TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF GREENFIELD DECLARING THE RESULTS OF BALLOTING
TABULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE XIIID OF THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION AND CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 53753, ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS AND CONFIRMING THE
DIAGRAMS AND ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE GREENFIELD
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 4 (APPLE AVENUE HOMES SUBDIVISION) PURSUANT TO THE
LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING ACT OF 1972 FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Apple Avenue Homes Subdivisions is an approved Final Map subdivision in the City of Greenfield. The developer has agreed, as a condition of development, in cooperating with the formation of a Special Maintenance Assessment District that will fund maintenance of Landscape and Lighting in this subdivision into the future.
Steps required by Council for formation of this District under Proposition 218 are:
1. Adopt a resolution to initiate proceedings for the formation of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 4 ("district"); and preliminary approval of the engineer’s report subject to pending proceedings, including balloting proceedings and noticed hearing proceedings concerning the district in accordance with California constitution article XIIID, California government code section 53753 and the 1972 Act; and declare its intention to order the levy and collect assessments for the district and set a public hearing on the formation of the district and levy of the proposed assessment pursuant to the 1972 Act. This first step was accomplished by action of Council on February 11th, 2025, which set a Hearing date set for April 8, 2025.
City Council Memorandum
599 El Camino Real Greenfield CA 93937 831-674-5591
51 2. A minimum of 45 Days having passed, Staff has provided to, and received back, a ballot from the sole property owner. By resolution, Council will declare the results of balloting tabulated in accordance with article XIIID of the California constitution and California government code section 53753, ordering improvements and confirming the diagrams and annual assessments for the City of Greenfield Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District No. 4 pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
Ballots have been received from owner of the parcels within the District. The City Clerk tabulated 1 ballot submitted and not withdrawn in support of the proposed Assessment, and 0 ballots submitted and not withdrawn in opposition to the proposed Assessment. Therefore, the ballots submitted and not withdrawn in opposition to the proposed Assessment did not exceed the ballots submitted and not withdrawn in support of the proposed Assessment, and thus a majority protest does not exist concerning formation of the Assessment.
The attached resolution, if approved, will complete the formation of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 4 (Apple Avenue Homes Subdivision).
FINANCIAL AND BUDGET IMPACT
None - Assessment District will fund the impact.
RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
To provide ongoing funding for the costs and expenses required to service and maintain the landscaping and lighting improvements and facilities associated with and resulting from the development of properties within the boundaries of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 4 (Apple Avenue Homes) (the “District”), pursuant to the requirements of the Landscape and Lighting Act of1972 (“1972 Act”) the City Council, on January 23, 2018 approved the formation of the District.
This report is being done to establish the District for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. The parcels in the District are specified as Apple Avenue Homes.
The benefit assessment shall be levied upon each parcel within the boundaries of each zone and the assessment levied upon each parcel shall be based solely on the benefit received from the respective zone. All of the parcels to be assessed are listed in Appendix "A".
As required by the Landscape and Lighting Act of1972, this Engineer's Report describes the improvements to be maintained and serviced by the District, provides an estimated budget for the District, and lists the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on April 8, 2025 to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the levy of assessments. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor's roll will be prepared and filed with the Monterey County Auditor-Controller's Office to be included on the FY 2025/2026 tax roll.
Payment of the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes. All funds collected through the assessment must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report. 63 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 2 II.

The residential area known as the Apple Avenue Homes, which encompasses an area of land totaling approximately four point fifty six acres (4.56 acres). The subdivision is situated in the eastern portion of the City of Greenfield east of Highway 101 and is generally located in the northeast corner of Apple Avenue and Third Street.

A. General
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance, and servicing of public lights, landscaping and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The method of apportionment described in this Report for allocation of special benefit assessments utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of the California Constitution. The formulas used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on the special benefits to each parcel.
B. Proposition 218 Benefit Analyses
In conjunction with the provisions of the 1972 Act, the California Constitution Article XIIID addresses several key criteria for the levy of assessments, notably:
Article XIIID Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agency to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”; Article XIIID Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIIID Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” 72 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 11 This District was formed to establish and provide for the improvements that enhance the presentation of the surrounding properties and developments. These improvements will directly benefit the parcels to be assessed within the District. The assessments and method of apportionment is based on the premise that the assessments will be used to construct and install landscape and lighting improvements within the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District as well as provide for the annual maintenance of those improvements, and the assessment revenues generated by District will be used solely for such purposes.
The costs of the proposed improvements have been identified and allocated to properties within the District based on special benefit. The improvements to be provided by this District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as an essential component and local amenity that provides a direct reflection and extension of the properties within the District which the property owners and residents have expressed a high level of support.
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) set forth in the Report is based on the premise that each assessed property receives special benefits from the landscape and lighting improvements within the District, and the assessment obligation for each parcel reflects that parcel’s proportional special benefits as compared to other properties that receive special benefits.
To identify and determine the proportional special benefit to each parcel within the District, it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the improvements provided as well as the properties that benefit from those improvements. The improvements and the associated costs described in this Report, have been carefully reviewed and have been identified and allocated based on a benefit rationale and calculations that proportionally allocate the net cost of only those improvements determined to be of special benefit to properties within the District. The various public improvements and the associated costs have been identified as either “general benefit” (not assessed) or “special benefit”.
Each of the existing or proposed improvements, and the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the California Constitution and 1972 Act. The improvements provided by this Annexation and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the Annexation territory to their full potential, consistent with the development plans and applicable portions of the City General Plan. As such, these improvements would be necessary and required of individual property owners for the development of such properties and the ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of these improvements would be the financial obligation of those properties. Therefore, the improvements and the annual costs of ensuring the maintenance and operation of the improvements are a distinct and special benefit to the properties within the District territory. Any improvement or portion thereof that is considered to be of general benefit shall be funded by other revenue sources and not included as part of the special benefit assessments allocated to properties within the District. 73 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 12 Special Benefit
The method of apportionment (method of assessment) established herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements and the desirability and security of those properties is enhanced by the presence of public lighting and well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to those properties.
The special benefits associated with landscape improvements are specifically:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District area resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties. • Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green space and landscaped areas. • Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District area through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.
The special benefits of street lighting and other public lighting facilities are the convenience, safety, and security of property, improvements, and goods. Specifically:
• Enhanced deterrence of crime and the aid to police protection. • Increased nighttime safety on roads, streets and public areas. • Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. • Improved ingress and egress to property.
• Reduced vandalism and other criminal act and damage to improvements or property. • Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss. 74 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 13 All of the preceding special benefits contribute to the esthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels within the District territory and thereby provide a special enhancement of the properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to properly service and maintain the District improvements would have a negative impact on the properties within the District.
General Benefit
In reviewing each of the District improvements, the proximity of those improvements to both properties within the District and those outside the District areas as well as the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements, it is evident that the improvements are solely the result of developing properties within the District area and the ongoing maintenance and operation of these improvements will directly affect the properties within the District. Although the improvements include public areas, easements, rights-of-way, and other amenities available or visible to the public at large, the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District and were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the improvements and the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of those improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District territory or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District.
C. Assessment Methodology
The method of apportionment for the District calculates the receipt of special benefit from the respective improvements based on the actual or proposed land use of the parcels within the District. The special benefit received by each lot or parcel is equated to the overall land use of parcels within the District based on the parcel’s actual land use or proposed development.
All costs associated with the improvements shall be fairly distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. Additionally, in compliance with the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4, each parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. The benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation is therefore based upon both the improvements that benefit the parcels within the District as well as the proposed land use of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those specific improvements.
To identify and determine the special benefit to be received by each parcel and their proportionate share of the improvement costs it is necessary to consider the entire scope of the planned improvements as well as individual property development within the District. Upon review of the proposed improvements it has been determined that each residential parcel within the two developments that make up the District receives special benefit from all the improvements to be funded by annual assessments for its own development. Based on the planned property development, four zones of benefit are appropriate for the allocation of the assessments and proportional benefit.
75 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 14 Equivalent Benefit Units
To assess benefits equitably it is necessary to relate each property’s proportional special benefits to the special benefits of all other properties within the District. The method of apportionment established for most districts formed under the 1972 Act utilizes a weighted method of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology that uses the single-family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home site equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) and all other land uses are converted to a weighted EBU based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site.
Although the Equivalent Benefit Unit method of apportioning special benefit is most commonly used and applied to districts that have a wide range of land use classifications (residential and non-residential use), this District is comprised of only residential properties and the following apportionment analysis of special benefit addresses only residential land uses. Not all land use types described in the following are necessarily applicable to the development of properties within this District but are presented for comparison purposes to support the proportional special benefit applied to those land use types within the District.
Single-family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assessed 1.00 EBU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that all other properties are compared and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Benefit Unit EBU).
Multi-family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property. (This land use typically includes apartments, duplexes, triplex etc., but does not generally include condominiums, town-homes, or mobile home parks).
Based on average population densities and size of the structure as compared to a typical singlefamily residential unit, multi-family residential parcels shall be proportionately assessed for the parcel’s total number of residential units utilizing a sliding benefit scale. Although multi-family properties typically receive similar benefits to that of a single-family residential, it would not be reasonable to conclude that on a per unit basis, the benefits are equal.
Studies have consistently shown that the average multi-family unit impacts infrastructure approximately 75% as much as a single-family residence (Sample Sources: Institute of Transportation Engineers Informational Report Trip Generation, Fifth Edition; Metcalf and Eddy, Wastewater Engineering Treatment, Disposal, Reuse, Third Edition). These various studies indicate that most public improvements and infrastructure are utilized and impacted at reduced levels by multi-family residential units and a similar reduction in proportional benefit is appropriate.
Furthermore, it is also reasonable to conclude that as the density (number of units) increases, the proportional benefit per unit tends to decline because the unit size and people per unit usually decreases. Based on these considerations and the improvements provided by this District, an appropriate allocation of special benefit for multi-family residential properties as compared to a single-family residential is best represented by the following special benefit assignment: 0.75 EBU per unit for the first 50 units; 0.50 EBU per unit for units 51 through 100; and 0.25 EBU per unit for all remaining units.
76 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 15 Condominium/Town-Home Units — Condominiums and town-homes tend to share attributes of both a single-family residential and multi-family residential properties and for this reason are identified as a separate land use classification. Like most single-family residential properties, these properties are not usually considered rental property and generally, the County assigns each unit a separate APN or assessment number. However, condominiums and town-homes often have similarities to multi-family residential properties in that they are generally zoned medium to high density and in some cases may involve multiple units on a single APN.
In consideration of these factors it has been determined that an appropriate allocation of special benefit for condominiums, town-homes and similar residential properties is best represented by an assignment of 0.75 EBU per unit regardless of whether each unit is assigned an individual APN or there are multiple units assigned to an APN. (There is no adjustment for parcels with more than five units).
Planned-Residential Development — This land use is defined as any property for which a tentative or final tract map has been filed and approved (a specific number of residential lots and units has been identified) and the property is expected to be subdivided within the fiscal year or is part of the overall improvement and development plan for the District. This land use classification often times involves more than a single parcel (e.g. the approved tract map encompasses more than a single APN).
Each parcel that is part of the approved tract map shall be assessed proportionately for the proposed or estimated residential type and units to be developed on that parcel as part of the approved tract map. Accordingly, each parcel is assigned an appropriate number of benefit units that reflects the development of that property at build-out. (The EBU assigned to each parcel shall represent the combination of single-family, condominium, multi-family units to be developed).
Vacant Residential — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for residential development, but a tentative or final tract map for the property has not yet been approved.
Based upon the opinions of professional appraisers who appraise market property values for real estate in California, the land value portion of a property typically ranges from 20 to 30 percent of the total value of a developed residential property (the average is about 25 percent).
Although the assessed value of an individual property is not a direct reflection of the property’s special benefit, this general correlation between land value and structure value does provide a reasonable basis for apportioning special benefit for vacant residential properties. Utilizing this twenty-five percent (25%) apportionment and the number of single family residential units typically developed per acre of land (an average of 4 residential units per acre) and Equivalent Benefit Unit of 1.0 EBU per acre (4units per acre x 25%) is derived and presents an appropriate apportionment of special benefit for vacant residential properties.
Recognizing that the full and timely utilization of vacant property is reduced as the size of the property increases, it has been determined that the maximum EBU assigned to a vacant residential parcel shall not exceed 25.0 EBU (parcels in excess of 25 acres are assigned 25.0 EBU). Parcels less than one acre in size shall be assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU (similar to a vacant lot within a residential tract).
77 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 16 Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned
0.00 EBU. This land use classification may include but is not limited to:
• Lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); Dedicated public easements including open space areas, utility rights-of-way, greenbelts, parkways, parks, or other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or may provide other benefits to private properties within the District;
• Private properties that cannot be developed independently from an adjacent property, such as common areas, sliver parcels or bifurcated lots or properties with very restrictive development use;
These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment but shall be reviewed annually by the assessment engineer to confirm the parcels current development status. Government owned properties or public properties are not necessarily exempt properties and shall be subject to special benefit assessment unless it qualifies for an exempt status.
Special Cases — In many districts where multiple land use classifications are involved, there is usually one or more properties that the standard land use classifications do not accurately identify the special benefits received from the improvements. For example, a parcel may be identified as a Vacant Residential property, however only a small percentage of the parcel’s total acreage can actually be developed. In this case, an appropriate calculation would be based on the net acreage that can be utilized rather than the gross acreage of the parcel.
The following table provides a summary of land use classifications and the Equivalent Benefit Unit calculations previously outlined.

78 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 17 Land Uses and Equivalent Benefit Units
The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).
Parcel Type EBU x Acres or Units = Parcel EB
The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU’s) is the sum of all individual EBU's applied to parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements. An assessment amount per EBU (Assessment Rate) for the improvements is established by taking the total cost of the improvements and dividing that amount by the total number of EBU’s of all parcels benefiting from the improvements. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for the improvements.
Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy per EBU
Levy per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
It is hereby specifically provided that the City shall establish a special contingency reserve (the "Special Reserve") for the Annexation. The purpose of the Special Reserve is to provide funds for extraordinary maintenance costs stemming from forces of nature (wind, freezing, earthquakes, storms, disease) and/or vandalism or accidental damage and to thereby help to avoid significant increases in the annual Assessment. Moneys in the Special Reserve will be invested under applicable City policies and guidelines in investments authorized for the City.
Earnings on the Special Reserve may be applied to the purposes of the Special Reserve, and then such additional amounts may be applied against the Annual Assessment for the next ensuing fiscal year. In no event shall there be any cash distribution of money in the Special Reserve.
It is expected that the Annual Assessments shall be levied so long as the City is providing maintenance as shown in Part A of the Engineer's Report or any part thereof. If less than entire amount of maintenance is being provided, the City shall take such decrease into account when computing the Annual Assessment. If the City ceases the maintenance entirely, the Annual Assessment shall cease at the end of the fiscal year in which such maintenance ends.
D. Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law.
Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. 79 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 18 The Assessment Range Formula for this District shall be applied to all future assessments and is generally defined:
If the proposed annual assessment (levy per EBU) for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.
The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the (Initial) Maximum Assessment Rate established for FY 2025/2026 adjusted annually by the annual percentage change (as of February 1) in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of “All Urban Consumers” for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Area. If for any reason, the percentage amount for a fiscal year is a negative number the maximum assessment shall not be decreased by reason of such negative number and shall remain at the amount as computed the previous fiscal year.
As of February 1, of each fiscal year after the base year and beginning in the second fiscal year (FY 2025/2026) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated, and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the Annexation’s annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on available data provided by the U.S.
Department of Labor; Bureau of Labor Statistics at the time the annual Report is prepared.
Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the calculated (adjusted) Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is significantly greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
Likewise, modifications to the method of apportionment that increases the proportional special benefit assigned to a particular land use classification would be considered an increased assessment. Conversely, reductions in the proportional special benefit assigned to land use classifications are permitted. Changes in land use or size of an individual property resulting in an assessment increase, is not considered an increased assessment.
To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners through the balloting process must approve a proposed new or increased assessment before such an assessment may be imposed.
As part of the District, property owners shall be balloted for a special benefit assessment necessary for the annual operation and maintenance of the improvements within the District areas. Although this Report establishes an assessment amount for each of the existing properties within the District and this amount is used to determine if majority protest exists in the ballot tabulation, these assessments are based on the initial maximum assessment rate and method of apportionment described in this Report. The notice and ballot presented to the property owners identifies the initial maximum assessment rate and the Assessment Range Formula described above and is the basis upon which the property owners cast their ballots. 80 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 19 The assessment per parcel for FY 2025/2026 is subject to adjustment based upon the annual change in the Consumer Price Index as described hereinafter as of February 1 of each fiscal year after the base year the maximum amount of each assessment shall be increased by a percentage that is the percentage increase in the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U): San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. If for any reason the percentage amount for a fiscal year is a negative number, the maximum assessment shall not be decreased by reason of such negative number and shall remain at the amount as computed the previous fiscal year.
It is hereby specifically provided that the City shall establish a special contingency reserve (the "Special Reserve") for the District. The purpose of the Special Reserve is to provide funds for extraordinary maintenance costs stemming from forces of nature (wind, freezing, earthquakes, storms, disease) and/or vandalism or accidental damage and to thereby help to avoid significant increases in the annual Assessment. Moneys in the Special Reserve will be invested under applicable City policies and guidelines in investments authorized for the City. Earnings on the Special Reserve may be applied to the purposes of the Special Reserve, and then such additional amounts may be applied against the Annual Assessment for the next ensuing fiscal year. In no event shall there be any cash distribution of money in the Special Reserve.
It is expected that the Annual Assessments shall be levied so long as the City is providing maintenance as shown in Part A of the Engineer's Report or any part thereof. If less than entire amount of maintenance is being provided, the City shall take such decrease into account when computing the Annual Assessment. If the City ceases the maintenance entirely, the Annual Assessment shall cease at the end of the fiscal year in which such maintenance ends. 81 Fiscal Year 2025/26 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No.4 Page 20 VII. PART E – ASSESSOR’S PARCEL LIST
Parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the District is based on available parcel maps and property data from the Monterey County Assessor’s Office at the time the Engineer’s Report was prepared. A listing of the proposed lots and parcels to be assessed within the District along with the assessment amounts is provided herein.
Non-assessable lots or parcels may include but are not limited to public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas, rights-of-way, common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has little or no value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate described in this Report as approved by the City Council.
Therefore, if a single parcel is subdivided to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following is a list of the parcels and proposed assessment amounts for each of the parcels within the District as determined by the assessment rates and method of apportionment described herein:

Background Information
To provide ongoing funding for the costs and expenses required to service and maintain the street and storm drain improvements and facilities associated with and resulting from District No. 4, Walnut Travel Center (Zone 1a) and Apple Avenue Homes (Zone 1b) (the “District”), pursuant to the requirements of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, the City Council, on January 23, 2018 approved the formation of the District.
This report is being done to establish the District for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. The parcels in the District are specified as Walnut Travel Center and Apple Avenue Homes.
The benefit assessment shall be levied upon each parcel within the boundaries of each zone and the assessment levied upon each parcel shall be based solely on the benefit received from the respective zone. All of the parcels to be assessed are listed in Appendix "A".
As required by the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, this Engineer's Report describes the improvements to be maintained and serviced by the District, provides an estimated budget for the District, and lists the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.
The City will hold a Public Hearing on April 8, 2025 to provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. At the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution confirming the levy of assessments. Following the adoption of this resolution, the final assessor's roll will be prepared and filed with the Monterey County Auditor-Controller's Office to be included on the FY 2025/2026 tax roll.
95 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
This Engineer’s Report has been prepared pursuant to the provision of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, being Chapter 6.4, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California for the City of Greenfield, County of Monterey, in connection with the proceedings for:
CITY OF GREENFIELD
STREET AND DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT No. 4
(Walnut Travel Center and Apple Avenue Homes)
Hereinafter referred to as the "District", submitted herewith the "Report" consisting of five (5) parts as follows:
PART A – The Plans and Specifications
A description of the District boundaries and the proposed improvements associated with the District. The District was formed with two benefit zones encompassing all properties within the territories identified as the non-residential subdivision of Walnut Travel Center and the residential subdivision of Apple Avenue Homes.
PART B – The Method of Apportionment
A discussion of the benefits, the improvements and services provide to properties within the District, and the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit and annual assessment. This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula that provides for an annual adjustment to the maximum assessment rate that establishes limits on future assessments, but also provides for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation without the added expense of additional property owner protest ballot proceedings.
PART C – The Zone Budgets
An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain and service the street and storm drain improvements and facilities installed and constructed as part of the development of properties within the District and its Zones. This budget includes an estimate of anticipated direct maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to administration expenses and the collection of appropriate fund balances to establish an initial maximum assessment to be approved by the property owners of record. The special benefit assessments are based on the overall operation costs minus any costs that are considered general benefit. The proposed assessments for the first fiscal year (2025/2026), and each subsequent year shall be based on the estimated net annual cost of operating, maintaining, and servicing the District and Zone improvements for that fiscal year as well as funds to be collected in installments to perform maintenance activities that cannot be reasonably collected in a single fiscal year’s assessments.
The proposed maximum assessment (Rate per Equivalent Benefit Unit) identified in the budget of this Report establishes the initial maximum assessment for the District and each Zone in fiscal year 2025/2026 and shall be adjusted annually by the Assessment Range Formula described in the method of apportionment.
PART D – District Diagram
The District Diagram is based on the Monterey County Assessor’s Maps and the Monterey County Assessor’s information and identifies all the parcels of land within the proposed District, as the same existed at the time this Report was prepared. The combination of this map and the 96 Assessment Roll contained in this Report constitute the District Assessment Diagram. Parcel identification, the lines and dimensions of each lot, parcel and subdivision of land within the District, are inclusive of all parcels as shown on the Monterey County Assessor's Parcel Maps as they existed at the time of the passage of the Resolution of Intention, and shall include all subsequent subdivisions, lot-line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the Monterey County Assessor’s maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District.
PART E – The Assessment Roll
A listing of the assessment amount of the estimated cost of the improvements and services for each parcel within the District based on the parcel’s proportional special benefit as outlined in the method of apportionment and the proposed initial maximum assessment rate. The Assessment Roll is filed in the Office of the City of Greenfield City Clerk and is incorporated within this report in Part E. A Benefiting Properties within the District. 97 III. PART A – THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
A. Benefiting Properties within the District
The territory within the District consists of two separate benefit Zones and consists of all lots, parcels and subdivisions of land within the residential and non-residential subdivisions described below:
Walnut Travel Center, Zone 1a
The non-residential subdivision known as the Walnut Travel Center, which encompasses an area of land totaling approximately one point four acres (1.4 acres). The non-residential subdivision is situated in the eastern portion of the City of Greenfield east of Highway 101 and is generally located in the southeast corner of Walnut Avenue and El Paseo Way.
The parcels within Walnut Travel Center at the time this Report was prepared are identified by the map recorded in Volume 1 of “Cities and Towns” at page 64 a division of Lot 148.
Apple Avenue Homes, Zone 1b
The residential area known as the Apple Avenue Homes, which encompasses an area of land totaling approximately four point fifty six acres (4.56 acres). The residential area is situated in the eastern portion of the City of Greenfield east of Highway 101 and is generally located in the northeast corner of Apple Avenue and Third Street.
The parcels within Apple Avenue Homes at the time this Report was prepared are identified by the map recorded in Volume 1 of “Cities and Towns” at page 64 a division of Lot 145.
B. Funding authorized by the 1982 Act
As generally defined by the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 and applicable to this District, the City may impose a benefit assessment to finance the maintenance and operation costs of the following services:
• Drainage and Flood Control
• Streets and Roads;
In addition to imposing a benefit assessment for the annual maintenance and operation of the District improvements, the City may also authorize an assessment or utilize existing assessment revenues to finance the installation, construction or replacement of drainage and flood control facilities as well as the street and road improvements (with some limitations). While such activities are permitted under the 1982 Act, the budget and assessments for this District only provide for normal maintenance and operation of the improvements. Since most major rehabilitation/construction projects result from unforeseen damages, the extent and cost of such projects are not easily predicted and to accumulate funds as part of the normal annual assessments would not be reasonable. If such funding becomes necessary, the City may present a new or increased assessment to the property owners to support the projects. 98 C. Description of Improvements and Services
The purpose of this District is to fund the activities necessary to maintain and service the local streets and the drainage and flood control systems constructed and installed in connection with development of properties within the non-residential subdivision known as Walnut Travel Center and residential subdivision known as Apple Avenue Homes, pursuant to approved development plans and agreements. The improvements may consist of all or a portion of the public streets, drainage and flood control facilities associated with the Walnut Travel Center, Apple Avenue Homes and the maintenance of these improvements may include but are not limited to all materials, equipment, labor, and incidental expenses deemed necessary to keep these improvements in satisfactory condition. The maintenance of the improvements and related activities shall be funded entirely or partially through the District assessments. The District and Zone improvements and services are generally described as:
• Street maintenance that may include but is not limited to the repair and servicing of street surfaces, curbs, gutters, bridges, driveway approaches, sidewalks, barricades, delineation, signage or other facilities within the public street rights-of-way installed in connection with the development of properties in the Walnut Travel Center, Apple Avenue Homes and that have been dedicated to the City;
• Storm drain and flood control maintenance that may include but is not limited to inspection, repair and servicing of drainage basins, inlets, catch basins, manholes, basin, outlets, drywells, pumps, filters and storm drain pipes installed in connection with the development of properties of the Walnut Travel Center and Apple Avenue Homes as well as any off-site improvements and facilities directly associated with the aforementioned infrastructure that is deemed necessary to service or protect the properties including waste water treatment;
• All appurtenant, equipment, materials and service contracts related to the aforementioned improvements and facilities;
• Specifically excluded are those improvements or facilities: located on private property or common areas; that may be provided or maintained by an agency other than the City; that may be provided by another assessment or tax levied by the City; or that may be provided and maintained by a Homeowner’s Association or similar entity.
Detailed maps and descriptions of the location and extent of the specific improvements to be maintained by the District are on file in the Office of Public Works and by reference are made part of this Report. Those portions of the District improvements that may be identified as general benefit or will be funded in whole or in part by other revenue sources as part of the approved development agreements, will not be included as part of the District assessments. The annual cost to provide and maintain the improvements determined to be of special benefit shall be allocated to each property in proportion to the special benefits received. 99 Street Maintenance
The street maintenance program may include but is not limited to: the repair of potholes, cracks or other failures in the asphalt surface; repair or replacement of curbs, gutters, driveway approaches and sidewalks as required as part of maintaining the streets; repair or installation of street signs, barricades, fencing or other delineation; mechanized sweeping and cleaning of the streets and gutters; slurry sealing, overlays and re-striping of the street surfaces. The specific activities and timing of various street and road maintenance services shall be determined by the City’s Public Works Department as necessary to extend the life of the streets or to improve traffic circulation and safety as available funding permits.
Specifically, the street improvements for this District are identified as:
Walnut Travel Center, Zone No. 1a (Street Maintenance)
• Approximately 16,900 square feet of asphalt street surface located on the perimeter of the development (7,900 square feet on the south half of Walnut Avenue, 9,000 square feet on the interior street);
• Approximately 620 linear feet of curb and gutter;
• Approximately 69 linear feet of curb and gutter in and around the center island.; and • Approximately 2 driveway approaches, 3720 square feet of sidewalks and various street signs within the Zone No. 1a area.
Apple Avenue Homes, Zone No. 1b (Street Maintenance)
• Approximately 58,600 square feet of asphalt street surface located on the perimeter of the development (7,200 square feet on the north half of Apple Avenue, 19,200 square feet on the east half of Third Street and 32,200 square feet on the interior streets); • Approximately 2680 linear feet of curb and gutter; and • Approximately 37 driveway approaches, 10,800 square feet of sidewalks and various street signs within the Zone No. 1b area.
Specifically, not included as part of the street maintenance program are the costs associated with major replacements or reconstruction. Although the District assessments will provide funding for regular maintenance and servicing of the improvements that will extend the useful life of the street improvements, the assessments are not intended to fund major replacements or reconstruction of the street surfaces or adjacent improvements such as curbs, gutters, or driveway approaches. The costs of extensive replacement or reconstruction activities such as grinding and resurfacing of the asphalt; and replacement of curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, and sidewalks is significantly more than the amount that can reasonably be collected annually under the provisions of the 1982 Act. When such repairs or activities are deemed necessary, the City will consider various financing options including new or increased assessments for property owner approval.
The Public Works Department shall authorize all operational activities and maintenance of the public street and right-of-way improvements, facilities and services that may include, but are not limited to:
• Regular street sweeping services necessary to control dirt and debris on street surfaces and gutters;
100
• Annual inspection of street surface and repair of potholes and surface cracks as needed; • Periodic slurry or overly of street surfaces and driveway approaches (typically one or the other once every five years);
• Periodic re-striping of traffic lanes, bike lanes, street parking areas, crosswalks, and intersections (typically in conjunction with slurry or overly activities); • Graffiti abatement of public improvements within the street rights-of-way that are maintained by the District including but not limited to sandblasting, repainting and repair of fences, walls, barricades, sidewalks and signage as needed; • Annual inspection and periodic repair or replacement of decorative street-pavers as needed;
• Annual inspection and minor repairs of curbs, gutters, driveway approaches and sidewalks including partial segment replacements as needed to ensure pedestrian and vehicle safety or the integrity of the street;
• Annual inspection and periodic repair or rehabilitation of street signs and traffic control devices;
• Annual inspection and repair of barricades, street-fencing, delineation or retaining walls within the street rights-of-way as needed;
A portion of the services described above are not performed on an annual basis but rather on a periodic basis such as slurry sealing or overlaying the asphalt streets and the funds necessary for these activities are collected in installments as part of the annual assessments. The monies collected each year for these services will be accumulated in a special fund of the District (Reserve Fund or Capital Improvement Fund). The monies accumulated for these activities shall be spent when sufficient funds have been accumulated to perform the services deemed necessary by the City (approximately every five years). This process of accumulating funds (installments) shall continue until such time the District is dissolved; or the City determines that such funding procedures require modification. Changes in the process of accumulating funds that would result in an increase to the annual assessment rate must be presented to the property owners for approval prior to imposing such an increase.
Storm Drain and Flood Control Maintenance
The storm drain and flood control system associated with the District may include but is not limited to: drainage basins and bio-filters; channel ways; storm drain inlets, catch basins, manholes, outlets; drywells, pumps, filters and pipes. The storm drain system to be maintained primarily involves on-site facilities (within the District boundaries) but may also include off-site improvements such as water treatment equipment, facilities or services mandated or required by Federal, State or County regulations for water pollution control. The annual assessments for this District are intended to support a storm drain and flood control maintenance program that will adequately regulate and control storm water runoff resulting from the development of properties within the District. This maintenance program may include but is not limited to:
inspection and documentation of the system; cleaning, servicing or repair of the facilities and equipment; and the partial replacement or rehabilitation of equipment and facilities.
The storm drain and flood control system includes but is not limited to:
101
Walnut Travel Center, Zone No. 1a (Non-Residential)
• Approximately 17,000 square feet of retention pond (percolation pond or drainage basin) area. The Walnut Travel Center shares the pond with the Walnut and 3rd Apartments to its north, Greenfield Community Park to the south, and future Robasciotti Commercial and Residential Development located east of Highway 101, south of Walnut Avenue and west of Third Street. The proportional shares of volume flow are estimated to be approximately 2% from Walnut Travel Center, 6% from Greenfield Community Park, 18% from Walnut and 3rd Apartments, and 76% from future Robasciotti Commercial and Residential Development. Therefore, the proportion of improvement costs allocated to Walnut Travel Center and to be maintained by the proposed benefit assessment district Zone No. 1a area are based on a volume of approximately 17,000 CF (340 square feet for Walnut Travel Center).
• 1 storm drain inlet located on El Paseo Way; and
Apple Avenue Homes, Zone No. 1b (Residential)
• 1 storm drain manholes located in the Apple Avenue Homes; and • 2 storm drain inlet located within the Apple Avenue Homes and 1 storm drain inlet on Apple Avenue; and
• Approximately 190 linear feet of storm drain pipe ranging from 12 inches to 18 inches in diameter (13 feet of 12 inch, 177 feet of 18 inch) within Apple Avenue Homes and on Third Street.
The Public Works Department shall authorize and schedule all operational activities and maintenance of the storm drain and storm water pollution treatment infrastructure, facilities and services that may include, but are not limited to:
• Cleaning of storm drain inlets, catch basins, manholes and pipes as needed; • Stencil maintenance and documentation of facilities as required by Federal, State or County regulations;
• Cleaning and landscape maintenance of the drainage basins, bio-filter areas or channel ways as needed;
• Debris removal and pest control in and around the storm drain facilities as needed; • Minor repairs and maintenance of the storm drain inlets, catch basins and outlets as needed;
• Street sweeping services necessary to control debris and water flow for the storm drain system; and,
• All operational costs related to NPDES compliance requirements.
A portion of the services described above are not performed on an annual basis but rather on a periodic basis such as minor repairs to the storm drain inlets, catch basins and outlets, and the funds necessary for these activities are collected in installments as part of the annual assessments. The monies collected each year for these services will be accumulated in a special fund of the District (Reserve Fund or Capital Improvement Fund). The monies 102
accumulated for these activities shall be spent as needed to perform the services deemed necessary by the City. This process of accumulating funds (installments) shall continue until such time the District is dissolved; or the City determines that such funding procedures require modification. Changes in the process of accumulating funds that would result in an increase to the annual assessment rate must be presented to the property owners for approval prior to imposing such an increase.

