TITLE: LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT NO. 1
BACKGROUND:
The City of Greenfield has three Active Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts, which are regulated by the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (commencing with Section 22500) Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. In accordance with this Act, the City Clerk is required to provide public notice of the assessment process at least 10 days prior to the date of hearing. Prior to levying a new assessment pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 22585), the City Council must conduct a public hearing and review the Engineer’s Report which specify the assessment. The Engineer’s Report is available for review at the City Engineer’s Office. The Engineer’s Report is prepared for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected, to pay the costs of the improvements described in the report. After approval of the report, either as filed or as modified, the City Council must adopt a resolution of intention which shall:
(a) Declare the intention of the City to levy and collect assessments within the assessment district for the fiscal year stated therein. (b) Generally describe the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
(c) Refer to the assessment district by its distinctive designation and indicate the general location of the district.
(d) Refer to the report of the engineer, on file with the clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the assessment district and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the district.
(e) Give notice of the time, as fixed by Section 22625, and the place for hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.

30 In accordance with the Act, any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the hearing, file a written protest with the clerk or, having previously filed a protest, may file a written withdrawal of that protest. A written protest shall state all grounds of objection. A protest by a property owner shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by him/her.
If notice is given pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 22626, the City Council shall hold the public hearing pursuant to Section 53753 of the Government. All interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to hear and be heard. The City Council shall consider all oral statements and all written protests made or filed by any interested person. The City Council may continue the hearing from time to time, provided that no continuance shall be made to a date subsequent to August 10 without the prior consent of the county auditor.
During the course or upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including changes in the improvements, any zones within the assessment district, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. If there is a majority protest against the levy of an annual assessment after the formation of the assessment district that is increased from any previous year, the proposed increase in the assessment shall be abandoned.
The assessments shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as county taxes are collected, and all laws providing for the collection and enforcement of county taxes shall apply to the collection and enforcement of the assessments, except that assessments levied pursuant to Section 22660 for which bonds or notes are to be issued may be paid within 30 days after the date the county auditor has entered the assessments on the county assessment roll, upon which time the engineer shall make and file with the treasurer a complete list of all unpaid assessments in the manner required by Section 8620.
PROJECTS FOR 2025-26
1. “Contract Services” (on-going) for maintenance of green spaces in the amount of $117,621, which represents LLMD #1‘s share of these contract services. This corresponds to 14% of the cost of the contract corresponding to 15% of the overall green space maintained. This budget may be used for City Staff and Equipment costs in the event it is determined more cost effective for the City to assume these responsibilities.
2. “Special Purchases Projects & Studies” which is consultant services to develop the scope of work for contract maintenance which is anticipated to be performed in the next, subsequent FY. This amount is $25,644 which would represent LLMD #1‘s share of these services. It is anticipated that any maintenance will be performed in a concurrent, coordinated fashion with LLMDs #2 and #3.
RESERVE SET-ASIDE
The reserves for each of the maintenance assessment districts is calculated and treated very differently than other budget reserve funds in the City. These reserves will accumulate with the intent of replacing the capital improvements so far as is practical in addition to maintenance. The City Engineer maintains a plan which explains the maintenance assumptions and possible reasonable replacement costs.
31 BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Lighting and Landscape Assessment District No. 1 provides services to Lexington Square Area No. 1, Mariposa Subdivision, Vineyard Green Subdivision, Vista Verde Subdivision, and Cambria Park Subdivision. A total of 232 parcels are being levied.
The estimated total levy from District Assessments is increasing by the CIP Index of 2.7% and is expected to be $114,900, the cost for services for fiscal year 2025-26 is estimated at $235,910, with a Reserve “set aside” of $0. Costs are apportioned to the parcels within the district, in proportion to the special benefit each parcel receives as established at the time the district was formed. This proposed budget includes $5745 for the district’s proportional share of internal administrative services, based on the City’s cost allocation model estimate of 5%. The 2025-26 budget can be seen below.
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED:
The proposed 2025-26 budget will provide the same level of service provided in 2024-25 with enhancements as developed through Special Purchases and Project Studies and Contract Services. The City Engineer and Public Works Director recommend approval. 32 POTENTIAL MOTION:

If notice is given pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 22626, the City Council shall hold the public hearing pursuant to Section 53753 of the Government. All interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to hear and be heard. The City Council shall consider all oral statements and all written protests made or filed by any interested person. The City Council may continue the hearing from time to time, provided that no continuance shall be made to a date subsequent to August 10 without the prior consent of the county auditor.
During the course or upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including changes in the improvements, any zones within the assessment district, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment.

