nor the intent of State ADU Law, and re-adoption of these provisions would thus not violate State ADU Law.

5. As to HCD's finding contained in its December 7, 2023 letter to the City regarding Unit Mixture alleging that the City's limitation of construction of either (for single family use): 1. one converted ADU and a JADU, or, 2. one detached new construction ADU and a JADU; and, either (for multifamily use): 1. at least one and up to 25% of the existing multifamily dwelling units within portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures not used as livable space, or, 2. not more than 2 (or 8 under SB 1211) detached ADUs, contained in Ordinance No. 5997, contained in GMC Section 5 30.34.080(E)(4) & (F)(2), constitutes a violation of CA Gov't Code Section 66323(a) (formerly CA Gov't Section 65852.2(e)(1)) the City Council finds as follows:
a. HCD's finding that the City must allow a lot with a single family use to construct one detached new construction ADU, one converted ADU and a JADU, and must allow a lot with a multifamily use to construct detached ADUs and convert portions of its non-livable space (up to 25% of its existing units) is contrary to the plain language and legislative intent of State ADU Law.
b. State ADU Law states that a local agency must "ministerially approve an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create any of the following", after which it sets forth two distinct ADU/JADU combination options for single family us lots and ADU types for multifamily use lots. CA Gov't Code Section 66323(a). The word "any" contained in CA Gov't Code Section 66323(a) does not mean "any and all" (a phrase that is missing from State Law) of what follows.
c. The above-referenced interpretation of the word "any" in CA Gov't Code Section 66323(a) is a strained and illogical reading of this section that contradicts the overall ADU/JADU statutory scheme. Section 66323(a)'s language requires a local agency to ministerially approve an application "to create any of the following" a_nd then delineates what is clearly two different and distinct alternate scenarios: 1) a "converted" ADU and a JADU meeting certain specifications; or 2) a detached new construction ADU and a JADU. CA Gov't Code Section 66323(a)(1-2).

The legislature was clear that each type of ADU (converted or new construction) could also combine with a JADU (and only one JADU with each type of ADU). Under HCDs reading of the statute, requiring the allowance of any and all of the listed types of ADUs/JADUs on one lot, an applicant could create each of the two kinds of ADUs and a JADU for each ADU (resulting in 2 ADUs and 2 JADUs). However, a lot cannot have more than one JADU pursuant to Government Code section 66333(a). Accordingly, HCDs construction of the statutory language is not in harmony with section 66333(a), and thus violates the rules of statutory construction. See Skidgel v. California Unemployment Ins. Appeals Bd., 12 Cal. 5th 1, 14 (20 21) (holding court must "construe the words in question in context, keeping in mind the statutes' nature and obvious purposes .... [and] harmonize the various parts of the enactments by considering them in the context of 6 the statutory [framework] as a whole"). The same statutory construction also applies to Section 66323(a)(3-4) in that an applicant must choose either detached ADUs or conversion of non-livable existing space up to 25% of the existing units.
d. The legislative history of the enactment of Section 66323(a) also contradicts HCD's interpretation, as described above. Both AB 68 and AB 881, which amended State ADU law in 2019 to include the current language of Section 66323(a), were enacted with multiple legislative reports evidencing that the legislature intended to allow a maximum of one ADU (either converted attached or new construction detached) and one JADU in single-family lots. For example, with respect to AB 68, the April 3, 2019 report titled "Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development", on page 4 under the heading "Relaxing ADU Standards", states: "[!]his bill makes major changes to the ADU statute to facilitate the development of more ADUs ... , including the following: Increases the number of ADUs allowed to be constructed per lot by potentially allowing two ADUs on lots with single-family homes, and multiple ADUs on lots with multi-family dwellings." Moreover, the April 24, 20219 report titled "Assembly Committee on Appropriations (Lorena Gonzalez, Chair AB 68 (Ting) - As Amended April 3, 2019)" on page 1 states that the bill amends the law by allowing "an ADU and a JADU on one lot, under specified conditions". Similar language is contained in the September 9, 2019 report titled "Concurrence in Senate Amendments", at page 2 ("This bill ... [i]ncreases the number of ADUs allowed to be constructed per lot by potentially allowing two ADUs on lots with single-family homes, and multiple ADUs on lots with multi-family dwellings.") Furthermore, the April 3, 2019 titled "Assembly Third Reading" on page 1 references two scenarios for a single family property: 1. a converted ADU and a JADU, or 2. a detached ADU and JADU. (Emphasis added). Additionally, under "comments" on page 5 of the July 10, 2019 report of the Senate Committee on Governance and Finance the following statement appears, describing the law: "AB 68 significantly expands the types of ADUs that cities and counties must permit regardless of local rules to include up to three units on a single-family lot: the primary dwelling, an ADU, and a JADU." (Emphasis added). Moreover, with respect to AB 881, the Senate Floor Analysis dated September 1, 2019 contains a table on page 5 that delineates that each single family lot may only have one JADU and one ADU.
7 e. Accordingly, Ordinance No. 5997's requirement regarding unit mixture, violates neither the plain language nor the intent of State ADU Law, and re-adoption of these provisions would thus not violate State ADU Law.

6. As to HCD's finding contained in its December 7, 2023 letter to the City regarding Stories alleging that the City's prohibition of new construction AD Us from being located directly above a detached garage contained in Ordinance No. 5997, contained in GMC Section 30.34.080(E)(7) & (F)(6), constitutes a violation of CA Gov't Code Section 66314(d)(3) (formerly CA Gov't Code Section 65852.2(a)(1)), the City Council finds as follows:
a. State ADU Law provides that a local agency's ordinance must require an ADU to be "either attached to, or located within, the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including attached garages, storage areas or similar uses, or an accessory structure or detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including detached garages." CA Gov't Code Section 66314(d)(3).
b. The plain language of Section 66314(d)(3) mandates that the City allow an ADU to be either attached to or located within the space of the primary dwelling (including attached garages and other areas that are attached), or mandates that the City allow an ADU to be converted from an accessory structure, or mandates that the City allow an ADU to be detached from the primary dwelling, including detached garages.

The City allows all of these scenarios in Ordinance No. 5997. Nothing in the language of Section 66314(d)(3) mandates that the City specifically allow an ADU to be newly constructed on top of a detached garage, and thus, the referenced section is in compliance with State Law.
c. Accordingly, Ordinance No. 5997's prohibition of new construction ADUs from being located directly above a detached garage, violates neither the plain language nor the intent of State ADU Law, and re­ adoption of these provisions would thus not violate State ADU Law.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:

SECTION 1. The above recitals and findings are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth.
8 SECTION 2. The above recitals and findings, setting forth the reasons that Ordinance No. 5997 complies with State ADU Law despite HCD's findings, are hereby adopted pursuant to CA Gov'! Code Section 66326(b), allowing the City Council to re­ adopt portions of Ordinance No. 5997 related to said findings without changes.

SECTION 3. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City Council hereby finds that this Resolution is exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15282(h) because this Resolution makes findings to readopt an ordinance to implement the provisions of former Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 (now codified in Article 2 [commencing with Section 66314] and Article 3 [commencing with Section 66333] of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of, the Government Code), second units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone. Moreover, this Resolution is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Title14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15060(c)(1 ), as it makes findings to readopt an ordinance to implement provisions of former Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 (now codified in Article 2 [commencing with Section 66314] and Article 3 [commencing with Section 66333] of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of, the Government Code), which require ministerial review and approval of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units and therefore, does not involve the exercise of discretionary powers by the City.