PART B – THE METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. General
The 1982 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing for the maintenance, operation and servicing of drainage and flood control improvements as well as streets, roads and appurtenant facilities. The 1982 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
“The amount of the assessment imposed on any parcel of property shall be related to the benefit to the parcel which will be derived from the provision of the service”.
Furthermore:
“The annual aggregate amount of the assessment shall not exceed the estimated annual cost of providing the service, except that the legislative body may, by resolution, determine that the estimated cost of work authorized … is greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment and order that the estimated cost shall be raised by an assessment levied and collected in installments…. The revenue derived from the assessment shall not be used to pay the cost of any service other than the service for which the assessment was levied.”
The method of apportionment described in this Report for allocation of special benefit assessments utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices in compliance with the provisions of the 1982 Act and the California Constitution. The formulas used for calculating assessments reflects the composition of parcels within the District and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on the special benefits to each parcel.
B. Benefit Analysis
Each of the proposed improvements and services, and the associated costs and assessments have been carefully reviewed, identified and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the 1982 Act and the California Constitution. The street and storm drain improvements associated with this District were necessary and essential requirements for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with the development plans and applicable portions of the City General Plan. As such the ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of those improvements would otherwise be the direct financial obligation of each individual property owner. Since each parcel to be assessed within the District could not have been developed in the absence of these improvements and facilities, each parcel has a direct investment in the proper maintenance of the improvements that is over and above any general benefits that may be conferred by such improvements and services.
Clearly the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the District improvements is an integral part of the appearance, use and preservation of the properties within the District and such services to be funded by annual assessments confer a particular and distinct special benefit to those parcels. The proper maintenance of streets and appurtenant facilities allows individual parcels to be used to their fullest extent by ensuring the safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the benefiting properties Likewise, the maintenance and servicing of the storm drain system ensures proper water flow and control of excess water during periods of rain, which is essential to preservation and protection of private property. Together the maintenance and servicing of the streets and storm drain system contributes to a specific 104
enhancement of each of the parcels within the District and the absence of adequate maintenance and servicing of the District improvements could eventually have a negative impact on properties within the District.
Although the improvements may include public streets and storm drain facilities that connect to similar facilities outside the District boundaries, it is clear that the construction and installation of these improvements were only necessary for the development of properties within the District.
As such, these improvements were not required nor necessarily desired by any properties or developments outside the District boundary and any public access or use of the improvements by others is incidental. Therefore, it has been determined that the ongoing maintenance, servicing and operation of the District improvements provide no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large, but clearly provide distinct and special benefits to properties within the District. Any improvement or portion thereof (particularly off-site storm drain facilities) that may be considered general benefit shall be funded by other revenue sources and not included as part of the special benefit assessments allocated to properties within this District. However, the costs associated with installation or improvement of any off-site facilities that benefit the parcels within this District as well as other properties (shared benefit) may be allocated to the parcels within the District based on their proportional special benefit from such improvements.
C. Assessment Methodology
All costs associated with the improvements and services shall be fairly distributed among the parcels based upon the special benefit received by each parcel. Additionally, in compliance with the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4, each parcel’s assessment may not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred to that parcel. The benefit formula used to determine the assessment obligation is therefore based upon both the improvements that benefit the parcels within the District as well as the proposed land use of each property as compared to other parcels that benefit from those specific improvements.
The method of apportionment established for this District and described herein, reflects the proportional special benefit each property receives from the improvements and services based on the actual or proposed land use of that parcel as compared to other properties within the District and Zone based on similarities and differences in parcel land use.
Upon review of the improvements and the proposed development of properties within the District it has been determined that all residential properties within each proposed Zone receive similar special benefits from each of the improvements and services to be funded by annual assessments for that Zone and that four zones of benefit are appropriate for the allocation of the assessments and proportional special benefit.
Equivalent Benefit Units
To assess benefits equitably it is necessary to relate each property’s proportional special benefits to the special benefits of all other properties within the District and Zone. The method of apportionment established for most districts formed under the 1982 Benefit Act utilizes a weighted method of apportionment known as an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) methodology that that uses the single-family home site as the basic unit of assessment. A single-family home site equals one Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) and all other land uses are converted to a weighted EBU based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific 105
development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to a single-family home site.
Although the Equivalent Benefit Unit method of apportioning special benefit is most commonly used and applied to districts that have a wide range of land use classifications (residential and non-residential use), this District and its Zones are comprised of only residential properties and the following apportionment analysis of special benefit addresses only residential land uses. Not all land use types described in the following are necessarily applicable to the development of properties within this District and its Zones but are presented for comparison purposes to support the proportional special benefit applied to those land use types within the District and its Zones.
EBU Application by Land Use
Single-family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assessed 1.00 EBU per lot or parcel. This is the base value that all other properties are compared and weighted against (i.e. Equivalent Benefit Unit EBU).
Multi-family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential parcel that has more than one residential unit developed on the property. (This land use typically includes apartments, duplexes, triplex etc., but does not generally include condominiums, town-homes or mobile home parks). Based on average population densities and size of the structure as compared to a typical single-family residential unit, multi-family residential parcels shall be proportionately assessed for the parcel’s total number of residential units utilizing a sliding benefit scale. Although multi-family properties typically receive similar benefits to that of a single-family residential, it would not be reasonable to conclude that on a per unit basis, the benefits are equal. Studies have consistently shown that the average multi-family unit impacts infrastructure approximately 75% as much as a single-family residence (Sample Sources:
Institute of Transportation Engineers Informational Report Trip Generation, Fifth Edition; Metcalf and Eddy, Wastewater Engineering Treatment, Disposal, Reuse, Third Edition). These various studies indicate that most public improvements and infrastructure are utilized and impacted at reduced levels by multi-family residential units and a similar reduction in proportional benefit is appropriate. Furthermore, it is also reasonable to conclude that as the density (number of units) increases, the proportional benefit per unit tends to decline because the unit size and people per unit usually decreases. Based on these considerations and the improvements provided by this District, an appropriate allocation of special benefit for multi-family residential properties as compared to a single-family residential is best represented by the following special benefit.
Condominium/Town-Home Units — Condominiums and town-homes tend to share attributes of both a single-family residential and multi-family residential properties and for this reason are identified as a separate land use classification. Like most single-family residential properties, these properties are not usually considered rental property and generally, the County assigns each unit a separate APN or assessment number. However, condominiums and town-homes often have similarities to multi-family residential properties in that they are generally zoned medium to high density and in some cases may involve multiple units on a single APN. In consideration of these factors it has been determined that an appropriate allocation of special benefit for condominiums, town-homes and similar residential properties is best represented by 106
an assignment of 0.75 EBU per unit regardless of whether each unit is assigned an individual APN or there are multiple units assigned to an APN. (There is no adjustment for parcels with more than five units).
Non-residential parcels will be assessed two EDU per 1,000 square feet of building area.
Planned-Residential Development — This land use is defined as any property for which a tentative or final tract map has been filed and approved (a specific number of residential lots and units has been identified) and the property is expected to be subdivided within the fiscal year or is part of the overall improvement and development plan for the District. This land use classification often times involves more than a single parcel (e.g. the approved tract map encompasses more than a single APN). Each parcel that is part of the approved tract map shall be assessed proportionately for the proposed or estimated residential type and units to be developed on that parcel as part of the approved tract map. Accordingly, each parcel is assigned an appropriate number of benefit units that reflects the development of that property at build-out. (The EBU assigned to each parcel shall represent the combination of single-family, condominium, multi-family units to be developed).
Vacant Residential — This land use is defined as property currently zoned for residential development, but a tentative or final tract map for the property has not yet been approved.
Based upon the opinions of professional appraisers who appraise market property values for real estate in California, the land value portion of a property typically ranges from 20 to 30 percent of the total value of a developed residential property (the average is about 25 percent).
Although the assessed value of an individual property is not a direct reflection of the property’s special benefit, this general correlation between land value and structure value does provide a reasonable basis for apportioning special benefit for vacant residential properties.
Utilizing this twenty-five percent (25%) apportionment and the number of single-family residential units typically developed per acre of land (an average of 4 residential units per acre) and Equivalent Benefit Unit of 1.0 EBU per acre (4 units per acre x 25%) is derived and presents an appropriate apportionment of special benefit for vacant residential properties.
Recognizing that the full and timely utilization of vacant property is reduced as the size of the property increases, it has been determined that the maximum EBU assigned to a vacant residential parcel shall not exceed 25.0 EBU (parcels in excess of 25 acres are assigned 25.0 EBU). Parcels less than one acre shall be assigned a minimum of 1.0 EBU (similar to a vacant lot within a residential tract).
Exempt Parcels — This land use identifies properties that are not assessed and are assigned
0.00 EBU. This land use classification may include but is not limited to:
• Lots or parcels identified as public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County);
• Dedicated public easements including open space areas, utility rights-of-way, greenbelts, parkways, parks or other publicly owned properties that are part of the District improvements or may provide other benefits to private properties within the District.; and
107
• Private properties that cannot be developed independently from an adjacent property, such as common areas, sliver parcels or bifurcated lots or properties with very restrictive development use.
These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment but shall be reviewed annually by the assessment engineer to confirm the parcels current development status. Government owned properties or public properties are not necessarily exempt properties and shall be subject to special benefit assessment unless it qualifies for an exempt status.
Special Cases — In many districts where multiple land use classifications are involved, there is usually one or more properties that the standard land use classifications do not accurately identify the special benefits received from the improvements. For example, a parcel may be identified as a Vacant Residential property, however only a small percentage of the parcel’s total acreage can actually be developed. In this case, an appropriate calculation would be based on the net acreage that can be utilized rather than the gross acreage of the parcel.
The following table provides a summary of land use classifications and the Equivalent Benefit Unit calculations previously outlined.
Property Type
Equivalent
Benefit Units Multiplier
Single-family Residential 1.000 per Unit/Lot/Parcel
Multi-Family Residential
0.750 per Unit for the First 50 Units
0.500 per Unit for Units 51-100
0.250 per Unit for all remaining Units
Condominium/Town-home Units 0.750 per Unit
Planned-Residential Development
1.000 per Planned SF-Residential Lot
0.750 per Planned Condominium
0.750 per Unit for the First 50 Units
0.500 per Unit for Units 51-100
0.250 per Unit for all remaining Units
Non-residential 2.000 per 1000 SF Building Area
Vacant Residential Land 1.000 per Acre
Exempt Parcels 0.000 per Parcel
The following formula is used to calculate each parcel’s EBU (proportional benefit).
Parcel Type EBU x Acres or Units = Parcel EBU
The total number of Equivalent Benefit Units (EBU’s) is the sum of all individual EBU's applied to parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements. For each of the four Zones, an assessment amount per EBU (Assessment Rate) for the improvements is established by taking the total cost of the improvements and dividing that amount by the total number of EBU’s of all parcels benefiting from the improvements. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to determine the parcel’s proportionate benefit and assessment obligation for the improvements. Then, for each Zone:
Total Balance to Levy / Total EBU = Levy per EBU
Levy per EBU x Parcel EBU = Parcel Levy Amount
108
D. Assessment Range Formula
Any new or increased assessment requires certain noticing and meeting requirements by law.
Prior to the passage of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID), legislative changes in the Brown Act defined a "new or increased assessment" to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included "any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed." This definition and conditions were later confirmed through Senate Bill 919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation).
The purpose of establishing an Assessment Range Formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustment to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. As part of the District formation, the notice and assessment ballots presented to the property owners for approval, includes a maximum assessment amount for fiscal year 2025/2026 (initial maximum assessment), identification of the corresponding maximum assessment rate and a summary of the Assessment Range Formula described herein.
The Assessment Range Formula for this District shall be applied to all future assessments and is generally defined:
• If the proposed annual assessment (levy per EBU) for the upcoming fiscal year is less than or equal to the adjusted Maximum Assessment Rate, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.
• The Maximum Assessment Rate is equal to the (Initial) Maximum Assessment Rate established for fiscal year 2025/2026 adjusted annually by the annual percentage change (as of February 1) in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of “All Urban Consumers” for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Area.
Beginning in the second fiscal year (fiscal year 2025/2026) and each fiscal year thereafter, the Maximum Assessment Rate will be recalculated, and a new Maximum Assessment Rate established for the fiscal year utilizing the Assessment Range Formula described above. The Maximum Assessment Rate shall be calculated independent of the District’s annual budget and proposed assessment. The annual percentage change in CPI shall be based on available data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor; Bureau of Labor Statistics. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system as approved by the City Council for determining fluctuations in the cost of living.
Any proposed annual assessment (rate per EBU) less than or equal to the calculated (adjusted) Maximum Assessment Rate is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is significantly greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
Likewise, modifications to the method of apportionment that increases the proportional special benefit assigned to a particular land use classification would be considered an increased assessment. Conversely, reductions in the proportional special benefit assigned to land use classifications is permitted. Changes in land use or size of an individual property resulting in an assessment increase, is not considered an increased assessment. 109
To impose a new or increased assessment other than the annual inflationary adjustment provided by the preceding Assessment Range Formula, the City must comply with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID Section 4c, that requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures including mailed notice of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Property owners through the balloting process must approve a proposed new or increased assessment before such an assessment may be imposed.
As part of the District formation, property owners shall be balloted for a special benefit assessment necessary for the annual operation and maintenance of the District improvements.
Although this Report establishes an assessment amount for each of the existing properties within the District and this amount is used to determine if majority protest exists in the ballot tabulation, these assessments are based on the initial maximum assessment rate and method of apportionment described in this Report. The notice and ballot presented to the property owners identifies the initial maximum assessment rate and the Assessment Range Formula described above and is the basis upon which the property owners cast their ballots. 110

PART E – ASSESSMENT ROLL SUMMARY
Parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the District is based on the Assessment Diagrams presented herein and is based on available parcel maps and property data from the Monterey County Assessor’s Office at the time the Engineer’s Report was prepared. A listing of the proposed lots and parcels to be assessed within this District along with the assessment amounts is provided herein.
Non-assessable lots or parcels may include but are not limited to public streets and other roadways (typically not assigned an APN by the County); dedicated public easements, open space areas, rights-of-way, common areas; landlocked parcels, small parcels vacated by the County, bifurcated lots, and any other property that cannot be developed or has little or no value. These types of parcels are considered to receive little or no benefit from the improvements and are therefore exempted from assessment.
If any parcel submitted for collection is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number for the fiscal year, a corrected parcel number and/or new parcel numbers will be identified and resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel or parcels shall be based on the method of apportionment and assessment rate described in this Report as approved by the City Council.
Therefore, if a single parcel is subdivided to multiple parcels, the assessment amount applied to each of the new parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment.
The following is a list of the parcels and proposed assessment amounts for each of the parcels within the District and its Zones as determined by the assessment rates and method of apportionment described herein:

TITLE: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GREENFIELD
REPEALING CHAPTER 17.90 OF THE GREENFIELD
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO “ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS” AND ADOPTING A NEW ORDINANCE IN ITS PLACE
CONSIDERING STATE REQUIRED MODIFICATIONS AND
SUBMITTING THE ORDINANCE TO THE STATE HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR
REVIEW
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Greenfield regularly updates its zoning regulations as needed to respond to requirements in State law and to maintain compliance with those requirements and consistency with applicable State statutes.
The City of Greenfield last updated its Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) ordinance on July 10, 2018, in response to updates to State law at that time, specifically Senate Bill (“SB”) 1069, Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2299, SB 229, and AB 494. In the last six years, the State of California enacted several additional laws simplifying the process for residents to build ADUs; reduced government controls; has, in many cases, eliminated impact fees for the construction of these units; and required that city local ordinances meet specific State-requirements to be considered valid. As such, the City of Greenfield is submitting a revised ADU ordinance for review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and consideration by the City Council.