TITLE: STREET AND DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT NO. 1
BACKGROUND:
To ensure a flow of funds for the operation, maintenance and servicing of specified improvements within the boundaries of the Street and Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 1, pursuant to the requirements of the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, the City Council, on December 7, 2004, by resolution 2004-88 approved the formation of the Street and Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 1.
In fiscal year 2004-05, pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982, upon request of Creek Bridge Homes, the City initiated proceedings and conducted the required public hearings for the annexation of St. Charles Subdivision into the Street and Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 1. The annexed territories are identified as Zone 4a – St. Charles Place Storm Drain and Street Maintenance (Single Family) and Zone 4b – St. Charles Place Storm Drain and Street Maintenance (Multi-Family and Non-Residential).
On October 18, 2005, the City Council confirmed and adopted the property owner’s approval of improvements, assessment rate and inflationary formula for St Charles Place Zone 4a and Zone 4b.

2. “Special Purchases Projects & Studies” which is consultant services to contribute to pavement maintenance design services and costs to update the special district assessment rolls. Also included is a contingency for “TBD” project efforts. If unspent, the remainder of these funds roll over and become part of the Beginning Reserve Fund Balance for next FY.
This amount is $5,000 which represents SSMD #1‘s proportionate share of these services.
RESERVE SET-ASIDE
The reserves for each of the maintenance assessment districts is calculated and treated very differently than other budget reserve funds in the City. These reserves will accumulate with the intent of replacing the capital improvements so far as is practical in addition to maintenance. The City Engineer maintains a plan which explains the maintenance assumptions and possible reasonable replacement costs.
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated total levy from District Assessments is increasing by the CPI Index of 2.7% and is expected to be $40,775, the cost for services for fiscal year 2025-26 is estimated at $51,453, with a Reserves “set aside” of $0. Costs are apportioned to the parcels within the district, in proportion to the special benefit each parcel receives as established at the time the district was formed. This proposed budget includes $2,040 for the district’s proportional share of internal administrative services, based on the City’s cost allocation model estimate of 5%. The 2025-26 budget can be seen below.
55 Future parcels that may be annexed into the District may receive only storm drain maintenance related benefits and/or street maintenance related benefits. It is anticipated that future annexation parcels will comprise new zones within the District. The benefit assessment is 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.
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED:
The proposed 2025-26 budget will provide the same level of service provided in 2024-25. The City Engineer and Public Works Director recommend approval.

83 A PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GREENFIELD PROCLAIMING APRIL 2025 AS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM): a time to bring attention to the widespread issue of sexual violence and empower communities to take action. This year’s theme, “Together We Act, United We Change,” highlights the power of working together to create safer, more respectful environments for all.
Sexual abuse, assault, and harassment affect individuals of every background. To address this, we must promote education around consent, healthy communication, and bystander intervention. By equipping individuals and communities with these tools, we can help prevent violence before it starts and foster a culture of respect and care.
Central to this campaign is the importance of amplifying the voices of survivors, especially those most vulnerable in our communities. Their experiences must be heard and acknowledged, and their stories should guide our efforts to combat sexual violence in all its forms.
Everyone in our communities deserves to live in safe and supportive environments where they are treated with respect. When our workplaces, schools, and communities work together to uphold safety and respect, we make progress in preventing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.
Statistics show: Most women and men across all sexual identities who experienced contact sexual violence reported that the person who harmed them was someone they knew (Chen, et al., 2023); Over 53% of women and over 29% of men reported experiencing contact sexual violence (Chen, et al., 2023); 1 in 5 male victims reported only male perpetrators, 1 in 2 had only female perpetrators, and about 1 in 6 had both male and female perpetrators (Chen, et al., 2023); More than 1 in 4 non-Hispanic Black women (29%) in the United States were raped in their lifetime (Basile et al., 2022); 1 in 3 Hispanic women (34.8%) reported unwanted sexual contact in their lifetime (Basile et al., 2022); More than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska Native women (84.3%) have experienced violence in their lifetime (Rosay, 2016); 32.9% of adults with intellectual disabilities have experienced sexual violence (Tomsa et al., 2021); 47% of all transgender people have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives (James et al., 2016).
Together, we act; united, we change. By standing in solidarity, we can build a future free from sexual violence and create a world where everyone is safe, valued, and respected.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ROBERT WHITE, Mayor of the City of Greenfield and the City Council do hereby proclaim April 2025 as:
SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of April 2025. ____________________________________