2 PROJECT HISTORY
The State of California has taken significant steps to encourage the development of ADUs throughout the State and has acted on a near-annual basis to streamline further the development of ADUs. Key legislation that has significantly changed ADU law within the last five years includes the following:
• AB 68, AB 881, and SB 13 (2019) – Eliminates minimum lot size, requires ADUs to be at least 850 square feet, eliminates impact fees for ADUs under 750 square feet, and includes other additional changes.
• AB 670 (2019) – Exempts ADUs from restrictions in private Homeowners Associations and Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. • AB 881 (2020) – Prohibits local governments from imposing owner-occupancy requirements on ADUs until 2025.
• AB 3182 (2021) – Provides that applications shall be deemed approved if the local agency has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days. • AB 345 (2022) – Requires cities to allow the separate conveyance of ADUs from the primary dwelling in certain circumstances.
• AB 2221 (2022) – Closed various legal loopholes about setbacks and multi-family ADUs.
• AB 434 (2023) – Gives the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) enforcement powers over municipal ADUs. • AB 976 (2023) – Made the elimination of owner-occupancy mandates permanent. • AB 1332 (2023) – Requires jurisdictions to develop a program for preapproval of ADU plans by 2025.
• SB 1211 (2024) – Includes amendments to eliminate replacement parking for new ADUs.
• AB 2533 (2024) – Prohibits a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, for certain violations without specific findings.
For additional information on changes to ADU laws, please refer to the California Department of Housing and Community Development Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook, dated January 2025 and included with this report as Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Since the proposed changes to the Zoning Code will not result in any actual construction, the Common Sense Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15061, subdivision (b)(3) applies in this case. Any future ADU projects that were to be constructed would not be subject to CEQA as ADUs approved ministerially are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15268 (Ministerial Projects) of the CEQA guidelines and Section 21080, subdivision (b)(1) of the Public Resources Code. In addition, ADUs can be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15303 of the CEQA guidelines, authority cited under Public Resources Code sections 21083 and 21087. 126
3 PREVIOUS ACTION
Thereafter, given substantial revisions needed to conform to State law, City staff drafted a revised ordinance that would replace Chapter 17.90, in its entirety. As part of its duties as a recommending agency on Zoning Amendments, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the item on April 1, 2025. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance to the City Council.
PROJECT REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
It is proposed that Chapter 17.90 of the Zoning Code be repealed and a new ordinance be adopted in its place.
Generally, there are four types of ADUs that must be permitted within residential and mixed-use zones, pursuant to State law: (1) One junior accessory dwelling unit (“JADU”) within an existing or proposed single-family home and an ADU within an existing or proposed singlefamily home or an existing accessory structure if the proposed unit has an independent exterior access from the existing residence and the side and rear setbacks are sufficient for fire and safety; (2) one detached, new construction ADU that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks for a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling and which conforms to specified height and size requirements; (3) ADUs within portions of existing multi-family dwellings that are not used as livable space; and (4) up to two detached ADUs on a lot that has a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, not to exceed the number of existing units on the lot, subject to specified height and setback requirements. Beyond these four ADU types, there are additional standards that may be imposed by local ordinance. Please see the proposed ordinance included with this report as Attachment 1 for the full scope of the proposed ordinance.
While local agencies are not required to adopt an ordinance that imposes local standards on ADUs, a local agency may adopt an ADU ordinance to impose zoning, development, design, and other standards, in compliance with State ADU law. If there is no valid ordinance in place, any proposed ADU development will be subject only to standards set in State ADU law.
The proposed ordinance suggests revisions which are mandated by the State statute. Upon adoption of the ordinance, it must be submitted to State HCD for review and certification. As the City of Greenfield currently does not have an HCD-compliant ADU ordinance, State laws supersede the local municipal code at present, and applicants are not required to meet city codes on ADUs if they meet State requirements. While there is little to no room for adaptation to local circumstances and preferences, the primary purpose of updating the ordinance is to meet State requirements, provide additional clarity to residents looking to build ADUs on their property, and reduce confusion with City standards that are currently unenforceable. 127
4 BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed project will not result in any immediate financial impacts to the City of Greenfield.
Future projects that meet these updated regulations would likely have a negative impact on City resources, in that in most cases the City is limited in the types of fees it can charge and has minimal increases to property taxes required to serve additional population. However, these mandates are dictated by the State of California and are unfunded.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
Section 17.10.030 of the City of Greenfield Zoning Code sets forth the land use responsibilities of the City Council. Those responsibilities include hearing and deciding applications for zoning ordinance amendments, general plan and amendments thereto, specific plans, special planning areas, pre-zoning, annexations, major subdivisions, boundary adjustments, and planned developments. As this action is considered a zoning ordinance amendment, the Planning Commission is responsible for holding hearings on those same matters and making appropriate recommendations to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
The City recognizes the use of ADUs as innovative and effective options for adding much needed housing in California. In support of these goals, Housing Element policies, and State mandates, City staff recommend approval of the proposed ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GREENFIELD REPEALING CHAPTER 17.90 OF THE GREENFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS”
AND ADOPTING A NEW ORDINANCE IN ITS PLACE CONSIDERING STATE REQUIRED
MODIFICATIONS, AND SUBMITTING THE ORDINANCE TO THE STATE HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW
WHEREAS, the State of California has required that cities adopt updated accessory dwelling unit ordinances to be consistent with updated State housing laws to encourage and promote the development of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, Section 17.16.130 of the City of Greenfield Municipal Code provides that the City Council is the designated approving authority for zoning code amendments, that the Planning Director and Planning Commission provide recommendations to the City Council on the proposed zoning code amendment, and that the City Council approves, conditionally approves, or denies the zoning code amendment in accordance with the requirements of Title 17 of the municipal code; and
WHEREAS, the proposed repeal and adoption of the new ordinance to the City of Greenfield Zoning Code, as described herein, is required for consistency with the State Government Code and the State Health and Safety Code; and WHEREAS, on April 1, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and approved a measure recommending the City Council adopt an Ordinance repealing Chapter
17.90 of the Greenfield Municipal Code related to Accessory Dwelling Units and adopting a new Ordinance in its place.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Greenfield has considered all written and verbal evidence regarding the proposed zoning code amendment and has made the following findings regarding the proposed amendment:
1. FINDING: That the proposed Zoning Ordinance repeal and adoption of the new Ordinance (text or map) is consistent with the general plan goals, policies, and implementation programs. a. On April 12, 2016, the Greenfield City Council adopted Resolution 2016-20 amending the City of Greenfield General Plan to incorporate the Fifth Cycle Housing Element Update. The adopted Housing Element update established housing goals, objectives, policies, and implementing programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing within the City. The Housing Element is currently being updated and is in the process of being certified, and the previous and current Update contain implementing programs that identified amendments to the City’s zoning code that are required to support the established goals, for conformity with the State Government Code and other state laws, to promote housing development for all economic segments of the community — and, in particular, affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate129 2 income individuals and families and individuals with special needs — and to permit mandated housing uses and types within appropriate zoning districts. b. The proposed repeal and adoption of the new Ordinance to the City of Greenfield zoning code are required for consistency with the State Government Code.
2. FINDING: That the proposed repeal and adoption of the new Ordinance will have no adverse effects on the public’s health, safety, or welfare.
a. Several Housing Element programs and policies and implementing the adoption of new ordinances to the City’s zoning code, such as for Accessory Dwelling Units, may result in future residential development projects. Accessory Dwelling Units are considered ministerial projects and are therefore exempt from additional environmental review.
Further CEQA review of the proposed repeal and adoption of the new ordinance to the City’s zoning code are not required currently.
BE IT HEREBY FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Greenfield adopts an Ordinance repealing Chapter 17.90 of the Greenfield Municipal Code related to “Accessory Dwelling Units” and adopting a new Ordinance in its place considering State required modifications, which draft Ordinance is included as “Exhibit A” to this resolution, and submit the Ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for review and approval.

4 ADUs in California
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are innovative and effective options for adding much needed housing in California. Since 2016, State ADU Laws have continued to evolve to further lower barriers to the development of more affordable housing as the Legislature works to address the housing crisis across the state. As these laws change, HCD’s goal is to ensure consistency and clarity in the application of these laws through education, technical assistance, and enforcement.1 Benefits of ADUs
ADUs provide a wide range of benefits, including:
• ADUs are an affordable type of home to construct in California because they do not require paying for land, major new infrastructure, structured parking, or elevators. • ADUs can provide a source of income for homeowners.
• ADUs are often built with cost-effective wood frame construction, which is significantly less costly than homes in new multifamily infill buildings. • ADUs allow extended families to be near one another while maintaining privacy. • ADUs can provide as much living space as many newly built apartments and condominiums, and they’re suited well for individuals, couples, small families, friends, young people, and older adults.
• ADUs give homeowners the flexibility to share independent living areas with family members and others, allowing older adults to age in place.
Indeed, Californians are increasingly recognizing the benefits of ADUs, and ADUs are making a difference. Between 2016-2023, the number of ADUs permitted annually in the state grew from 1,336 to 26,924, a 20-fold increase. In 2023, ADUs comprised more than 21 percent of all homes permitted statewide.
ADUs as an Infill Development Strategy
ADUs are, by definition, created in areas that are already developed but where land may be underutilized. Moreover, restrictions on parking requirements for ADUs that are located near transit create further incentives to build ADUs, particularly in places that provide easy access to jobs and other amenities, further reducing reliance on vehicles.
As a result, ADU construction is a key infill development strategy that contributes to, among other things, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality by reducing the distance people need to travel; reducing conversion of agricultural land, sensitive habitat, and open space for new development; reducing costs to build and maintain expensive infrastructure; and facilitating healthy and environmentally friendly active transportation.
1 This updated ADU Handbook references the law as amended by recent legislation that goes into effect on January 1, 2025.

5 In light of changing laws around ADUs and the growing importance of this housing type, HCD has updated this ADU Handbook and continues to be committed to facilitating housing production at all income levels.

6 The California Department of Housing and
Community Development
With the vision that one day, every California resident can live, work, and play in healthy communities of opportunity, it is the mission of HCD to provide safe, affordable homes and vibrant, inclusive, sustainable communities for all Californians. HCD accomplishes this by increasing and preserving the supply of affordable places to live in California and by creating effective solutions to the housing crisis through policy and research.
Housing Accountability Unit
California’s housing crisis has reached historic proportions despite the passage of numerous laws intended to increase the supply of housing affordable to Californians at all income levels.
As part of the 2021-2022 state budget, HCD received additional staff to grow its accountability efforts and formed the Housing Accountability Unit (HAU). While education and technical assistance are always the first step in HCD’s accountability efforts, the HAU holds jurisdictions accountable for meeting their housing element commitments and complying with state housing laws. Violations of state housing laws, including State ADU Law, may lead to consequences, including revocation of housing element certification and referral to the California Office of the Attorney General.
Technical Assistance
There may be uncertainty, or a need for education at the local level about how to comply with state law, especially as state laws evolve. HCD provides technical assistance to property owners and developers who are seeking to create ADUs, as well as to advocates, local agencies, and other interested parties.
Any questions regarding the application of State ADU Law may be submitted to HCD via the online ADU Portal. Please provide as much detail as possible in the online form. HCD may request additional information, including, but not limited to denials and communications from the local agency.
Local agencies seeking assistance or submitting an ADU ordinance to HCD, must also use the online portal.
For those experiencing technical issues with the ADU Portal, please email:
Questions beyond what this Handbook provides are encouraged to contact their local permitting agency (e.g., city or county) or private attorney.
Enforcement of State ADU Law
Since 2016, HCD has had statutory authority to review local agencies’ ADU ordinances, and as of January 1, 2024, HCD also has the authority to enforce all State ADU Laws.
HCD’s ADU team reviews local ordinances for compliance with State ADU Law and sends 137
7 findings letters and, when necessary, may escalate its enforcement. To ensure consistency, the HAU works closely with other HCD divisions.
The ADU team is committed to supporting the public, local agencies, and partner agencies with understanding and complying with State ADU Law.

13 Summary of Recent Changes to ADU Law
In Government Code section 66310,
subdivision (d), the California Legislature
declared that allowing ADUs in zones
that allow single-family and multifamily
uses provides additional rental housing
and is an essential component in
addressing California’s housing needs.
Over the years, State ADU Law has been
revised to improve its effectiveness in
creating more housing units. Major
changes to State ADU Law, effective
January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, and
January 1, 2025, further reduced barriers
to the development of ADUs and JADUs.
Within this context, HCD developed –
and continues to update – this Handbook to assist local governments, homeowners, attorneys, architects, and the public in understanding and applying the requirements of state law. Below is a summary of recent legislation that amended State ADU Law.
Please visit https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov for the complete statutory changes.
All local permitting agencies and interested parties should review the amendments to California law, effective January 1, 2023, 2024, and 2025, regarding the creation of ADUs and JADUs.
2022 legislation includes the following changes to State ADU Law (effective January 1, 2023):
Assembly Bill (AB) 2221 (Chapter 650, Statutes of 2022, Section 1) and Senate Bill (SB) 897 (Chapter 664, Statutes of 2022, Sections 2.5, 4, 5, and 6) built upon recent changes to State ADU and JADU Law and further addressed barriers to the development of ADUs and JADUs.
Due to SB 897 being chaptered after AB 2221, section 2.5 of SB 897 incorporated amendments to ADU Law proposed by both SB 897 and AB 2221. • Objective Standards. Requires local agencies to only impose objective standards on ADUs, which “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” of an ADU permit application. (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (i). See also Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (b)(1); 66323, subd. (g).) • Detached Garages. Allows ADUs detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including in detached garages (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(3)). • Occupancy Change. Provides that the construction of an ADU does not constitute a 144
14 Group R occupancy change under the local building code, unless the local agency makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(8)).
• Fire Sprinklers. Precludes ADU construction from triggering a requirement that fire sprinklers be installed in the existing primary dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(12)). • Permitting Process. Requires a permitting agency to either approve or deny (replacing the former language “act on”) an application to create or serve an ADU or JADU within 60 days from when a completed application is received, if there is an existing single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, subd. (a); 66320, subd. (a); 66335, subd. (a)(2)).
• Concurrent Permitting. Clarifies that permitting agencies may concurrently approve or deny a proposed ADU and new single-family or multifamily dwelling when submitted simultaneously for permitting. The application for the ADU shall be considered without discretionary review or hearing. Clarifies that permitting agencies may concurrently approve or deny a proposed JADU and new single-family dwelling when submitted simultaneously for permitting. (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, subd. (a); 66320, subd. (a); 66335, subd. (a)(3).) • Permitting Agency Denials. Obligates a permitting agency, when it denies an ADU or JADU application, to “return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant” within 60 days from when a completed application is received. (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, subd. (b); 66320, subd. (b); 66335, subd. (b).) • Demolition Permits. Adds a requirement for a local agency to review and issue a demolition permit for “a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU” at the same time it reviews, and issues permits for, the ADU construction. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (e).) Also prohibits permitting agencies requiring applicants to “provide written notice or post a placard for the demolition of a detached garage ... unless the property is located within an architecturally and historically significant district.” (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (f).) • Zoning & Setbacks. Prohibits a local agency from requiring “a zoning clearance or separate zoning review or any other minimum or maximum size for an accessory dwelling unit, size based upon a percentage of the proposed or existing primary dwelling, or limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, front setbacks, and minimum lot size, for either attached or detached dwellings that does not permit at least an 800 square foot accessory dwelling unit with four-foot side and rear yard setbacks to be constructed in compliance with all other local development standards.” (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(3).) • Detached ADU Height Limitations. Establishes a base height limitation of 16 feet for detached ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(A)). Increases the maximum height limitation on a detached ADU to 18 feet if the ADU is “either within a half-mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor” and provides for an 145
15 additional two feet for roof pitch to align with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.” (Gov. Code, §§ 66321, subd. (b)(4)(B); 66323, subd. (a)(2)(B).) Increases the height to 18 feet for a detached ADU that is “on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily, multistory dwelling.” (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(B).)
• Attached ADU Height Limitations. Establishes the maximum height limitation that may be imposed by a local agency on an attached ADU to 25 feet, or the existing primary dwelling height limit if lower than 25 feet. Does not require a local agency to allow an ADU to exceed two stories (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(D)).
• Parking Standards. Prohibits local agencies from imposing parking in a number of specific circumstances (Gov. Code, § 66322, subd. (a)).
• Zoning Nonconformance & Building Code Violations. Prohibits local agencies from denying an ADU permit due to the correction of “nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the accessory dwelling unit.” (Gov. Code, § 66322, subd. (b).) The prohibition was also added to Government Code section 66336 to apply to JADUs.
• Multifamily Dwellings. Prohibits a permitting agency from requiring “any modification of the existing multifamily dwelling as a condition of approving the application to construct an accessory dwelling unit” if the existing multifamily dwelling has “a rear or side setback of less than four feet...” (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(B)). • Permitting Agency Definition. Adds definition of a permitting agency as “any entity that is involved in the review of a permit for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit and for which there is no substitute, including, but not limited to, applicable planning departments, building departments, utilities, and special districts.” (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (k).)
• Unpermitted ADUs. Precludes a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, because the ADU violates building standards or because the ADU does not comply with State ADU Law or a local ordinance. (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (a).) This prohibition does not apply if the local agency makes a finding that “correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure” (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (b)) or to a building that is deemed substandard pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (c)).
• Enclosed Uses. Considers enclosed uses within the residence, such as attached garages, to be “a part of the proposed or existing single-family residence” for the purposes of JADUs (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d)).
146
16 • JADU Separate Entrance. Requires a JADU without a separate bathroom to “include a separate entrance from the main entrance to the proposed JADU, with an interior entry to the main living area.” (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (e)(2).) 2023 legislation includes the following changes to State ADU Law (effective January 1, 2024):
AB 976 (Chapter 751, Statutes of 2023) and AB 1033 (Chapter 752, Statutes of 2023) made changes to State ADU Law. AB 1332 (Chapter 759, Statutes of 2023) added Government Code section 65852.27 to expedite the approval of ADUs. AB 434 (Chapter 740, Statutes of 2023) modified Government Code section 65585 to require enforcement of State ADU Law, ADU amnesty laws, and lot split / duplex laws, among others. • Owner Occupancy. Removes the existing 2025 sunset of the prohibition on owneroccupancy requirements and instead mandates no owner-occupancy requirement for ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66315). Authorizes a local agency to adopt a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU(s) as condominiums (Gov.
Code, § 66342).
• Pre-Approved ADU Plans. Requires the local agency to develop a program for the preapproval of ADU plans by January 1, 2025. The local agency shall accept ADU plan submissions for preapproval from any party and shall approve or deny applications pursuant to standards established in Government Code sections 66314-66332. The local agency shall post preapproved ADU plans and the contact information of the applicant on the local agency’s website. The local agency may also post plans pre-approved by other local or state agencies. (Gov. Code, § 65852.27.)
• Enforcement Authority. Amends Government Code section 65585, subdivision (j), by adding to the list of laws about which HCD is authorized to notify a local jurisdiction or the Attorney General when the local jurisdiction fails to comply with those laws, including Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 66310) and Government Code sections 65852.21, 65852.24, 65852.28, 65913.4.5, and 66411.7, among others. 2024 legislation includes the following changes to State ADU Law (effective March 27, 2024, and January 1, 2025):
SB 477 (Chapter 7, Statutes of 2024) made changes to the numbering of the government code sections related to ADU and JADU Law. AB 2533 (Chapter 834, Statutes of 2024) and SB 1211 (Chapter 296, Statutes of 2024) made changes to State ADU Law. • Updated Government Code Sections. Government Code sections related to ADU and JADU law were updated from 65852.2, 65852.22, 65852.23, and 65852.26 to Government Code sections 66310-66342.
• Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs. Changes the date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020, such that a local agency is precluded from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, because the ADU violates building standards 147
17 or because the ADU does not comply with State ADU Law or a local ordinance. (Gov.
Code, § 66332, subd. (a).) A local agency shall inform the public about the provisions of this section through public information resources, including permit checklists and the local agency’s internet website, which shall include both of the following: (1) a checklist of the conditions specified in Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code that would deem a building substandard, and (2) information that, before applying for a permit, the homeowner may obtain a confidential third-party code inspection from a licensed contractor to determine the unit’s existing condition or potential scope of building improvements before applying for a permit. (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (d)(1), (d)(2).) • Objective Standards. Prohibits a local agency from imposing any objective development standards on 66323 Units that are not authorized by the provisions of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a).

18 Frequently Asked Questions
66323 Units
What are “66323 Units”?
HCD uses the term “66323 Units” to refer to ADUs and JADUs that are created pursuant to Government Code section 66323. They have also been referred to as “State mandated” or “State exempt” ADUs. Government Code section 66323 creates four categories of ADUs (and JADUs) that must be approved ministerially and are not subject to standards set forth in Government Code sections 66314-66322. For example, 66323 Units do not have to comply with lot coverage, front setbacks, and design standards. However, these ADUs must comply with building code and health and safety requirements for dwellings. The four categories are:
1. Single-Family Converted ADUs and JADUs
One ADU per lot is permitted within the converted space of a proposed or existing single-family dwelling or accessory structure. This type of ADU must have exterior access and setbacks for fire and safety but is not subject to a four-foot side and rear yard setback. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1).)
ADUs converted from accessory structures are eligible for a 150 square-foot expansion to accommodate ingress and egress. For example, if a second story from a singlefamily dwelling is converted into an ADU, a stairwell of not more than 150 square feet could be added, among other types of ingress and egress configurations that comply with the local building code. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1)(A).) In addition, one JADU per lot is permitted within the proposed or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure and must have exterior access, side and rear setbacks for fire and safety. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1).) JADUs must also comply with the provisions of JADU Law found in Government Code sections 66333- 66339. For the purposes of constructing a JADU, attached garages are part of a singlefamily dwelling. (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d).) For more information, please see the Handbook section on JADUs.
2. Single-Family Detached ADUs
One detached new construction ADU that does not exceed four-foot side and rear yard setbacks is permitted on lots with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling (Gov.
Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(2)). The maximum unit size is 800 square feet with a height limitation of 16, 18, or 20 feet depending on conditions specified in Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(4). (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(2)(B).)
3. Multifamily Converted ADUs
ADUs may be created within the portions of existing multifamily structures that are not used as livable space (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(3)(A)). Local agencies shall allow 149
19 at least one ADU within an existing multifamily dwelling and up to 25 percent of the existing multifamily dwelling units (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(3)(B)). Examples of structures that are not used as livable space include, but are not limited to: storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(3)(A)).
4. Multifamily Detached ADUs
Up to two detached ADUs are allowed on a lot that has a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight detached ADUs are allowed on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, not to exceed the number of existing units on the lot. These ADUs are subject to fourfoot rear and side yard setbacks and height limits of 16, 18, or 20 feet depending on conditions specified in Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(4). (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(A).) A local agency may not require that a setback be modified for an existing multifamily dwelling with setbacks less than four feet as a condition of ADU application approval (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(B)).
The local agency must allow the four categories of ADUs listed above to be combined as allowed by the site and lot conditions. For example, pursuant to Government Code 66323, subdivision (a), local governments must allow units created pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) together or (3) and (4) together. This means that on single-family lots, local agencies must allow at least one ADU constructed from existing space, one JADU, and one newly constructed detached ADU. For multifamily lots, local agencies must permit at least one ADU constructed from existing non-livable space (or up to 25 percent of the number of multifamily units), and two detached ADUs.

What design, zoning, or other local standards can be imposed on 66323 Units? A local agency may not impose development or design standards, including both local standards and standards found in State ADU Law, on 66323 Units that are not specifically listed in Government Code section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), (b).) This includes, but is not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, or other zoning provisions (e.g., lot size, open space, floor area ratio, etc.).
Additionally, rentals of 66323 ADUs must be for terms longer than 30 days. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (e).) Fire sprinklers are not required for the ADU if not required for the primary residence, and the construction of an ADU may not trigger the requirement for fire sprinklers in an existing multifamily dwelling. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (d).) Can a 66323 ADU created by converting an existing accessory structure be expanded? Yes. An ADU created within the existing space of an accessory structure can be expanded beyond the physical dimensions of the structure up to 150 square feet solely for the purpose of accommodating ingress and egress. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1)(A).) An example is the construction of a staircase to reach a second story ADU. The ADUs shall conform to setbacks sufficient for fire and safety. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1)(C).) NOTE: A JADU may be created within the walls of a single-family residence and not within an accessory structure. JADUs may not be expanded beyond the existing dimensions of the single-family dwelling.
For more information regarding 66323 multifamily accessory units, please see Multifamily ADUs.

21 ADUs
What is an ADU?
An ADU is accessory to a primary residence and has complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. ADUs are either “detached from,” “attached to,” or located within the proposed or existing primary dwelling. This includes attached garages, storage areas or similar spaces, and accessory structures. The ADU can also be detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including detached garages, provided it is located on the same lot. (Gov. Code. §§ 66313, subd. (a); 66314, subd. (d)(3).)2 Bedrooms
Can a limit on the number of bedrooms in an ADU be imposed? A limit on the number of bedrooms could be construed as a discriminatory practice towards protected classes, such as familial status, and would be considered a constraint on the development of ADUs (Gov. Code, § 65008). Building code standards for minimum bedroom size still apply.
Can an ADU have no bedrooms?
A limit on the number of bedrooms could be construed as a discriminatory practice towards protected classes, such as familial status, (Gov. Code, § 65008) and could also unreasonably restrict the ability of homeowners to create ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66311). Building code standards for minimum bedroom size still apply.
Building Code Violations
Can an ADU application be denied due to building code violations? An ADU application pursuant to Government Code section 66314 may be denied due to building code violations on the primary unit only if the violations present a threat to public health and safety and are affected by the construction of the ADU (Gov. Code, § 66322, subd. (b)). However, all ADUs must comply with building code and health and safety requirements for dwellings.
Coastal Commission
Do state ADU laws apply to jurisdictions located in the California Coastal Zone? Yes. ADU laws apply to jurisdictions in the California Coastal Zone, but do not alter or lessen the effect or application of Coastal Act resource protection policies (Gov. Code, § 66329).
Coastal localities should seek to harmonize the goals of protecting coastal resources and addressing housing needs of Californians. For example, where appropriate, localities should amend Local Coastal Programs for California Coastal Commission review to comply with the California Coastal Act and new State ADU Laws. For more information, see the California 2 Note that certain federal financing programs mentioned in the section on “Funding,” below, may have different definitions of an ADU.
152
22 Coastal Commission 2020 Memo and reach out to the local Coastal Commission district office.
Deed Restrictions
Can an affordable housing deed restriction be imposed on an ADU? No. A local agency cannot impose a deed restriction on an ADU. Government Code section 66315 states, “Section 66314 establishes the maximum standards that a local agency shall use to evaluate a proposed accessory dwelling unit on a lot that includes a proposed or existing single-family dwelling. No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner-occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer.” Section 66314, subdivision (b)(1) allows for local objective standards, but the examples provided all relate to design and development standards (e.g., parking, height, setback, landscape, maximum size of a unit). A deed restriction is not such a standard and thus cannot be imposed.
Can a deed restriction be imposed on a JADU?
Yes. A local agency may adopt an ordinance for the creation of JADUs (Gov. Code, § 66333).
That ordinance must “[r]equire the recordation of a deed restriction” that includes only a prohibition on the sale of the JADU separate from the sale of the single-family residence and a restriction on the size and attributes of the JADU that conforms with state law (Gov. Code, § 66333, subds. (c)(1), (c)(2)).
Fees
What types of fees are considered impact fees?
Impact fees charged for the construction of ADUs must be determined in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act and include any monetary exaction other than a tax or special assessment that is charged by a local agency in connection with the approval of an ADU for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities relating to the ADU. (Gov. Code, §§ 66324, subd. (a); 66000.) A local agency, special district, or water corporation shall not consider ADUs as a new residential use for the purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, including water and sewer services. However, these provisions do not apply to ADUs that are constructed concurrently with a new single-family home. (Gov.
Code, § 66324, subds. (b), (d).)
Can impact fees be charged for an ADU less than 750 square feet? No. An ADU is exempt from incurring impact fees from local agencies, special districts, and water corporations if it is less than 750 square feet. If an ADU is 750 square feet or larger, impact fees shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the ADU to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (Gov. Code, § 66324 subd. (c)(1).) In this specific instance, impact fees also include Quimby fees specified in Government Code section 66477 (Gov. Code, § 66324 subd. (c)(2)).
For ADUs that include a 150 square-foot exterior expansion, the 150 square feet count towards the 750 square-foot limit. For example, a 700 square-foot interior conversion ADU with 153
23 a 150 square-foot exterior expansion for ingress and egress would count as an 850 squarefoot ADU for the purposes of calculating fees, thus triggering the proportionate fee requirement of Government Code section 66324, subdivision (c).
What is “Proportionality”?
“Proportionality” is some amount in relation to a total amount, in this case, an impact fee for a single-family dwelling. For example, a 2,000 square-foot primary dwelling with a proposed 1,000 square-foot ADU could result in 50 percent of the impact fee that would be charged for a new primary dwelling on the same site. (Gov. Code, § 66324, subd. (c)(1).)
Can school districts charge impact fees?
Yes. School districts are authorized to, but do not have to, levy impact fees for ADUs larger than 500 square feet pursuant to Section 17620 of the Education Code and the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code, § 66000). ADUs less than 500 square feet are not subject to school impact fees. Local agencies are encouraged to coordinate with school districts to carefully weigh the importance of promoting ADUs and to ensure appropriate nexus studies are conducted on fees to facilitate construction or reconstruction of adequate school facilities, as required by the Mitigation Fee Act. Local agencies should not withhold the issuance of a permit to create an ADU or JADU due to the imposition of school fees.
Can I still be charged water and sewer connection fees? ADUs constructed from existing space and JADUs shall not be considered by a local agency, special district, or water corporation to be a new residential use for purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, unless constructed concurrently with a new single-family dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66324, subd. (b)). The connection fee or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed ADU, based on its square footage or plumbing fixtures as compared to the primary dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66324, subd. (e)).
Fire Protection and Fire Sprinkler Requirements
Can fire sprinklers be required for ADUs?
Only when sprinklers are required for the existing primary residence. Installation of fire sprinklers shall not be required in attached, detached, or converted ADUs if sprinklers are not required by building codes for the existing primary residence. For example, a detached singlefamily home designed and constructed decades ago would not have been required to have fire sprinklers installed under the applicable building code at the time. However, if the same primary dwelling recently underwent significant alteration and is now required to have fire sprinklers, any ADU created after that alteration must be provided with fire sprinklers.
Additionally, the construction of an ADU under this code section shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers for the primary residence. Finally, if a primary dwelling currently does not have fire sprinklers, and an attached ADU is proposed which would trigger fire sprinkler requirements due to the increase in livable space, that requirement shall not be imposed upon the primary dwelling unit. (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(12); 66323, subd. (d).) 154
24 Funding
Is there financial assistance or funding available for ADUs? Possibly. While at the time of this writing the funds have been exhausted, the California Housing Finance Agency’s (CalHFA) ADU Grant Program provided up to $40,000 in assistance to reimburse qualifying homeowners for predevelopment costs necessary to build an ADU or JADU on a lot with an owner-occupied single-family dwelling unit. The ADU Grant Program was intended to create more housing units in California by providing a grant to reimburse qualifying homeowners for predevelopment costs. Predevelopment costs include, but are not limited to, architectural designs, permits, soil tests, impact fees, property surveys, and energy reports.
Some local agencies are creating funding opportunities for ADU/JADU predevelopment and construction costs, or they are waiving fees.
For local agencies wanting to apply for funding for ADUs and JADUs, some of HCD’s funding programs, such as the CalHome Program, the Permanent Local Housing Allocation program, the Prohousing Incentive Program, and the Local Housing Trust Fund Program, do include funding for these housing types as eligible activities.
For more information on local and state funding opportunities for ADU/JADU predevelopment or construction, or funding options for local agencies, please see the Grants and Funding section of our ADU webpage: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-and-research/accessory-dwellingunits.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae also provide loans to support ADUs. The links below include information on these finance programs, including relevant definitions and criteria.
FHA
The FHA recently expanded access to mortgage financing for homes that have or will include ADUs. Specifically, the updated loan policies allow for the inclusion of rental income from the ADU in the borrower’s qualifying income and would allow more borrowers to qualify for FHA financing for properties with ADUs. This includes the 203(k) Rehabilitation loan. Note that the 203(k) Rehabilitation loan may only be used to construct an attached ADU.
For more information on the updated policies, please reference the FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook at https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/40001-hsghupdate15-052024.pdf, or the 2023 Mortgagee Letter that includes specific ADU finance changes in the handbook https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2023- 17hsgml.pdf. Interested parties should look to HUD’s website for any updates.
Freddie Mac
Freddie Mac now offers several options for adding an ADU to an existing home and financing a purchase with the intention to rent or build an ADU. This includes allowing rental income from ADUs to be included in qualified income for a loan.
155
25 For more information, please visit https://sf.freddiemac.com/docs/pdf/fact-sheet/adu-factsheet.pdf.
Fannie Mae
Fannie Mae now offers financing options for adding an ADU to an existing property, building a home with an ADU using Construction-to-Permanent Financing, and buying a home with an existing ADU.
For more information, please visit https://singlefamily.fanniemae.com/originatingunderwriting/mortgage-products/accessory-dwelling-units.
Height Requirements
Is there a limit on the height of an ADU?
There is no height limit contained in State ADU Law, but local agencies may impose height limits pursuant to Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(4). A local agency may impose a height limit by adopting a compliant ADU ordinance.
A local agency may not impose a height limit that is less than the following:
Detached ADUs
16 feet on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family or multifamily dwelling unit (Gov.
Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(A)).
18 feet on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling, including an additional 2 feet to accommodate roof pitch that aligns with the primary dwelling, when the lot is a half-mile from a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(B)). Please see the ADU Glossary for definitions of these terms. 18 feet height on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily, multistory dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(C)).
If a detached two-story ADU can be built according to the height allowances required under State ADU Law while remaining compliant with the building code, a local agency cannot deny an ADU application to create a two-story ADU, irrespective of the underlying zoning that might restrict a primary dwelling to one story. (Gov. Code, §§ 66321, subd. (b)(4)(D); 66314, subd. (d)(8).)
Attached ADUs
25 feet or the height limitation that applies to the primary dwelling in the local zoning ordinance, whichever is lower (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(D)). 156
26 Is there a limit on the number of stories of an ADU? There is no limit on the number of stories contained in State ADU Law. A local agency must allow at least two stories, and an attached ADU may be built to the height of the zoning for the primary dwelling or up to 25 feet, whichever is lower. (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(4)(D).) Are there tools available to determine if a project qualifies for 18 feet in height? The California State Geoportal features an interactive map and searchable database to assess whether any California address is within a High-Quality Transit Corridor (HQTC) (as described in Public Resources Code sections 21155, 21064.3, and 21060.2). This can assist with determining if your projects are eligible for an extra two feet in height. However, the State ADU Law does not designate a definitive resource for making HQTC proximity determinations.
Applicants should go to their Metropolitan Planning Organizations first to find out if they are in a HQTC. If there is not one in their area, then they should go to their local agency.
Homeowners Associations (HOAs)
Can CC&Rs prohibit the construction or use of an ADU or JADU? No. Sections 714.3 and 4751 of the Civil Code nullify covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that either effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the construction or use of an ADU or JADU on lots zoned to permit single-family residential uses. Such CC&Rs, including operating rules, are void and unenforceable. Applicants who encounter prohibitions of ADUs and JADUs within CC&Rs, whether implicit or explicit, are encouraged to reach out to their local agency.
What restrictions can be placed on an ADU or JADU?
HOAs may impose some limited objective standards on an ADU or JADU, such as requiring, within reason, specific materials, architectural styles, or other design and aesthetic restrictions.
However, these standards may not be more stringent than State ADU Law and thereby unreasonably increase the cost to construct or effectively prohibit or extinguish the ability to create or serve an ADU or JADU. (Civ. Code, § 714.3, subd. (b).) Examples of effective prohibitions, unreasonable costs, and extinguishments of the ability to construct an ADU or JADU may include, but would not be limited to:
• Any delay in reviewing an ADU or JADU for compliance with reasonable restrictions beyond the timeframes required of local agencies (60 days) or that significantly delay the construction or use of an ADU or JADU.
• Requiring alteration to an ADU or JADU application that would cause the property owner to incur substantial costs or forgo the development. • Imposing a condition that would necessitate re-applying or amending a building permit application that substantially complies with State ADU and JADU Laws. • Mandating neighboring property owners’ approval or agreement for an ADU or JADU application or considering any disapproval or disagreement to the construction or use of an ADU or JADU by the neighbors as part of the local agency’s ministerial process to approve or deny the application.
• Restricting the placement or location of an ADU or JADU such that it would be rendered infeasible or unusable by the property owner.
157
27 • Requiring major structural elements or design changes beyond the requirements set forth in State ADU and JADU Law that would extinguish the ability to construct or use the ADU or JADU.
• Imposing restrictions that are not objective or not knowable or available to the property owners in advance of submitting the application.
• Levying excessive application fees, conditions, or other financial requirements that would cause the property owner to incur substantial costs or forgo the development, such as requiring owner-occupancy of an ADU or charging excessive maintenance fees that would be unreasonable considering the size of the ADU proportionally to the primary dwelling.
Property owners whose construction or use of an ADU or JADU is impeded by an HOA (or their representatives or agents) are encouraged to reach out to their local agency and to seek legal counsel.
Can an HOA review or influence a local agency’s ministerial approval to create or serve an ADU or JADU?
No. An HOA may not influence a local agency’s ministerial approval of an ADU or JADU. Local agencies must provide an approval process that only includes ministerial provisions for the approval of ADU permit applications. This approval process shall not include discretionary processes, provisions, or requirements except as provided in Government Code section 66315. Thus, third party reviews by an HOA or their representatives or agents would violate State ADU Law. (Gov. Code, § 66315.) No other local ordinances, policies, or regulations may be applied in the approval or denial of an ADU or JADU permit application (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (c)). If a local agency allows an HOA to be involved in any part of an ADU or JADU application process, the local agency is in violation of State ADU Law.
Housing Elements and Prohousing Designation
Do ADUs and JADUs count toward a local agency’s RHNA?
Yes. Pursuant to Government Code sections 66330, and 65583.1, ADUs and JADUs may be utilized towards the RHNA and the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) required by Government Code section 65400. To credit a unit toward the RHNA, HCD and the Department of Finance (DOF) utilize the U.S. Census definition of a housing unit. Generally, an ADU, and a JADU with shared sanitation facilities, and any other unit that meets the U.S.
Census definition and is reported to DOF as part of the DOF annual City and County Housing Unit Change Survey can be credited toward the RHNA based on the appropriate income level.
The housing element or APR must include a reasonable methodology to demonstrate the level of affordability. Local governments can track actual or anticipated affordability to assure ADUs and JADUs are counted towards the appropriate income category. For example, some local governments request and track information such as anticipated affordability as part of the building permit or other local applications.