AGENDA DATE: April 18, 2025
MEETING DATE: April 22, 2025
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Attorney
TITLE: ADOPTION 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 (“City”) 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 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 (6) 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 is submitting a revised ADU ordinance for review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and consideration by the City Council.
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 City Council Memorandum
599 El Camino Real Greenfield CA 93937 831-6745591
www.ci.greenfield.ca.us
85 2
of ADUs. Key legislation that has significantly changed ADU law within the last five (5) years includes the following:
• AB 68, AB 881, and SB 13 (2019) – Eliminates minimum lot size, requires ADUs to be at least eight hundred fifty (850) square feet, eliminates impact fees for ADUs under seven hundred fifty (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 sixty (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 HCD 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.
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 86 3
on the item on April 1, 2025. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance to the City Council.
On April 8, 2025, the City Council introduced the proposed, revised ADU ordinance. On same date, the California Housing Defense Fund (“CalHDF”) submitted a letter as a public comment, which raised several concerns regarding the proposed ordinance (“Letter”). The City Council requested an analysis of the letter. The Letter raises ten (10) areas of concerns, most of which are related to state exempt ADUs. As provided in the “Project Review and Analysis” section below, there are four (4) types of ADUs that must be permitted within residential and mixed-use zones, pursuant to state law, i.e., “State Exempt ADUs.” CalHDF requested the inclusion of the individual categories for state exempt ADUs in the proposed ordinance under 17.90.020, subsection (C). After reviewing the Letter, applicable statutes, and the proposed ordinance, we agree that for the sake of clarity and compliance with state law, this change is necessary. As a result, we have further revised the proposed ordinance to include each of the four (4) categories. Since the proposed ordinance already carves out a separate section to address state exempt ADUs and the revisions will provide additional details for each of the state exempt ADUs, CalHDF’s concerns concerning state exempt ADUs will be addressed with the proposed revisions.
The following concerns were raised by CalHDF regarding state exempt ADUs and are addressed by the further revisions made to 17.90.020, subsection (C):
1. Each category of ADUs allowed pursuant to Government Code section 66323 must be included in 17.90.020, subsection (C);
2. The City may not impose size limitations on state exempt ADUs;
3. The City may not regulate building to building separation for state exempt ADUs;
4. The City may not require that state exempt ADUs with a second story be setback five (5) feet from the main wall of the existing primary dwelling unit;
5. The City must also allow ADUs on multifamily parcels pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivisions (a)(3) and (a)(4), regardless of lot coverage and FAR standards, and must allow expansions to existing accessory buildings of one hundred fifty (150) square feet for ingress/egress, if such structures are being converted to ADUs pursuant to Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a)(1);
6. The City may not require parking for state exempt ADUs; and
7. The City may not impose any design requirements on state exempt ADUs.
In addition, CalHDF stated that “Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(2)(B) allows ADUs to be further increased in height by two feet to match the roof pitch of the primary dwelling, provided they are within ½ mile of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor (provided that such transit stop or transit corridor exists in or within ½ mile of the City).” While the incorrect section is cited, Government Code section 66321, subdivision (b)(4)(B) allows an additional two (2) feet in height to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit. As such, section 17.90.020, subsection (H) has been revised to reflect the same. Moreover, 17.90.020, subsection (N) was revised to cite Government Code section 66314, instead of 65852.2.
Lastly, CalHDF stated:
87 4
City code section 17.90.020(F)(1) requires new detached ADUs to obey underlying front setback regulations, with an exception allowed only if an 800 square foot ADU is not otherwise developable on the property. A standard that allows for a front yard ADU only if an 800 square foot ADU cannot otherwise be built on the property is not an objective standard: without further detail in the standard, an applicant cannot know before submitting their application whether the City will consider it impossible to build an 800 square foot ADU elsewhere on the property.
Under state ADU law, only objective standards may be applied to ADUs. (Gov.
Code, § 66314, subd. (b)(1).) Furthermore, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) does not permit any imposition of front setback requirements if the ADUs qualify for the protections of that section of law.
First, as to the claim that section 66323 does not permit any imposition of front setback requirements for state exempt ADUs, the revisions made to the carve out, in the proposed ordinance for state exempt ADUs, addresses these concerns. Second, with regards to the claim that the language in 17.90.020(F)(1) does not provide an objective standard, we disagree. In its guidance regarding ADUs, HCD stated:
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).)
Section 17.90.020, subsection (F)(1) of the proposed ordinance states: “Front Yard. The minimum front yard setback shall conform to the requirements of the zoning district which governs the property, except where necessary to allow a minimum 800 square foot ADU with side and rear yard setbacks as defined below.” The objective standard for front yard setbacks included in the proposed ordinance is conformity to the requirements of the zoning district which governs the property, with the provided exception. No personal or subjective judgment is required to make this determination. As such, no additional revisions were made to this section of the proposed ordinance.
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 (4) types of ADUs that must be permitted within residential and mixeduse 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 (2) detached ADUs on a lot that 88 5
has a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight (8) 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 (4) 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 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.
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed project will not result in any immediate financial impacts to the City. 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 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, prezoning, 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 moderate91 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.
INTRODUCED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Greenfield on the 8th day of April, 2025.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Greenfield at a regularly scheduled meeting, held on the ___ day of ______ 2025, by the following vote:
AYES, and all in favor, therefore, Councilmembers:

shall be issued. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Code, the issuance of a ministerial ADU permit is not appealable.
B. Discretionary Review as Alternative to Ministerial Approval.
1. As an alterna�ve to ministerial review, an applicant may submit an applica�on for discre�onary review of an ADU proposal that is not in full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
2. The applica�on for discre�onary approval shall be granted if the Planning Director finds each of the following:
a. The proposed ADU is consistent with all applicable objec�ve design standards; b. The proposed ADU would not result in a nega�ve privacy impact on an abu�ng residen�al lot; and
c. The proposed ADU would not result in a nega�ve impact to public health, safety, or welfare.
d. The proposed ADU, when detached and exceeding the height limit, should provide at least one addi�onal off-street parking space.
3. The decision of the Planning Director shall not preclude the ability of an applicant to receive a ministerial permit pursuant to sec�on 17.90.050, subdivision (B)(1) for an ADU that is in full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
4. The decision of the Planning Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission, and the decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council.
17.90.060 Prohibi�on on Sale and Limita�on on Rental
A. Neither an ADU nor JADU shall be sold separately from the primary residence. However, an ADU may be sold separately or conveyed pursuant to Government Code sec�on 66341, and, if and when, the City adopts a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU or units as condominiums pursuant to Government Code sec�on 66342.
B. If an ADU or JADU is rented, the unit shall not be rented for a period of less than thirty (30) consecu�ve calendar days.
17.47.070 Defini�ons
Accessory dwelling unit (ADU) shall have the same meaning as defined under sec�on 66313 of the Government Code and shall mean an atached or detached residen�al dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facili�es for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or exis�ng primary residence. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, ea�ng, cooking, and sanita�on on the same parcel as the single-family dwelling. An ADU also includes an efficiency unit and a manufactured home, provided it is built on a 102
permanent founda�on. An ADU may be located within an exis�ng atached or detached garage, shed, barn, or any other accessory structure.

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.

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 119
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 126
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 127
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)).
128
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 129
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).
• Livable Space. 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).
• Uncovered Parking. Specifies that uncovered, off-street parking spaces demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU do not need to be replaced. • Detached ADUs. 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.

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 131
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.

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.

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 135
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).) 136
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.
137
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)). 138
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.
139
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.
For more information, please refer to the Housing Element Building Blocks or contact [email protected].
140
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 141
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)). 142
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).) 143
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).
144
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.

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).
145
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)). 146
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 147
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 148
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, 149
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 150
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)).
151
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).
152
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 153
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)).
154
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. 155
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, §§ 156
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. 157
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).) 158
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. 159
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. 161
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 162
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. 163
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 164
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)).

TITLE: A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING MAGNOLIA SR. APARTMENTS
PHASE II PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE
STREETS, STREET LIGHTS, SIDEWALKS, STORM DRAINS,
AND ASSOCIATED PARKWAY LANDSCAPING
BACKGROUND
The Magnolia Sr. Apartments Phase II project was approved as a development by Planning Commission on April 4, 2022 by Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-01. The developer, TPC Housing has subsequently constructed public improvements as shown on the approved permit plans and in accordance with approved Civil and Public Improvement Permit Plans. A Development Bond was approved and accepted by the City for these improvements. At the request of the City, the developer annexed this subdivision to the Streets and Storm Drain Maintenance Assessment District No. 3, and Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance Assessment District No. 3. The subdivision has successfully completed the Proposition 218 compliant vote and is now part of these special districts.
ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
The Magnolia Sr. Apartments Phase II project includes the following new 12th Street improvements including pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk, streetlights, signage and striping:
1. ½ street width + 10’ pavement the full length of the project frontage.
2. Sidewalks, curb, gutter and driveways along the full length of the project frontage with associated landscaping.
3. Installation of two streetlights in front of Phase II. 168
4. Storm drain improvements extending from their frontage to the approximate center of the Phase I project to the south, storm drain basin with associated parkway landscaping.
The City Engineer has inspected all improvements and is satisfied that they have been completed in a professional manner and are in excellent condition. TPC Housing has posted a Bond that will be released by the City Engineer in conjunction with this acceptance. A warrantee bond will be required that protects the City in the event that a flaw or failure is identified in the first year following acceptance.
All public improvements will be accepted for maintenance by the City and funded through Special maintenance Assessment District No, 3 assessments.
BUDGET AND FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Currently, there are no budget or financial impacts associated with approval of this proposed Resolution. Future costs for maintenance of these public improvements will be borne by the Maintenance Assessment Districts. Staff and consultant costs in the completion of the acceptance of easements and improvements costs and fees are being borne by the developer.
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED:
Staff have reviewed, and the City Manager and Public Works Director recommend The City accept Magnolia Sr. Apartments Phase II project public improvements, which improvements include streets, sidewalks, storm drains, and associated parkway landscaping.