28 What analysis is required to count ADUs toward the RHNA in the housing element? To count ADUs towards the RHNA in the housing element, local agencies must generally use a three-part approach: (1) development trends, (2) anticipated affordability, and (3) resources and incentives. Development trends must consider ADUs permitted in the prior planning period and may also consider more recent trends. Anticipated affordability can use a variety of methods to estimate the affordability by income group. Common approaches include rent surveys of ADUs, using rent surveys and square footage assumptions and data available through the APR required by Government Code section 65400. Resources and incentives include policies and programs to encourage ADUs, such as prototype plans, fee waivers, expedited procedures, and affordability monitoring programs.
Are ADUs required to be addressed in the housing element? Yes. The housing element must include a description of zoning available to permit ADUs, including development standards and analysis of potential constraints on the development of ADUs. The element must include programs to address identified constraints. In addition, housing elements must include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households and requires HCD to develop a list of state grants and financial incentives in connection with the planning, construction, and operation of affordable ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 65583; HSC, § 50504.5.) Can ADUs and JADUs impact a local agency’s Prohousing Designation status? Yes. To qualify for a Prohousing Designation, a local agency must be in compliance with all applicable state housing laws, such as those mentioned in Government Codes section 65585, subdivision (j), which includes State ADU Law. An approved housing element and any associated programs which promote ADU development will also need to be enacted and in compliance to meet the minimum threshold requirements for a Prohousing Designation.
Additionally, ADUs and JADUs are specifically identified within the Prohousing Designation Program as designation criteria under California Code of Regulations, Title 25, section 6606, meaning that an ADU ordinance or program which promotes ADU development beyond the minimum requirements of State ADU Law may score additional points towards their Prohousing Designation. In other words, local agencies that are in violation of State ADU Law will be ineligible for a Prohousing Designation, while local agencies that promote additional ADU development can score additional points towards their Prohousing Designation, and all the benefits that designation provides. (CCR Title 25, §§ 6600-6608).
JADUs
What is a JADU?
A “junior accessory dwelling unit” or JADU is a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence. A JADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. (Gov. Code, § 66333.) Are two JADUs allowed on a lot?
No. Only one JADU may be created per lot zoned for single-family residences with an existing or proposed single-family residence (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (a)). The JADU may be created within the walls of the proposed or existing single-family residence, including attached 159
29 garages (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d)). If there are multiple detached single-family residential units on one lot, there can only be one JADU.
Can a JADU be created within a “half-plex”?
Yes, a JADU is permitted in a half-plex. A half-plex consists of two primary dwelling units on separate lots that share a dividing wall. One JADU is permitted in each half-plex in areas zoned for single-family use. (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (a).) If two units are attached on a single lot (i.e., a duplex), the primary dwelling is considered multifamily and would not qualify for a JADU.
Are JADUs required to have an interior connection to the primary dwelling? JADUs are required to be within the walls of the primary dwelling but are not required to have an interior connection to the primary dwelling. However, if the JADU does not include a separate bathroom, the JADU must include an interior entrance to the main living area. (Gov.
Code, § 66333, subd. (e)(2).)
Are JADUs allowed in detached accessory structures?
No, JADUs are not allowed in accessory structures. The creation of a JADU must be within the single-family residence. As noted above, “enclosed uses” within the residence, such as attached garages, are eligible for JADU creation. (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d).) Are JADUs allowed to be increased by up to 150 square feet when created within an existing structure?
No. Only ADUs that are created from existing accessory structures are allowed to add up to 150 square feet “beyond the physical dimensions of the existing accessory structure” to provide for ingress or egress (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1)(A)).
Are there any owner-occupancy requirements for JADUs?
Yes. The owner must reside in either the remaining portion of the primary residence or in the newly created JADU. Owner-occupancy is not required when the owner is another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization. (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (b).) What can local agencies require as part of an “efficiency kitchen”? An efficiency kitchen is a cooking facility with appliances, a food preparation counter, and storage cabinets that are of reasonable size in relation to the size of the JADU (Gov. Code, § 66333, subds. (f)(1), (f)(2)). A local agency cannot be more restrictive than this definition. Thus, requirements such as counter or cabinet sizes, specified electrical or gas connections, or appliance types are not authorized by State JADU Law.
Are JADUs required to provide parking?
No. Local agencies may not require parking as a condition to permitting a JADU, even when the JADU is converted from an attached garage (Gov. Code, § 66334, subd. (a)). 160
30 Local ADU Ordinances and Local Agencies
Should a local ordinance encourage the development of ADUs? Yes. Pursuant to Government Code section 66310, the California Legislature found and declared that, among other things, California is facing a severe housing crisis and ADUs are a valuable form of housing that meets the needs of family members, students, the elderly, inhome health care providers, people with disabilities, and others. Therefore, ADUs are an essential component of California’s housing supply.
Recent changes to State ADU Law intend to address barriers, streamline approval, and expand potential capacity for ADUs, recognizing their unique importance in addressing California’s housing needs. The preparation, adoption, amendment, and implementation of local ADU ordinances must be carried out consistently with Government Code section 66310 and must not unduly restrict the creation of ADUs. Local governments adopting ADU ordinances should carefully weigh the adoption of zoning, development standards, and other provisions for impacts on the development of ADUs.
State ADU Law provides the statutory minimum requirements for ADUs and JADUs. Local governments may elect to go beyond this statutory minimum to further the creation of ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66325, subd. (b).) Many local governments have embraced the importance of ADUs as an important part of their overall housing policies and have pursued innovative strategies.
Can a local agency adopt an ADU “bonus program?”
Yes. One common strategy used by local agencies to promote ADU development is to adopt ADU bonus programs. HCD supports this approach to go above and beyond State ADU Law’s requirements to address California’s ongoing housing crisis. A successful ADU bonus program should meet the following criteria:
1. The ADU bonus program is completely optional – There is no requirement, and no consequence for not taking part in a local bonus program.
2. The ADU bonus program only offers benefits in addition to the provisions of State ADU Law, not in lieu of them – All state-mandated requirements are granted unconditionally.
3. The ADU bonus program removes one or more physical constraints, such as a limitation on the number of allowable units on a lot, ADU size, height, setback requirements, or a waiver of design and development criteria.
Does HCD have enforcement authority over ADU ordinances? Yes. Pursuant to Government Code section 66326, subdivision (a), local agencies are required to submit a copy of newly adopted ADU ordinances to HCD within 60 days of adoption. HCD may thereafter provide written findings to the local agency as to whether the ordinance complies with State ADU Law. If HCD finds that the ADU ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law, the local agency must respond to HCD’s written findings within 30 days. The local agency shall either amend its ordinance in accordance with HCD’s findings, or adopt the ordinance without changes, but include findings in its resolution explaining why the ordinance complies with State ADU Law despite HCD’s findings. (Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b).) 161
31 Although not required by State ADU Law, HCD may continue to offer further technical assistance to the local agency. However, if the local agency does not amend its ordinance in accordance with HCD’s findings or adopt a resolution explaining why the ordinance is compliant, HCD shall notify the local agency and may notify the Attorney General that the local agency is in violation of State ADU Law. (Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (c)(1).) While an ordinance is non-compliant, the local agency shall apply state standards for the approval of ADUs, until the local agency adopts a compliant ordinance. (Gov. Code, § 66316.) In addition, HCD may review, adopt, amend, or repeal guidelines to implement uniform standards or criteria that supplement or clarify State ADU Law (Gov. Code, § 66327).
Do local agencies have to adopt an ADU ordinance?
No. Local agencies may choose not to adopt an ADU ordinance. Should a local government choose not to adopt an ADU ordinance, any proposed ADU development would be subject only to the standards set forth in State ADU Law. (Gov. Code, §§ 66315, 66316.) A local agency that adopts an ADU ordinance may impose objective development and design standards in compliance with Government Code section 66314.
Is a local agency required to send an ADU ordinance to HCD? Yes. A local government, upon adoption of an ADU ordinance, must submit a copy of the adopted ordinance to HCD within 60 days after adoption. After the adoption of an ordinance, HCD may review and submit written findings to the local agency as to whether the ordinance complies with the State ADU Law. (Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (a).) Are charter cities and counties subject to the new ADU laws? Yes. State ADU Law applies to a local agency, which is defined as a city, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered (Gov. Code, §§ 66312; 66313, subd. (g)).
Do ADU laws apply to areas governed by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA)? Possibly. The TRPA was formed through a bistate compact between California and Nevada, which elevates its authority above state laws. Under this authority, TRPA has adopted certain restrictions that effectively limit lot coverage on developed land. State ADU Law may conflict to a degree with the TRPA standards, and to the extent that it does, the TRPA law preempts or overrides State ADU Law. For more information, please see: https://www.trpa.gov/adus/.
Manufactured Homes
Can a manufactured home be used as an ADU?
Yes. By definition, an ADU includes manufactured homes (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (a)(2); HSC, §§ 18007, 18008).
162
32 For more information on Manufactured Homes please contact the Division of Codes and Standards at [email protected].
Mobilehome Parks
Are ADUs permitted on lots within mobilehome parks or special occupancy parks? No. A lot, as defined in Health and Safety Code sections 18210 and 18862.23, allows for only one manufactured home, mobilehome, or recreational vehicle. Health and Safety Code section 18862.23 also allows one tent, camp car, camping cabin, or camping party on a lot within a special occupancy park.
For more information, please contact the Division of Codes and Standards at:
[email protected] for Northern CA or [email protected] for Southern CA.
Multifamily ADUs
What is considered a multifamily dwelling under State ADU Law? For the purposes of creating an ADU, a structure with two or more attached dwellings on a single lot is considered a multifamily dwelling structure. Multiple detached single-unit dwellings on the same lot are not considered multifamily dwellings for the purposes of State ADU Law.
Does a local agency have to permit ADUs on lots zoned for multifamily use? Yes. A local agency must permit an attached, detached, or converted ADU on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family or multifamily residential use and includes an existing or proposed dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66314, subds. (d)(2), (d)(3)). An applicant may build a detached or a converted ADU on a site in a residential or mixed-use zone with a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a)(3), (a)(4).) (See next question for more information.)
How many ADUs are allowed on a multifamily site under Government Code section 66323?
Under Government Code section 66323, an applicant may apply to build up to eight detached Health and Safety Code section 18007, subdivision (a): “Manufactured home,” for the purposes of this part, means a structure that was constructed on or after June 15, 1976, is transportable in one or more sections, is eight body feet or more in width, or 40 body feet or more in length, in the traveling mode, or, when erected on site, is 320 or more square feet, is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a single-family dwelling with or without a foundation when connected to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. “Manufactured home” includes any structure that meets all the requirements of this paragraph except the size requirements and with respect to which the manufacturer voluntarily files a certification and complies with the standards established under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C., Sec. 5401, and following).
163
33 ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(A)) and at least one conversion ADU within an existing multifamily dwelling and up to 25 percent of the number of units in the existing multifamily dwelling (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(3)(B)).
Can JADUs be created in multifamily dwelling structures? No. JADUs may only be constructed on a site with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling in an area zoned for single-family residences; a JADU cannot be constructed on a multifamily site (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (a)).
Can a permitting agency impose accessibility standards on ADUs converted from existing space?
Maybe. For more information on ADA standards as they apply to your specific dwelling, please contact the Division of Codes and Standards at [email protected].
Can a leasing office be converted into an ADU?
Yes. A leasing office within an existing multifamily dwelling structure can be converted to at least one ADU – and up to 25 percent of the existing multifamily dwelling units – provided the ADUs comply with state building standards for dwellings. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(3)(A).)
In addition, a leasing office on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling may be converted into up to eight detached ADUs, not to exceed the number of existing units on the lot and subject to height limitations in section 66321, subdivision (b), and to rear yard and side setbacks of no more than four feet. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(A).)
Finally, an ADU can be created from an accessory space, including a leasing office, that is either attached to or located within the multifamily structure or an accessory structure, or is detached from the primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the primary dwelling, and complies with other applicable standards. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(3).) Nonconforming Zoning
Can a local agency refuse to permit an ADU or JADU because of nonconforming zoning conditions?
No. State ADU Law limits a local agency’s ability to deny a permit application due to the correction of existing, nonconforming zoning conditions. Nonconforming zoning conditions are physical improvements on a property that do not conform to current zoning standards. (Gov.
Code, § 66313, subd. (h)). For 66323 Units, a local agency cannot condition approval on the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (c)). For all other ADUs, a local agency may only deny a permit to create an ADU due to zoning nonconformance when the non-conformance creates a threat to public health and safety and is affected by the construction of the ADU (Gov. Code, §§ 66322, subd. (b)). 164
34 Owner-Occupancy
Can local agencies require owner-occupancy for an ADU?
No. A local agency cannot impose an owner-occupancy requirement on any ADU (Gov. Code, § 66315).
Parking Requirements
Can ADU parking requirements exceed one space per unit or bedroom? No. Parking requirements for ADUs shall not exceed one parking space per unit or bedroom, whichever is less (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(10)(A)). These spaces may be provided as tandem parking on a driveway (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(10)(B)). Guest parking spaces shall not be required for ADUs under any circumstances. In addition, a local agency may not require off-street parking spaces to be replaced when a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(11)).
Local agencies may choose to eliminate or reduce parking requirements for ADUs, such as requiring zero or a fraction of a parking space per each ADU (such as a ½ space per unit), to further reduce barriers to ADU construction and to facilitate more development of mixed-modal transportation such as walking and public transit.
Are certain ADUs exempt from parking requirements?
Yes. A local agency shall not impose parking standards on any of the following ADUs, pursuant to Government Code section 66322, subdivision (a):
1) ADUs located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit. 2) ADUs located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district. 3) ADUs that are part of the proposed or existing primary residence or an accessory structure.
4) When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the ADU. 5) When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the ADU. 6) When a permit application for an ADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family dwelling or a new multifamily dwelling on the same lot, provided that the ADU or the parcel satisfies any other criteria listed in Government Code section 66322, subdivision (a)(1)-(5).
Parking requirements for ADUs may not exceed one parking space per ADU or per bedroom, whichever is less (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(10)). ADUs which have no bedrooms because they are an “efficiency unit” or studio do not increase the bedroom count.
In addition, local agencies may not impose parking requirements on 66323 Units.
Is flexibility for siting ADU parking recommended?
Yes. Local agencies should be flexible when siting parking for ADUs. Off-street parking spaces for the ADU shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the local agency or through tandem parking unless specific findings are made otherwise based on specific site or 165
35 regional topographical or fire and life safety conditions. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(10)(B).) When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU, or converted to an ADU, the local agency shall not require that those off-street parking spaces for the primary unit be replaced (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(11)).
Permit Applications and Permitting Agencies
What is an ADU permitting agency?
A permitting agency is “any entity that is involved in the review of a permit for an accessory dwelling unit or JADU and for which there is no substitute, including, but not limited to, applicable planning departments, building departments, utilities, and special districts.” (Gov.
Code, § 66313, subd. (k).) See also the Glossary section of this Handbook for this definition.
Are ADUs permitted ministerially?
Yes. ADUs subject to State ADU Law must be considered, approved or denied, and permitted ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a)).
Development standards must be objective to allow for ministerial review (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (b)(1)). Objective standards require a uniform benchmark or reference that is knowable by both the permit applicant and the permitting agency prior to the submission of an application to create or serve an ADU (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (i)).
What are considered objective standards for ministerial approval? Examples include numeric and fixed standards such as heights or setbacks, or design standards such as specified colors or materials. See also the Glossary section of this Handbook for the definition of objective standards.
What would be considered subjective standards?
Subjective standards require independent judgement and are open to multiple interpretations.
Language such as “privacy,” “compatibility with neighboring properties,” “promoting design harmony and balance,” “must maintain similar architecture style,” or requiring “high quality materials” are subjective and may not be imposed on ADU development (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (i)).
What is the process and timeline for reviewing and approving ADU and JADU applications?
Under the Permit Streamlining Act, and whether or not a local agency has adopted an ordinance, a local agency has 30 calendar days to determine whether or not an ADU application is complete. If an application is deemed incomplete, the local agency must provide an exhaustive list of items that were not complete. That list shall be limited to those items actually required on the lead agency’s submittal requirement checklist. (Gov. Code, § 65943, subd. (a).)
If the application is complete, it must be approved or denied ministerially within 60 days from the date the permitting agency received the complete application (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, subd. (a); 66320, subd. (a)). Applicants are responsible for paying all applicable processing and 166
36 permitting fees that may be due at the time of application.
What kind of environmental review is required for ADUs and JADUs? ADUs and JADUs approved ministerially are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15268 (Ministerial Projects) of the CEQA guidelines and Section 21080, subdivision (b)(1) of the Public Resources Code. In addition, ADUs can be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15303 of the CEQA guidelines, authority cited under Public Resources Code Sections 21083 and 21084. ADU and JADU ordinances are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 21080.17.
What does ministerial review of a permit application involve? A ministerial review ensures that the permit application meets all the applicable objective standards effective at the time of the review and uses no discretionary judgment, opinion, or subjective standards. Agency staff inspect the submitted application, site plan, and building plans for compliance with applicable standards. This often means that the permitting agency (i.e., planning, building, fire departments and utilities) reviews the application using only checklists. (Gov. Code, §§ 66316, 66317, 66320.)
Can an applicant delay the 60-day timeline?
Yes. If an applicant would like to request a delay on their application for any reason, they may do so. The 60-day period to approve or deny the permit shall be tolled for the period of the delay. (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a).)
When is an ADU permit application “deemed approved” without formal review? An ADU permit application is “deemed approved” when the permitting agency fails to approve or deny a completed application within 60 days of receiving a completed application (Gov.
Code, §§ 66317, subd. (a); 66320, subd. (a)).
Do ADUs need a Certificate of Occupancy?
Yes, property owners must obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the local agency prior to any residential occupancy of an ADU or JADU (Gov. Code, § 66328; 2022 CBC, § 111).
Can the local agency deny a permit application for an unpermitted ADU that was built before 2020?
A local agency shall not deny a permit for an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, due to the ADU being in violation of building standards, non-compliance with State ADU Law, or any local ordinance regulating ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (a)).
However, the local agency may deny the permit if the local agency makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure, or if the building is deemed substandard pursuant to section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code (Gov. Code, § 66332, subds. (b), (c)).
What happens when an application for an ADU is denied?
The permitting agency denying the application must provide the applicant a full set of comments listing items that are defective or deficient and include a description of how the application may be remedied. A full set of comments includes all comments from all reviewers, 167
37 from every permitting agency. The 60-day countdown continues until the complete list is provided. (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, 66320.) A local agency which has provided a complete set of correction comments has fulfilled this requirement. Following a denial, a subsequent application resets the 60-day period.
The applicant may address the proposed remedy and resubmit the application to the permitting agency. A local agency may charge a fee to process a resubmitted application. (Gov. Code, § 66335 subd. (c).)
How can I request technical assistance from HCD about the denial of my ADU application?
Questions and requests for technical assistance should be submitted through HCD’s ADU Portal, which is available on HCD’s ADU webpage: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-andresearch/accessory-dwelling-units. To reach the portal, navigate to “Contact the ADU Team.” Applicants should first work to address the denial with the permitting agency via the agency’s process. HCD may provide technical assistance after an application has been submitted.
However, HCD may not respond or follow up with a permitting agency if there is no pending application.
Rental Terms
Are rental terms allowed?
Yes. Local agencies may require that ADUs be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days (Gov. Code, § 66315). ADUs created pursuant to Government Code section 66323 must be rented for terms longer than 30 days (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (e)).
Sales and Separate Conveyance
Can ADUs be sold or separately conveyed?
A local agency may adopt a local ordinance to allow separate conveyance of the primary unit and the ADU as condominiums if the ordinance meets specific requirements laid out in Government Code section 66342. In addition, Government Code section 66341 creates a narrow exception to allow separate conveyance of an ADU to a qualified buyer if the property was built or developed by a qualified nonprofit corporation and meets other requirements specified in section 66341.
Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) (Chapter 162, Statutes of 2021)
How does SB 9 work with ADUs?
SB 9 (Gov. Codes, §§ 65852.21, 66411.7) and State ADU Law are complementary. Both laws can be implemented in ways that result in developments with both “SB 9 Units” and ADUs.
However, in no case does SB 9 require a local agency to allow more than four units on a single lot, in any combination of primary units and ADUs or JADUs. For example, when a lot split has not occurred, the lot is eligible to receive a second primary unit on the lot under SB 9 and to receive up to two ADUs under State ADU Law. When a lot split occurs under SB 9, each lot is 168
38 eligible for up to two units, including, for example, a primary unit and an ADU or JADU. In the case that a lot owner both splits a lot and builds two primary units on each resulting lot under SB 9, State ADU Law is superseded (i.e., neither lot is entitled to an ADU or JADU); in all other cases, State ADU Law applies, up to SB 9’s four-unit cap. (Gov. Code, § 66411.7, subd. (j).)
Members of the public with SB 9 complaints are encouraged to share them to the Housing Accountability Unit Portal. Please also see HCD’s SB 9 Fact Sheet.
Setbacks
Can setbacks be required for ADUs?
Yes. A local agency may impose objective development standards, such as setbacks, for the creation of ADUs. A setback of no more than four feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an attached or detached ADU (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(7)). Additional setback requirements may be required in the Coastal Zone if required by a local Coastal Program (Gov. Code, § 66329).
Are setbacks required for ADUs/JADUs created within an existing structure or replacing an existing structure?
No setback shall be required for an ADU or JADU created within an existing living area or accessory structure or an ADU created in a new structure in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(7)).
Can a local agency impose front setbacks?
Yes. A local agency may apply front yard setbacks for ADUs, but front yard setbacks cannot preclude an ADU of at least 800 square feet from being built on the property, even if that ADU would exist partially or wholly within the front setback (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(3)).
Can a local agency require an ADU be built in an alternate location to comply with front setback requirements?
Maybe. Local agencies may set objective standards, including front setbacks. However, a permitting agency may not require that an ADU of up to 800 square feet be built in an alternative location based on discretionary, or non-objective, standards. Requiring an alternative site, using objective standards, to comply with front setback requirements must not be overly burdensome such that it unreasonably restricts the ability of homeowners to create ADUs in zones in which they are authorized by local ordinance. (Gov. Code, §§ 66321, subd. (b)(3); 66311.)
Is there a distance requirement between an ADU and other structures on the lot? State ADU Law does not address the distance between an ADU and other structures on a lot.
A local agency may impose objective development standards for the creation of some ADUs, and all ADUs must comply with local building codes. However, development standards should not unreasonably restrict the creation of ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66311.) Minimum distance or other requirements may not be applied if they would unreasonably restrict the creation of ADUs, unless they are a requirement of a Building or Fire Code (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(8)).
169
39 Size Requirements and Restrictions
How is the square footage of an ADU or JADU calculated? The CBC provides the minimum standards to which all buildings in California must be built (California Building Code, Vol. 2, 1.1.3). The CBC also allows local agencies to adopt amendments, additions, or deletions to the provisions of the CBC which are reasonably necessary and are more restrictive than the CBC’s standards (California Building Code, Vol. 2,
1.1.8).
The CBC defines “Floor Area, Gross” as “[t]he floor area within the inside perimeter of the exterior walls of the building under consideration, exclusive of vent shafts and courts, without deduction for corridors, stairways, ramps, closets, the thickness of interior walls, columns or other features. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with surrounding exterior walls shall be the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above.
The gross floor area shall not include shafts with no openings or interior courts.” Government Code section 66314, subdivision (d)(8) states that a local ADU ordinance must require ADUs to comply with local building codes. Thus, when a local agency has not adopted specific changes to the CBC in its local building standards, then the CBC standards, and in this case the definition of floor area, shall apply. If the local agency has made specific amendments, additions, or deletions relating to the definition of “Floor Area” within its local building standards, then those altered definitions shall apply.
Can minimum lot size requirements be imposed on ADUs?
No. Local governments may not include minimum lot size requirements for ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (b)(1)).
Can lot coverage or floor area ratio preclude an ADU?
Limits on lot coverage or any floor area ratio requirements cannot preclude the creation of an ADU of at least 800 square feet that maintains four-foot rear and side setbacks. While floor area ratio and lot coverage requirements can be applied to other ADUs, such requirements must not unreasonably restrict the creation of ADUs. (Gov. Code, §§ 66321, subd. (b)(3); 66311.)
Can minimum and maximum unit sizes be established for ADUs? Yes. A local government may, by ordinance, establish minimum and maximum unit size requirements for both attached and detached ADUs; however, maximum unit size requirements must allow an ADU of at least 850 square feet, or 1,000 square feet for ADUs with more than one bedroom. (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(2).) For local agencies without a compliant ADU ordinance, maximum unit sizes are 1,200 square feet for a new detached ADU (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(4)) and up to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling for an attached ADU (at least 800 square feet) (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(5); 66321, subd. (a)(3)). Finally, the local agency must not establish by ordinance a minimum square footage requirement that prohibits the development of an efficiency unit as defined in Health and Safety Code section 17958.1. An efficiency unit may be as small as 150 square feet in floor area (HSC, § 17958.1).
170
40 The conversion of an existing accessory structure or a portion of the existing primary residence to an ADU is not subject to unit size requirements. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1).) Can open space or landscaping requirements be used to limit the size of or deny an ADU permit?
No. A local agency's open space zoning requirements may not deny an ADU of at least 800 square feet with four-foot rear and side setbacks (Gov. Code, § 66321, subd. (b)(3)). In addition, 66323 Units are not subject to local open space and landscaping requirements in an ADU ordinance (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b)).
Can a percentage of the primary dwelling be used to limit the maximum size of an attached ADU?
Yes. Local agencies may utilize a percentage (e.g., not greater than 50 percent) of the existing primary dwelling as a maximum unit size for attached ADUs, but only if it does not restrict an ADU’s size to less than 850 square feet, or 1,000 square feet for ADUs with more than one bedroom (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(4); 66321 (b)(2)).
Can maximum unit sizes exceed 1,200 square feet for ADUs? Yes. Maximum unit sizes can exceed 1,200 square feet for ADUs through the adoption of a less stringent local ADU ordinance. State ADU Law does not limit the authority of local agencies to adopt less restrictive requirements for the creation of ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66325, subd. (b).)
Solar Requirements
Are solar systems required for newly constructed ADUs?
Yes, newly constructed ADUs are subject to the California Energy Code requirement (excluding manufactured homes) to provide solar systems if the unit(s) is a newly constructed, detached ADU (though some exceptions apply). Per the California Energy Commission (CEC), the solar systems can be installed on the ADU or on the primary dwelling unit. ADUs that are constructed within existing space, or as an addition to existing homes, including detached additions where an existing detached building is converted from non-residential to residential space, are not subject to the California Energy Code requirement to provide solar systems.
Please refer to the CEC on this matter. For more information, see the CEC’s website at www.energy.ca.gov. You may email your questions to [email protected], or contact the Energy Standards Hotline at 800-772-3300. CEC memos can also be found on HCD’s website at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-and-research/accessory-dwelling-units.
Tiny Homes
Are “tiny homes” considered ADUs?
Possibly. While State ADU Law does not specifically reference “tiny homes,” “tiny home” is an industry term that can mean different structures or vehicles. If the unit meets the definition of an ADU in Government Code section 66313, subdivision (a), it is subject to ADU Law. For 171
41 more information on “tiny homes,” see Information Bulletin 2016-01 at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/docs/hcd-bulletin-tiny-home-ib-2016-01.pdf. You may also contact HCD’s Division of Codes and Standards at [email protected].
Types of ADUs
What are attached ADUs?
An attached ADU is a newly created (constructed) dwelling structure that structurally abuts (and connects to) an existing or proposed primary dwelling or accessory structure (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(3)). This can be constructed on top of or below the primary dwelling. The attached ADU extends beyond the building plane of the existing or proposed primary dwelling unit. An attached ADU shall not exceed 50 percent of the existing primary dwelling’s floor area size. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(4).)
Examples of attached ADUs include, but are not limited to:
• An ADU addition to a duplex.
• An ADU built on top of an attached garage.
• An ADU built as a new second story of a single-family dwelling. • An ADU built in a newly constructed basement.
What are converted ADUs?
Converted ADUs are dwelling units that are created from existing space within proposed or existing primary dwelling units or existing accessory structures. For single family residences, the converted ADU is created from the proposed or existing space of the single-family residence or the existing space of an accessory structure. For multifamily dwelling structures, the converted ADUs are created from portions of the multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space (i.e., storage rooms, passageways, etc.). (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a)(1), (a)(3)(A).)
What standards apply to ADU conversions?
Objective standards related to height, lot coverage, landscape, design, development, and architectural standards in the local ADU ordinance do not apply to ADU conversions. However, since ADU conversions are created within an existing structure, the height of ADU conversions are limited to the dimension of the original structure. ADU conversions are not subject to setback requirements because they are created within an existing living area or are constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure. (Gov.
Code, § 66323, subds. (a)(1), (a)(3)(A).) ADU conversions are subject to all applicable building, health and safety, and fire standards for dwellings.
Can accessory structures be converted into an ADU?
Yes. The conversion of detached garages, sheds, and other existing detached accessory structures into ADUs is permitted by State ADU Law (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(3); 66323, subds. (a)(1), (a)(3)(A)).
172
42 What are Detached ADUs?
Detached ADUs are newly constructed dwelling units that are created on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling structure but are detached from the primary dwelling (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (d)(3); 66323, subds. (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(4)(A)).
Can detached ADUs on multifamily lots be attached to each other? Yes. Multifamily lots qualify for two detached, new construction ADUs on lots with a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, not to exceed the total number of existing units on the lot. These ADUs are detached from the primary multifamily structure but do not have to be detached from each other or other accessory structures on the lot. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(4)(A).) For more information on 66323 Units, please see the “66323 Units” section above.
Unpermitted Structures and ADUs
Can a local agency deny a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU built prior to January 1, 2020?
Local agencies may not deny a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU created prior to January 1, 2020. An inspector from the local agency may inspect the unit for compliance with health and safety standards and provide recommendations to comply with health and safety standards necessary to obtain a permit. If the inspector finds noncompliance with health and safety standards, the local agency shall not penalize an applicant for having the unpermitted ADU or JADU and shall approve necessary permits to correct noncompliance with health and safety standards (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (f)). However, the local agency may deny a permit if it finds that the building is substandard. This does not preclude the local agency from pursuing enforcement action on these violations, and an applicant may be required to make alterations or repairs accordingly. (Gov. Code, § 66332.) How does an applicant know what items are related to health and safety and may lead to needing corrections for an unpermitted ADU or JADU?
A local agency shall inform the public about the provisions of this section through public information resources, including permit checklists and the local agency’s internet website, which shall include both of the following: (1) a checklist of the conditions specified in Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code that would deem a building substandard, and (2) information that, before applying for a permit, the homeowner may obtain a confidential third-party code inspection from a licensed contractor to determine the unit’s existing condition or potential scope of building improvements (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (d)(1), (d)(2)).3 Can a local agency charge impact, connection, or capacity fees for an unpermitted ADU or JADU built prior to January 1, 2020?
No. A homeowner applying for a permit for a previously unpermitted ADU or JADU constructed 3 See the Department of Consumer Affairs’ Contractors State License Board’s contractor license check resource, available at
https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/checklicenseII/checklicense.aspx. 173
43 before January 1, 2020, shall not be required to pay impact fees or connection or capacity charges to obtain a permit if they provide written evidence that their household income does not exceed the definition of a low- or moderate-income household, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code (Gov. Code, § 66332, subd. (e)).
Utilities
Can a local agency, special district, or water corporation require a new or separate connection for an ADU?
ADUs and JADUs created from the existing space of a primary dwelling or accessory structure pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a)(1), cannot be required to install a new or separate connection unless the ADU is constructed concurrently with a new singlefamily dwelling. For all other ADUs not created pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a)(1), a new or separate connection directly from the utility to the ADU may be required (Gov. Code, § 66324, subds. (d), (e)).
What if I have questions about electrical or gas utilities in connection with an ADU? HCD does not have authority over issues related to gas and electrical services. If an applicant believes that a local utility provider is not complying with connection requirements, fee schedules, or other issues that impact the creation of or service of an ADU, the applicant can file a complaint with the appropriate agency.
For privately owned public utilities such as PG&E, contact the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) by using CPUC’s online complaint form, by calling 1-800-649-7570, or by sending a letter to:
California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94102–3298
For publicly owned utilities such as SMUD, the applicant will need to contact the utility directly and follow their complaint process.
Zoning, Development, and Other Standards
Are ADUs allowed jurisdiction-wide?
No. Local agencies may, by ordinance, designate where ADUs are permitted within zones that allow residential use. However, any limits on where ADUs are allowed may only be based on the adequacy of water and sewer service and on the impacts on traffic flow and public safety. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (a).)
Local governments may not preclude the creation of ADUs altogether, and any limitation should be accompanied by detailed findings of fact explaining why ADU limitations are required and consistent with these factors. If a lot with a residence has been rezoned to a use that does not allow for residential uses, that lot is no longer eligible for an ADU. (Gov. Code, §§ 174
44 66314; 66323, subd. (a).) Impacts on traffic flow should consider factors like lower car ownership rates for ADUs. Finally, local governments may develop alternative procedures, standards, or special conditions with mitigations for allowing ADUs in areas with potential health and safety concerns.
Can local agencies restrict ADUs based on Fire Hazard Severity Zones or other environmental hazards?
HCD understands that extreme weather conditions occur, and the threat of destructive wildfires cannot be ignored. Some agencies have used the High (HFHSZ) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) maps provided by CAL FIRE to mark areas where ADUs may be restricted or prohibited altogether. However, according to CAL FIRE, the HFHSZ and VHFHSZ maps are intended to govern building materials used in construction and defining zones of defensibility around structures. These are not intended to restrict housing development. The presence of a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone is not a conclusive rationale to warrant restricting ADUs. A restriction based on the threat to public safety should be supported with findings detailing the impact of ADUs on public safety. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (a).) Can an ADU application be denied due to lot density?
No. An ADU ordinance shall provide that ADUs do not exceed the allowable density on the lot (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (c)). Additionally, ADUs which conform to Government Code section 66314 shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (c); 66319).
Can ADUs serve to qualify a project for a density bonus pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (SDBL), even though the general plan designation on the site allows less than five primary units?
Yes. A project initially qualifies under the SDBL when the project’s “total units,” as defined in the SDBL (i.e., the number of units in the project before a density bonus is received) meet or exceed five units (Gov. Code, § 65915, subd. (o)(8)). Although the SDBL makes no mention of ADUs in its text, it likewise does not expressly narrow the definition of unit to exclude ADUs.
Provided they are counted within the total units of the project, ADUs are a type of housing unit that may be counted for the purposes of achieving the five total unit minimum.
If ADUs can be used to qualify a project under the SDBL’s minimum total unit requirement, can they likewise be used to calculate a density bonus? No. The calculation of a density bonus is based solely on a site’s maximum allowable residential density, which does not include ADUs. A density bonus is defined as “a density increases over the otherwise maximum allowable gross residential density…” (Gov. Code, § 65915, subd. (f)). Maximum allowable residential density is defined as “the greatest number of units allowed under the zoning ordinance, specific plan, or land use element of the general plan.” (Gov. Code, § 65915, subd. (o)(6).) As an example, if the zoning ordinance allows up to two units and the general plan allows up to three, the applicable maximum allowable residential density (i.e., base density) on the site is three units, even though the addition of two ADUs brings the total units to five (see question above). The density bonus would then be calculated on top of a base density of three units, not five. 175
45 Can a local government apply design and development standards? Yes. With an adopted ADU ordinance in compliance with State ADU Law, a local government may apply objective development and design standards that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, maximum size of a unit, and standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. These standards must be objective to allow ministerial review of an ADU. (Gov. Code, §§ 66314, subd. (b)(1); 66316.) ADUs created under Government Code section 66323 shall not be subject to design and development standards except for those that are specified in section 66323. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subds. (a), (b)).
Can an ADU be built in a historic district or if the primary residence is subject to historic preservation?
Yes. ADUs are allowed within a historic district and on lots where the primary residence is subject to historic preservation. State ADU Law allows for a local agency to impose standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (b)(1).) As with non-historic resources, an agency may impose objective standards that do not unreasonably restrict the creation of ADUs (Gov. Code, § 66311). Local agencies are encouraged to incorporate these standards into their ordinances and to submit these standards along with their ordinances to HCD.
How should demolition of garages in conjunction with the permitting of an ADU be handled by a local or permitting agency?
The local or permitting agency must review and issue the demolition permit and ADU application at the same time. The applicant shall not be required to provide written notice or post a placard for the demolition of the garage unless the property is located in an architecturally and historically significant historic district. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subds. (e), (f).) 176
46 Resources
Changes to State ADU Laws
AB 2533
AB 2533 (Chapter 834, Statutes of 2024) made various changes to State ADU Law (Gov.
Code, § 66332) regarding unpermitted ADUs and goes into effect on January 1, 2025. This bill:
• Prohibits a local agency from denying a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU that was constructed before January 1, 2020, for those violations, unless the local agency makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with conditions that would otherwise deem a building substandard.
• Requires a local agency to inform the public about the provisions prohibiting denial of a permit for an unpermitted ADU or JADU.
• Requires this information to include a checklist of the conditions that deem a building substandard and to inform homeowners that, before submitting a permit application, the homeowner may obtain a confidential third-party code inspection from a licensed contractor.
• Prohibits a local agency from requiring a homeowner to pay impact fees or connection or capacity charges except under specified circumstances. • Authorizes an inspector from a local agency, upon receiving an application for a permit for a previously unpermitted ADU or JADU constructed before January 1, 2020, to inspect the unit for compliance with health and safety standards and provide recommendations to comply with health and safety standards. 177
47 • Prohibits the local agency from penalizing an applicant for having the unpermitted ADU and would require the local agency to approve necessary permits to correct noncompliance with health and safety standards.
SB 1211
SB 1211 (Chapter 296, Statutes of 2024) made various changes to State ADU Law (Gov.
Code, §§ 66313, 66314, 66323) with regard to replacement parking and 66323 Units on lots with existing or proposed multifamily dwellings and goes into effect on January 1, 2025. This bill:
• Defines “livable space” as a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, as the term appears in Government Code sections 66313, subdivision (e), and 66323, subdivision (a)(3)(A).
• Specifies that uncovered, off-street parking spaces demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU do not need to be replaced.
• Authorizes up to eight detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot.
• Prohibits a local agency from imposing any objective development standards on 66323 Units that are not authorized by the provisions of Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a).
SB 477
SB 477 (Chapter 7, Statutes of 2024) made changes to the numbering of the sections of Government Code for State ADU and JADU Laws. The bill went into effect on March 25, 2024.

AB 976 and AB 1033
AB 976 (Chapter 751, Statutes of 2023) and AB 1033 (Chapter 1033, Statutes of 2023) made changes to State ADU Law (Gov. Code, §§ 66310-66342) regarding the occupancy, sale, and separate conveyance of ADUs and went into effect on January 1, 2024. These bills:
• Removed the existing 2025 sunset prohibition on a local agency imposing an owneroccupancy requirement on any ADU and would instead prohibit a local agency from requiring owner-occupancy for an ADU (Gov. Code, § 66315). • Authorized a local agency to adopt a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU(s) as condominiums, subject to certain conditions (Gov. Code, §§ 66340-66342). Specifically:
o Condominiums shall be created pursuant to the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act.
o Condominiums shall be created in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act. 179
49 o Requires a safety inspection of the ADU prior to recordation of the condominium plan.
o Requires lienholders’ consent prior to recordation of the subdivision map or condominium plan.
o The local agency shall provide notice to consumers regarding requirements, establishment of condominium, and lienholder consent.
o Requires homeowner notice to utilities.
o The owner of a separate interest in an existing planned development must obtain express written authorization from the association.
AB 1332
AB 1332 (Chapter 759, Statutes of 2023) added section 65852.27 to the Government Code to expedite the approval of ADUs and went into effect on January 1, 2024. This bill:
• Requires the local agency to develop a program for the preapproval of ADU plans by January 1, 2025. • Requires the local agency to accept ADU plan submissions for preapproval from any party and approve or deny applications pursuant to standards established in Government Code sections 66314-66342.
• Requires the local agency to post preapproved ADU plans and the contact information of the applicant on the local agency’s internet website. • Allows the local agency to also post plans pre-approved by other local or state agencies.
• Authorizes a local agency to charge a fee to an applicant for the preapproval of an ADU plan.
• Requires a local agency to approve or deny within 30 days an application for a detached ADU that utilizes either a plan preapproved by the local agency or another agency within the state, or a plan that is identical to a plan in a previously approved application for a detached ADU. The plans must be valid within the current triennial California Building Standards Code rulemaking cycle.
AB 434
AB 434 (Chapter 740, Statutes of 2023) modified amended Government Code section 65585, subdivision (j), by adding State ADU Law (Gov. Code, §§ 66310-66342) and SB 9 (Gov. Code, §§ 65852.21, 66411.7), among others, to the list of laws that HCD is authorized to enforce, including HCD’s authority to notify a city, county, city and county, or the Attorney General when the planning agency of a city, county, or city and county fails to comply with those laws. The bill went into effect on January 1, 2024.
AB 345
AB 345 (Chapter 343, Statutes of 2021) built upon recent changes to State ADU Law, to require cities to allow the separate conveyance of ADUs from the primary dwelling in certain 180
50 circumstances, provided they meet certain conditions, including those listed below, found in Government Code section 66341:
• The ADU or primary dwelling was built or developed by a qualified nonprofit (Gov.
Code, § 66341, subd. (a)).
• There is an enforceable restriction on the use of the property between the low-income buyer and nonprofit that satisfies the requirements of Section 402.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code (Gov. Code, § 66341, subd. (b)).
• The entire property is subject to the affordability restrictions to assure that the ADU and primary dwelling are preserved for owner-occupied, low-income housing for 45 years and are sold or resold only to a qualified buyer (Gov. Code, § 66341, subd. (c)). • The property is held in a recorded tenancy in common agreement that meets certain requirements (Gov. Code, § 66341, subd. (c)).
AB 345 does not apply to JADUs, and local ordinances must continue to prohibit JADUs from being sold separately from the primary residence.
AB 3182
AB 3182 (Chapter 198, Statutes of 2020) built upon recent changes to ADU Law, specifically Government Code sections 66310-66342 and Civil Code Sections 4740 and 4741, to further address barriers to the development and use of ADUs and JADUs.
This legislation, among other changes, addressed the following:
• States that an application for the creation of an ADU or JADU shall be deemed approved (not just subject to ministerial approval) if the local agency has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a)). • Requires ministerial approval of an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use zone to create one ADU and one JADU per lot (not one or the other), within the proposed or existing single-family dwelling, if certain conditions are met (Gov.
Code, § 66323, subd. (a)(1)(A)).
• Provides for the rental or leasing of a separate interest ADU or JADU in a common interest development, notwithstanding governing documents that otherwise appear to prohibit renting or leasing of a unit, and without regard to the date of the governing documents (Civ. Code, §§ 4740, subd. (a); 4741, subd. (a)). • Provides that not less than 25 percent of the separate interest units within a common interest development be allowed as rental or leasable units (Civ. Code, § 4741, subd. (b)).
AB 68, AB 881, and SB 13
AB 68 (Chapter 655, Statutes of 2019), AB 881 (Chapter 659, Statutes of 2019), and SB 13 (Chapter 653, Statutes of 2019) built upon recent changes to State ADU and JADU Law and further address barriers to the development of ADUs and JADUs. 181
51 This legislation, among other changes, addresses the following:
• Prohibits local agencies from including in development standards for ADUs requirements on minimum lot size. (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (b)(1)). • Clarifies that areas designated by local agencies for ADUs may be based on the adequacy of water and sewer services, as well as on impacts on traffic flow and public safety (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (a)).
• Eliminates all owner-occupancy requirements by local agencies for ADUs approved between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2025 (Gov. Code, § 66315). • Prohibits a local agency from establishing a maximum size of an ADU of less than 850 square feet, or 1,000 square feet if the ADU contains more than one bedroom and requires approval of a permit to build an ADU of up to 800 square feet (Gov. Code, § 66321, subds. (b)(2), (b)(3)).
• Clarifies that when ADUs are created through the conversion of a garage, carport or covered parking structure, replacement of off-street parking spaces cannot be required by the local agency (Gov. Code, § 66314, subd. (d)(11)). • Reduces the maximum ADU and JADU application review time from 120 days to 60 days (Gov. Code, §§ 66317, subd. (a); 66335, subd. (2)). • Clarifies that “public transit” includes various means of transportation that charge set fees, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (m)).
• Establishes impact fee exemptions and limitations based on the size of the ADU. ADUs up to 750 square feet are exempt from impact fees, and ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger may be charged impact fees but only such fees that are proportional in size (by square foot) to those for the primary dwelling unit (Gov. Code, § 66324, subd. (c)(1)). • Defines an “accessory structure” to mean a structure that is accessory and incidental to a dwelling on the same lot (Gov. Code, § 66313, subd. (b)). • Authorizes HCD to notify the local agency if HCD finds that the local ADU ordinance is not in compliance with state law (Gov. Code, § 66326, subd. (b)(1)). • Clarifies that a local agency may identify an ADU or JADU as an adequate site to satisfy its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) (Gov. Code, § 65583.1, subd. (a)). • Permits JADUs even where a local agency has not adopted an ordinance expressly authorizing them (Gov. Code, § 66320).
• Allows a permitted JADU to be constructed within the walls of the proposed or existing single-family residence and eliminates the required inclusion of an existing bedroom and an interior entry into the single-family residence (Gov. Code, § 66333, subd. (d)). • Requires, upon application and approval, a local agency to delay enforcement against a qualifying substandard ADU for five years to allow the owner to correct the violation, so long as the violation is not a health and safety issue, as determined by the enforcement agency (Gov. Code, § 66331; HSC, § 17980.12).
AB 587, AB 670, and AB 671
In addition to the legislation listed above, AB 587 (Chapter 657, Statutes of 2019), AB 670 (Chapter 178, Statutes of 2019), and AB 671 (Chapter 658, Statutes of 2019) also have an 182
52 impact on State ADU Law, particularly through Health and Safety Code section 17980.12.
These pieces of legislation, among other changes, address the following:
• AB 587 creates a narrow exemption to the prohibition for ADUs to be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the primary dwelling by allowing deed-restricted sales to occur if the local agency adopts an ordinance. To qualify, the primary dwelling and the ADU are to be built by a qualified nonprofit corporation whose mission is to provide units to low-income households. (Gov. Code, § 66340, 66341.)
• AB 670 provides that covenants, conditions, and restrictions that either effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the construction or use of an ADU or JADU on a lot zoned for single-family residential use are void and unenforceable (Civ. Code, § 4751)). • AB 671 requires local agencies’ housing elements to include a plan that incentivizes and promotes the creation of ADUs that can offer affordable rents for very low-, low-, or moderate-income households and requires HCD to develop a list of state grants and financial incentives in connection with the planning, construction, and operation of affordable ADUs (Gov. Code, § 65583; HSC, § 50504.5)).

MEMORANDUM: March 17, 2025
AGENDA DATE: April 8, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Guillermo Mixer, Director of Public Safety
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GREENFIELD AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COUTY OF MONTEREY
REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF FLOCK SAFETY
CAMERAS WITHIN THE COUNTY OF MONTEREY
RIGHT-OF-WAY
BACKGROUND
To improve the city’s ability to monitor and deter criminal activity, staff are proposing an expansion of the city’s existing surveillance camera network. This initiative aims to cover high-traffic corridors and key locations that serve as entry and exit points to and from Greenfield. By capturing critical data on vehicles and individuals moving in and out of the city, the expanded system will significantly enhance investigative capabilities and response times.
ANALYSIS
Placing Flock cameras at strategic locations along city boundaries and major access points will provide real-time data that can assist in identifying suspects, vehicles, and patterns of criminal activity. However, to ensure optimal placement and jurisdictional cooperation, the City must enter an MOU with the County. This agreement will allow for the placement and maintenance of city-owned cameras on county property where necessary.
Benefits include:
• Enhanced Crime Deterrence: Increased visibility and coverage will discourage criminal activity.
189
2 • Improved Investigations: Camera footage will assist law enforcement in identifying suspects, identifying vehicles, and gathering evidence. • Regional Cooperation: The partnership with the County will foster collaboration and improve safety across jurisdictional boundaries.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds from the current city camera budget will be used to expand the Flock cameras, so there will be no impact on the budget. As future expansion continues, then at that time requests for budget modifications will be made.

The intent of this item is to better classify the duties of this position as an analyst in human resources and risk management. The current Executive Assistant to the City Manager job description dedicates 2-3 line items to the description of duties in the areas of human resources and risk management. We propose to change that to be much more detailed in the new job description for the Human Resources and Risk Management Analyst.

Along with assisting the City Manager in managing his/her calendar, appointments, etc., this position would likely assist the City Manager handle additional tasks such as the following:
