known as Reorganization 2014-03 to the City of Calabasas and the City of Hidden Hills, Detachment from County Road District No. 3, Withdrawal from County Lighting Maintenance District No. 1687, Withdrawal from the Los Angeles County Library, and approving an Agreement for Sharing City Sales Tax Revenues pursuant to Reorganization 2014-03; and 2) Approve an Agreement between City of Calabasas and City of Hidden Hills for Specified Property Tax Revenue Sharing for Reorganization No. 2014-03; and 3) Direct and Delegate the Authority to the City Manager to make minor revisions and to execute the final Resolution and agreements for the Craftsman’s Corner Annexation upon approval by counterparties.
Interim City Attorney Jenkins presented the following report:
This staff report outlines the final steps of a decade-long process to annex property known as Craftsman Corner, located between Calabasas and Hidden Hills, from unincorporated Los Angeles County to the two cities. The annexation was initiated in 2014 through an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the body responsible for overseeing changes in local government boundaries. The annexation will add a total of 176 acres to the two cities, with 164 acres going to Calabasas and 12 acres to Hidden Hills. Of the 12 acres being annexed to Hidden Hills, four acres are developed with three single-family homes, while the remainder is open space. These three homes, located behind gates, will now be included within Hidden Hills' city boundaries.
The report asks for the approval of two key items: 1) A Joint Resolution, which is a technical resolution that involves several government agencies and ensures the proper adjustment of county and other local taxing authorities, which must now tax the annexed areas as part of the respective cities rather than as unincorporated county land; and 2) An Agreement between Calabasas and Hidden Hills - Calabasas has agreed to share 25% of the property tax revenue from the 164 acres annexed to Calabasas with Hidden Hills. This share will be allocated to Hidden Hills for municipal purposes, providing a financial benefit to the city. These actions will facilitate the completion of the annexation process, with LAFCO’s final approval pending once the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopts the resolution. The City of Hidden Hills will also gain jurisdiction over the newly annexed 12 acres, allowing the city to control zoning and development on the land.
Resident Mathy Wasserman asked a few questions regarding the annexation of additional acreage into Hidden Hills, particularly in relation to undeveloped areas. First, aside from the land at the end of Oakfield, she asked where is the remaining annexed acreage located within the Hidden Hills boundaries? She also asked how will this land be secured or integrated into the current community? Additionally, will the new homes in these annexed areas be included in the Hidden Hills HOA, or will they be excluded, as we’ve seen with some homes near the front gate in the past? She also understands that only three homes have been developed so far on the 12 acres within Hidden Hills—are these homes part of the HOA, and what are the plans for the remaining undeveloped land? Finally, she’d like to know who owns the hillside area—is it city-owned, or is it privately owned, and if the latter, who holds ownership?
City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
Interim City Attorney Jenkins confirmed that the newly annexed land falls under the community's CC&Rs, even though it's situated outside the city limits. This creates an unusual situation, as the land is part of the Hidden Hills Association’s jurisdiction despite not being officially within city boundaries. The remaining uninhabited acreage consists of a single 8-acre parcel located immediately southeast of Bridle Trail Road and southwest of Lasher Road. The exact location isn’t perfectly clear, but it’s generally described as a narrow, hillside area often referred to as "the finger." This topography suggests it’s primarily a slope or ridge, which may impact its development potential or usage within the community. City officials, including the City Manager and City Engineer, have confirmed that they have visited the site, but even they appear to have limited precise knowledge of the area’s exact coordinates. The hillside parcel was formerly owned by Mike Ashley, though current ownership is thought to have possibly transferred to someone named Ronen Nahum. However, this ownership is still somewhat uncertain among officials.
Resident Bret Katz raised a question regarding the impact of this annexation on any prior agreements. He expressed uncertainty, acknowledging the existence of previous agreements that had been reached and possibly voted upon. His curiosity centers on how this newly annexed land, and its inclusion under the CC&Rs, might affect or interact with those earlier arrangements.
Interim City Attorney Jenkins addressed Mr. Katz's question by seeking clarification on which prior agreements he was referring to. Mr. Jenkins mentioned that there were indeed agreements made between Hidden Hills and Calabasas related to annexation, but he emphasized that the current annexation process is simply a continuation of those earlier steps. He also noted that the initial agreement, dating back to around 2014, outlined the terms of the annexation. While the City Council had voted on and passed the agreement, it didn’t immediately result in formal annexation because it required additional approvals and processing by other entities, specifically LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) and the City of Calabasas, before it could return to Hidden Hills in its final form. Now, this final version of the agreement has returned, and Mr. Jenkins reassured Mr. Katz that the terms of this agreement closely mirror those initially established in 2014. If anything, the original agreement's terms are effectively preserved, though they are now in a finalized format. Mr. Jenkins concluded by mentioning that Mr. Katz likely has access to the complete history of the process if he needs additional clarification.
Council Member McCorkindale thanked everyone for their work on the annexation and shared her excitement about the Craftsman’s Corner project, saying it’s a great addition for the area. She gave acknowledgment to Calabasas for the revenue-sharing deal and to former Council Member Stuart Siegel, who put in years of effort to make this happen. She mentioned that Calabasas has actually wanted to annex Craftsman’s Corner for almost 30 years, with some added delays due to COVID, so it’s nice to see it finally moving forward.
Upon MOTION by Council Member Wasserman, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Weber and unanimously carried on a roll call vote, the City Council resolved to approve and adopt the joint resolution, approve the agreement with the City of Calabasas for the property tax sharing exchange and to authorize the Mayor to sign both on behalf of the city.

Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
B. Library Services Agreement with Calabasas
Interim City Attorney Jenkins presented a staff report recommending approval of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Calabasas to extend shared library services. He explained that since 2013, Hidden Hills has partnered with Calabasas on library resources, allowing Hidden Hills residents to access Calabasas Library services in exchange for dedicated property tax revenue. This partnership was governed by two successive five-year MOUs, with the latest expiring in mid-2023. The proposed MOU, already approved by Calabasas, would renew this arrangement. Hidden Hills residents will continue to access the Calabasas Library as local patrons, and Calabasas residents will gain access to any future library services developed by Hidden Hills. Calabasas has also agreed to return $538,850 in unspent library-dedicated funds to Hidden Hills, which will be reserved for future library initiatives. Mr. Jenkins highlighted the MOU as a practical example of intercity collaboration, emphasizing its benefits in optimizing resources and maintaining a positive regional relationship. He then opened the floor for council questions.
Council Member Wasserman sought clarification, asking if the MOU ensures that all Calabasas Library services will be available indefinitely to Hidden Hills residents, without any restrictions, as long as the library exists. He also confirmed that this agreement includes a $538,000 refund to Hidden Hills and questioned if any limitations apply to residents' access to library services, to which Mr. Jenkins confirmed that Council Member Wasserman was correct.
Council Member McCorkindale also wanted to confirm that the MOU includes free book transfers and access to study rooms, just like Calabasas residents get. She pointed out that on page 3 of the MOU, it lists all the services Hidden Hills residents will have access to, like library cards, online catalogs, interlibrary loans, study rooms, and library events. She hoped this would help clear things up for everyone.
Resident Mathy Wasserman asked if the City Council would consider reinstating a library commissioner to continue the role of connecting Hidden Hills with Calabasas' library, ensuring that communication remains open, healthy, and engaging between the two cities.
Council Member McCorkindale expressed her thanks to Calabasas City Manager Kinden for being great to work with, as well as to Mayor Weintraub and the Calabasas City Council. She recognized the patience of everyone involved and hoped it had paid off now that library services are secured. Ms. McCorkindale also suggested to Mayor Gold that, given the confusion and rumors surrounding the project, a letter be sent to all Hidden Hills residents once the resolution is approved. The letter would help explain the details and clear up any misunderstandings, keeping everyone informed.
Mayor Gold warmly reflected on the long journey to finalize the library services agreement, expressing gratitude for reaching this milestone. She thanked Library Committee Member Joe Loggia, the entire council, and both cities’ staff for their dedication and hard work. Mayor Gold celebrated the MOU as a testament to the strong partnership between Hidden Hills and Calabasas, describing it as a “Yin-Yang” relationship where Calabasas provides a physical library and Hidden Hills brings a digital component. She called this collaboration a wonderful achievement that embodies the best of resource-sharing and serves both communities beautifully.

October 15, 2024
Upon MOTION by Council Member Wasserman, seconded by Council Member Loggia, and carried unanimously on a roll call vote, the City Council resolved to approve the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Calabasas and Hidden Hills for reciprocal library access. The resolution also authorizes the Mayor to execute the MOU on behalf of Hidden Hills and directs staff to prepare and mail a letter to residents explaining the MOU's impact and the library service benefits it provides.
C. Receive and File the 2024 Fiesta Report - THIS ITEM HAS MOVED TO END OF MEETING
6. PRESENTATIONS
A. Spectrum/Charter
Interim City Manager Molleda introduced Howard Pointer from Spectrum Charter, sharing the city’s ongoing efforts to improve internet services for residents. Earlier this year, the Council declined a previous bid due to a sharp rise in fiber costs post-pandemic and challenges in securing necessary easements. Meanwhile, residents have reported better service quality thanks to Spectrum’s recent upgrades. Since then, the Council has focused on partnering with Spectrum, whose executives are now exploring an opportunity to make Hidden Hills the first community to implement a direct residential fiber project, which could simplify access and reduce costs. Additionally, Spectrum has proposed a “high split” fiber-like solution, a future-proofing option that requires no city funding and is already being rolled out nationwide. Mr. Pointer will elaborate on these possibilities tonight, providing foundational insights to prepare the Council for an upcoming study session on all available options.
Mr. Pointer, Spectrum's Area Vice President, introduced himself and his team, noting that Spectrum had previously not participated in Hidden Hills' fiber project due to timing but is now presenting two options for faster internet. The first option, "fiber to the home," provides symmetrical speeds of 1 gigabyte up and down, though it comes with a significant build-out cost. The second, "high split" technology, upgrades existing hybrid fiber coax cables to deliver similar speeds with no cost to the association and minimal disruption to residents, but it won’t be available until 2026. Mr. Pointer also clarified that current residents could opt for an enterprise fiber circuit offering speeds from 1 to 100 gigabytes. Regarding pricing, Pointer explained that in areas where high split technology is already offered, the pricing for speed tiers remains the same as if customers had chosen the 1 gig symmetrical fiber to the home option.
Mr. Pointer discussed the high split and direct fiber options for Hidden Hills, confirming that high split is expected to begin in 2026, with no cost to the city and no change in resident pricing. While direct fiber would require extensive street boring and trenching, taking up to 7 months, high split would use existing infrastructure, causing minimal disruption. Both options would provide similar one gig symmetrical speeds, with the main difference being the infrastructure type. He also reassured the council that both systems would be equally reliable, with high split functioning similarly to fiber, though both would be impacted during an outage.
City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
During the discussion, Mr. Pointer was asked about the cost of implementing direct fiber to the home, which he estimated to be between $2.8 and $3 million. An inquiry about the reliability differences between high split and direct fiber was mentioned, and Mr. Pointer confirmed there would be no noticeable difference in reliability. Regarding the timing of the high split project, he mentioned that work in Hidden Hills is tentatively set to start in April 2026 and run through November 2026, potentially extending into the first quarter of 2027.
He was also asked about the complications if Hidden Hills switched from high split to direct fiber later. Mr.
Pointer acknowledged this as a valid concern and promised to conduct further research, as it may involve challenges in transitioning from one system to the other.
During the discussion, a resident asked about the trenching needed for fiber installation, particularly in areas like Eldorado Meadow and the "Zuckerman Tract". Mr. Pointer explained that while there might be minimal trenching, it would only occur in places where underground boring isn’t feasible due to other utilities. He emphasized that Spectrum is using existing rights of way to minimize disruption. The resident also asked about speeds with high split technology, and Mr. Pointer confirmed it would offer one gig symmetrical speeds, similar to fiber to the home, with potential future speeds up to 10 gig symmetrical. Finally, the resident inquired about network redundancy, and he assured that redundancy is built into the system, with updates to prevent past issues like service outages during the Woolsey fires.
During the meeting, a Mr. Pointer was asked three questions about high split technology. First, if upgrading or replacing equipment would incur additional costs. Mr. Pointer confirmed there would be no charge for the upgrade, as Spectrum would swap the equipment at no cost, but there would be a fee for higher speed packages like one gig symmetrical. Second, he was asked if upstream and downstream speeds would be guaranteed, regardless of simultaneous users. Mr. Pointer explained that while simultaneous users wouldn't significantly affect speeds, results may vary based on the devices used for testing. Lastly, he was asked if routers or switches could impact speeds, to which Mr. Pointer confirmed that outdated equipment could limit performance, and keeping devices updated is crucial for optimal speeds.
B. Southern California Edison – Grid Hardening Update
Tiffeny Heppel from Southern California Edison (SCE) outlined an ongoing infrastructure project in Hidden Hills, which involves replacing power lines with covered conductors, installing new poles, and upgrading equipment across 9 miles. Work begins on October 17th, starting with Kit Carson, John Fremont, and Jed Smith Roads. To minimize outages, generators will be installed at each transformer pole, with two scheduled outages: October 18th for generator installation and October 28th for line re-energizing. The project is planned in phases, with 6 of 20 segments expected to be completed by December. Covered conductors will improve reliability by preventing outages caused by hazards like animals and falling branches, and reduce the likelihood of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).
A concern raised by about the impact on residents with underground utilities. Ms. Heppel clarified that while underground sections are not directly affected by the covered conductor installation, they may still experience outages as the overhead lines supply power to these underground circuits. Notifications will need to be sent to residents in these areas to inform them of potential disruptions.
City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
Additionally, there was an inquiry about possible conflicts between personal backup generators and SCE's planned generators. Ms. Heppel explained that the new generators installed by SCE will be sufficient to power the affected areas, so personal generators should not be necessary. However, it was acknowledged that residents with automatic generators may need to manually turn them off during the outage. SCE will verify whether manual intervention will be required, though SCE’s generators will automatically shut off once power is restored, assuming system balance is maintained.
In summary, this infrastructure improvement project aims to enhance the reliability of the power system, reduce disruptions caused by wildlife and environmental factors, and minimize the need for emergency power shutoffs.
Ms. Tiffeny Heppel noted that while the use of generators to minimize outages is a strategy being applied to this community, similar approaches have been used in other cities as well. The choice to deploy generators in Hidden Hills is due to the size and structure of the community, which makes it easier to manage the work in smaller, controlled segments. This approach aims to limit disruptions and prevent multiple outages during the construction process. Additionally, Southern California Edison (SCE) will handle all notifications to residents about when they will be impacted by outages, not the city. SCE will send out notifications with the dates and estimated times of outages to ensure residents are informed.
Resident Gabe Nussbaum from Kit Carson Road raised several concerns about the infrastructure project and Southern California Edison (SCE) work in Hidden Hills, such as the following: 1) why residents were caught off guard by crews digging around poles for new guy wires, asking for better communication; 2) how many poles are in Hidden Hills, which was confirmed around 411, and SCE stated both primary and secondary poles are included in the count. Any poles needing replacement, regardless of type, will be swapped out; 3) if poles not being replaced would be treated for fire resistance. SCE clarified that non-replaced secondary poles wouldn’t get fire-resistant treatment, as the secondary conductor is already covered. It was confirmed that new poles would be composite, which are fire-resistant; 4) if the existing conductor would be upsized. SCE confirmed that while the conductor will be covered, its size won’t change; 6) Mr. Nussbaum expressed concern about Tesla Power walls interfering with backup generators. Ms. Heppel acknowledged the issue and suggested coordination with construction crews and guidance on managing interactions between SCE’s generators and Power walls; 7) and finally Mr. Nussbaum asked if the Wildfire Mitigation Program started in 2018 and if the upgrades were part of that initiative. Ms. Heppel confirmed the program began in 2018 but couldn’t elaborate further in the meeting.
To keep the meeting moving, Mayor Gold suggested that Resident Gabe Nussbaum save his remaining questions for after the meeting, where he could go over them in detail with Edison reps Tiffeny Heppel and Tony Martinelli.
B. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Report - August The August security report was all zeros, including trespassing incidents. Deputy Baldi stated that he enjoyed working Fiesta and is excited for Halloween, looking forward to costumes and decorations. The City Council thanked them for staying through the meeting and suggested moving them up on the agenda next time.

C. Community Brigade and Home Ignition Zone Assessments from the Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Foundation (LAEPF)
Brent Woodworth presented a PowerPoint covering key efforts to bolster community wildfire resilience, highlighting the need to adapt to ongoing fire threats. He referenced the Woolsey Fire’s devastating impact, which inspired new strategies like the home ignition zone assessments and explained how insurance costs and long rebuild times create extra challenges. With over five years of collaboration between community leaders and the LA County Fire Department, Mr. Woodworth described the launch of community brigades in seven high-risk communities, including Hidden Hills, which Chief Maroney personally selected due to its high fire risk. This pilot, the first of its kind in the U.S., unites residents and fire professionals to enhance both fire prevention and response.
Keegan Gibbs and Drew Smith echoed the importance of local engagement, emphasizing home hardening, neighborhood accountability, and using existing community networks to spread emergency alerts. Smith noted the program’s success as a “force multiplier” for fire readiness.
Mr. Woodworth concluded by encouraging residents to take advantage of free home assessments, which identify fire risks around homes, and urged more Hidden Hills volunteers to join the community brigade to boost resilience. Recruitment strategies were discussed for the Community Brigade, pointing out a resident and CERT member Lucia Jacobson, who had joined the brigade. Mr. Gibbs, representing the brigade, replied that their most effective recruitment stems from the personal impact of wildfire. Many members have either lost homes themselves or have close friends and family who experienced loss during events like the Woolsey Fire. Neighbor-to-neighbor outreach and community meetings have been powerful methods, especially in Malibu, where they have greater visibility. In Hidden Hills, they’re seeking to connect with residents who are deeply rooted in the area, those likely to remain long-term and become strong advocates for resilience. City Hall suggested inviting brigade members to an HOA meeting, which could draw 50-60 residents—a promising outreach opportunity.

ITEM C - FIESTA REPORT - MOVED FROM EARLIER IN THE MEETING
Administrative Analyst Williams shared an update on the recent annual fiesta, noting it was a great success, with higher survey responses this year than in the previous two. Over 90% of respondents attended at least one event, and the overall feedback was very positive, with useful suggestions for improvement. Right after the fiesta, staff conducted a thorough review to ensure they can replicate successes and focus on areas for enhancement to make Fiesta 2025 even better. City Hall also announced that, for those who prefer an October fiesta, the city has secured dates for the next three years: October 18-19, 2025; October 17-18, 2026; and October 16-17, 2027.

Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
Council Member McCorkindale reviewed the survey results from this year's fiesta and proposed several improvements for Fiesta 2025. She suggested increasing parade diversity and addressing flow issues, exploring new food options by changing the caterer, and eliminating the requirement for advance registration for contests. She also recommended addressing arena dust, improving the pancake breakfast experience, and prohibiting commercial advertising on floats. Additionally, she advocated for better communication with dignitaries, sending event dates earlier, updating outdated banners, and offering non-dairy milk options at the coffee stand. Overall, she emphasized the importance of better organization, earlier planning, and responding to community feedback to make the next fiesta even more successful.
Gratitude was expressed toward all the volunteers and staff who worked hard to make Fiesta a success. It was emphasized how lucky the community is to have such events and acknowledged that while feedback is always welcomed, it should be seen as an opportunity for improvement, not complaints. The focus is on striving for excellence and being responsive to the community's needs, while acknowledging that perfection is impossible. Appreciation was reiterated for the volunteers and staff and looks forward to continuing to make Fiesta better each year.
Mayor Pro Tem Weber noted that staff had been proactive this year by holding a debrief with Covered 6 and other committee members, gathering valuable feedback to improve future events. The goal is to create a more organized plan based on these insights. Mayor Pro Tem Weber also mentioned the issues with the event date this year, with difficulties securing rides and scheduling conflicts with holidays of various faiths. There was a suggestion to move Fiesta to November, but after a protest, the best available option was to keep it in midSeptember to avoid the complications that would arise from a later November date, especially after Halloween.
Mayor Gold thanked Council Member McCorkindale for emphasizing diverse dietary needs and supported the idea of upgrading food offerings. She also praised the city’s addition of handicapped parking and the successful implementation of connectivity for Fiesta, ensuring everyone had access. She agreed with feedback about improving prizes, adding more rides for younger children, and bringing back the popular slide. She also suggested including more animals in the parade, like horses and carriages, and proposed a new event, such as a charity poker or bingo tournament. She concluded by thanking the volunteers and staff for their hard work and the success of the event.

The balance in the Deposit Accounts can be withdrawn on your order and the proceeds returned to your brokerage Account or remitted to you as provided in your Account Agreement.

For the Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features, interest accrues daily from the 16th day of the prior month and is credited/posted on the first business day after the 15th of the current month. If, on any given day, the interest that Schwab calculates for the Free Credit Balances in the Schwab One Interest feature in your brokerage Account is less than $.005, you will not accrue any interest on that day. For balances held at banks affiliated with Schwab in the Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features, interest will accrue even if the amount is less than $.005. Margin Account Customers:

DATE: November 12, 2024
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR FILING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION AND OTHER RELATED ACTIONS FOR THE LONG VALLEY PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PHASE 1)
BACKGROUND
On November 1, 2015 the City of Hidden Hills entered into a funding agreement with Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to fund improvements on Valley Circle Boulevard and Long Valley Road at the US 101 northbound on-ramp and at the City of Hidden Hills’ Long Valley entrance. Funding is from the County of Los Angeles’ Measure R and Measure M traffic funds.
Project improvements include a parking lot at the newly City purchased lot just outside the Long Valley Road security gate (Phase 1) and a sidewalk on Valley Circle Boulevard and Long Valley Road, from Ventura Boulevard to the Long Valley Road security gate, including a turn out lane for Hidden Hills traffic on the Long Valley onramp (Phase 2).
On August 28, 2023 the City Council awarded a contract to C.S. Legacy in the amount of $1,809,750.86 to construct the Long Valley Road Parking Lot Improvement Project. In addition, the City Council has authorized staff a 20% contingency for unforeseen costs. Total amount authorized for this project, including contingencies, is $2,171,701.03.
DISCUSSION
The construction commenced in October 2023 and, with the exception of 3 pilaster light fixtures, was completed in October 2024. During the construction, one of the HHCA pilaster light fixtures, that was to have been saved and relocated to a new pilaster, disappeared from the site before it could be reinstalled.
A replacement fixture of the same type is unavailable. The contractor provided alternative samples to the HHCA. The samples were unacceptable to the HHCA. The HHCA further stated that this fixture was a matching set with 2 other fixtures. As such, they require that all 3 fixtures be replaced to match. The HHCA will be meeting on 11/12/24 to select the replacement fixtures. City staff will withhold sufficient retention from the contractor until fixtures are installed.
Approval for Filing the Notice of Completion for The Long Valley Road Parking Lot Improvement Project
There were unforeseen circumstances encountered during construction which resulted in extra costs to C.S. Legacy. These Items are listed below:
Item Description Total
Down time due to needing to redesign and
shift storm drain to align with catch basin.
$5,594.58
Additional digging for new storm drain path
due to unmarked utility lines
$4,271.48
Demolishing and rebuilding catch basin to
match elevation of new storm drain line
$14,430.38
Delays due to undocumented utility lines
(gas/water/electric)
$7,834.35
Removal of buried tree stump. $1,844.26
Removal of unknown petromat
contaminated asphalt
$8,711.25
New gate post to replace old, corroded
gate
$1,138.27
Color to sidewalk to match new concrete $905.97
Additional conduit and wire for irrigation
control
$2004.14
Core to help drain tree $411.58
Additional base material $6,666.66
Additional asphalt $8,981.16
Replace damaged pavers $3,304.49
Total $66,098.57
Staff has reviewed these requested extras and has determined that they were due to unforeseen circumstances and are appropriate. The total costs for this project, included all extras, is $1,875,849.43, which is below the authorized $2,171,701.03.
At this time, it would be appropriate for the City Council to: accept the project as complete, with the exception of the pilaster light fixture noted above; direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion; and, authorize release of the retention after the 35 day lien period. Filing the Notice of Completion will also initiate the required 90-day maintenance period. Per the contract, $22,677.51 will be retained to guarantee landscape maintenance by the contractor during this 90 day period. As such, staff will hold back sufficient amount of retainer to cover the 90 day maintenance period and light fixtures (costs to be determined following HHCA selection) until completed.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval for Filing the Notice of Completion for The Long Valley Road Parking Lot Improvement Project
This project was paid for by the Measure R funds. No City money was required.
RECOMMENDATION
It would be staff’s recommendation that the City Council
1. Accept the project as complete, with the exception of the pilaster light fixtures noted above;
2. Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion;
3. Authorize release of the retention after the 35 day lien period, less $22,677 which will be retained though the 90-day maintenance period, and less the cost of HHCA’s 3 replacement light fixtures (cost to be determined by staff) until completed.
If the Council concurs, an appropriate motion would be, “I move to:
1. Accept the project as complete, with the exception of the pilaster light fixtures noted above;
2. Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion;
3. Authorize release of the retention after the 35 day lien period, less $22,677 which will be retained though the 90-day maintenance period, and less the cost of the HHCA’s 3 replacement light fixtures (cost to be determined by staff) until completed.”

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 391 AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND
DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO COMPLY
WITH RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC
RESOURCES CODE
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In 2024, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, two new bills — AB 2533 and SB 1211 — that further amend state ADU law.
DISCUSSION
AB 2533 – Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs
Subject to limited exceptions, existing state law prohibits a city from denying a permit to legalize an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the denial is based on the ADU not complying with applicable building, state or local ADU standards. One exception allows a city to deny a permit to legalize if the city makes a written finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure.
AB 2533 changes this by: (1) expanding the above prohibition to also include JADUs; (2) moving the construction-cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; and (3) replacing the above exception with a requirement that local agencies find that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the Item No. 7A
Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes in State Law Regarding ADUs
standards specified in Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 (Substandard Buildings). (See amended Gov.
Code, § 66332(a)–(f).)
SB 1211 – Replacement Parking Requirements; Multifamily ADUs Replacement Parking
Existing state law prohibits the City from requiring off-street parking spaces to be replaced when a garage, carport or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or conversion to, an ADU.
SB 1211 amends this prohibition to now also prohibit a city from requiring replacement parking when an uncovered parking space is demolished for or replaced with an ADU. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66314(d)(11).)
Multifamily ADUs
SB 1211 further defines livable space in connection with converted ADUs inside a multifamily dwelling structure. Existing state law requires the City to ministerially approve qualifying building-permit applications for ADUs within “portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages ….” The term “livable space” is not defined by existing state ADU law.
SB 1211 changes this by adding a new definition: “‘Livable space’ means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.” (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(e).)
SB 1211 also increases the number of detached ADUs that lots with an existing multifamily dwelling can have. Existing state law allows a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling to have up to two detached ADUs.
Under SB 1211, a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling can have up to eight detached ADUs, or as many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4)(A)(ii).) SB 1211 does not alter the number of ADUs that a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling can have — the limit remains at two. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4).) Both AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect January 1, 2025. If the City’s ADU ordinance does not comply with requirements of both bills by that date, the City’s entire existing ADU ordinance becomes null and void as a matter of law, and the City will have to allow ADUs with no regulation except for the few requirements in the state ADU law itself. The approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on these default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, and architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety.
The proposed ordinance is an urgency measure, which means it will take immediate effect upon adoption.
Typically, an ordinance affecting planning and zoning is approved by the Council after a planning-agency Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes in State Law Regarding ADUs
recommendation, a first reading and introduction before the Council and then a second reading at a regular Council meeting — with the ordinance taking effect 30 days following adoption. But here it is necessary for the City Council to adopt this ordinance as an urgency measure because AB 2533 and SB 1211 will take effect on January 1, 2025, before a non-urgency adoption would take effect. The urgency ordinance will be followed at the earliest possible time by a non-urgency ordinance subject to all normal procedures.
For the above reasons, staffs recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 (Attachment 1), which will ensure that the City’s ADU ordinance remains valid when AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect on January 1, 2025. Adoption of an urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 majority vote.
Environmental Review
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 66313. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed urgency ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City of Hidden Hills.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
A. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 is statuorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
B. Waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 391 entitled: “AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO
COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE.” If the Council concurs, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move that the City Council:
A. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
B. Waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 391 entitled: “AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes in State Law Regarding ADUs
(LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO

WHEREAS, the City of Hidden Hills, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, state law authorizes cities to act by ordinance to provide for the creation and regulation of accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) and junior accessory dwelling units (“JADUs”); and WHEREAS, in recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, numerous bills that, among other things, amend various sections of the Government Code to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs; and WHEREAS, in 2024, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, Assembly Bill 2533 (“AB 2533”) and Senate Bill 1211 (“SB 1211”), which further amend state ADU law; and WHEREAS, AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect January 1, 2025, and if the City’s ADU ordinance does not comply with the requirements imposed by those bills by that date, the City’s entire existing ADU ordinance becomes null and void as a matter of law; and WHEREAS, the City desires to amend its local regulatory scheme for the construction of ADUs and JADUs to reflect AB 2533’s and SB 1211’s changes to state law; and WHEREAS, there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare based on the passage of AB 2533 and SB 1211 because if the City’s ordinance does not comply with this legislation by January 1, 2025 — and the City’s ADU ordinance becomes null and void — the City would thereafter be required to approve ADUs and JADUs in accordance with the few default standards that are provided in Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is the state ADU law; and WHEREAS, the approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, and architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety. These threats to public safety, health, and welfare justify adoption of this Ordinance as an urgency ordinance to be effective immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, the City Council may adopt this Ordinance as an urgency measure in accordance with Government Code section 36937, subdivision (b). -2-

C. Process and Timing.
1. An ADU permit is considered and approved ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing.
2. The city must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the city receives a completed application. If the city has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days, the application is deemed approved unless either:
(a) The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay, or 65544.00401\42909308.2 5
(b) When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.
3. If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Notice of the denial and corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the 60- day time period established by subsection 5-2P-4:C.2 above.
4. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.
5-2P-5: GENERAL ADU AND JADU REQUIREMENTS.
The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under subsections 5-2P-4:A or 5-2P-4:B above:
A. Zoning.
1. An ADU subject only to a building permit under subsection 5-2P-4:A above may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone.
2. An ADU subject to an ADU permit under subsection 5-2P-4:B above may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use.
3. In accordance with Government Code section 66333(a), a JADU may only be created on a lot zoned for single-family residences.
B. Height.
1. Except as otherwise provided by subsections 5-2P-5:B.2 and 5-2P-5:B.3 below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height.
2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the 65544.00401\42909308.2 6
Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection 5-2P-5:B.4 may not exceed two stories.
5. For purposes of this subsection 5-2P-5:B, height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
C. Fire Sprinklers.
1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
D. Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.
E. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
F. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewatertreatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
G. Owner Occupancy.
1. ADUs created under this section on or after January 1, 2020 are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
2. As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as 65544.00401\42909308.2 7
the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owneroccupancy requirement in this subsection 5-2P-5:G.2 does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
H. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Building Official. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
3. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
I. Rent Reporting. In order to facilitate the city’s obligation to identify adequate sites for housing in accordance with Government Code sections 65583.1 and 66330, the following requirements must be satisfied:
1. With the building-permit application, the applicant must provide the city with an estimate of the projected annualized rent that will be charged for the ADU or JADU.
65544.00401\42909308.2 8
2. Within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner must report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year. If the city does not receive the report within the 90-day period, the owner is in violation of this Code, and the city may send the owner a notice of violation and allow the owner another 30 days to submit the report. If the owner fails to submit the report within the 30- day period, the city may enforce this provision in accordance with applicable law.
J. Building & Safety.
1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection 5-2P-5:J.2 below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official 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. Nothing in this subsection 5-2P-5:J.2 prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section. 5-2P-6: SPECIFIC ADU REQUIREMENTS.
The following requirements apply only to ADUs that require an ADU permit under subsection 5-2P-4:B above.
A. Maximum Size.
1. The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this subsection 5-2P-6: is 850 square feet for a studio or one-bedroom unit and 1,000 square feet for a unit with two or more bedrooms.
2. An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50 percent of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling.
3. Application of other development standards in this subsection 5-2P-6:, such as FAR or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of the percent-based size limit in subsection 5-2P-6:A.2 above or of an FAR, front setback, lot coverage limit, or open-space requirement may require the ADU to be less than 800 square feet. 65544.00401\42909308.2 9
B. Setbacks.
1. ADUs that are subject to this subsection 5-2P-6: must conform to 4-foot side and rear setbacks. ADUs that are subject to this subsection 5-2P-6:
must conform to 50-foot front setbacks, subject to subsection 5-2P-6:A.3 above.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 391 AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND
DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO
COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC
RESOURCES CODE
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In 2024, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, two new bills — AB 2533 and SB 1211 — that further amend state ADU law.
DISCUSSION
AB 2533 – Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs
Subject to limited exceptions, existing state law prohibits a city from denying a permit to legalize an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the denial is based on the ADU not complying with applicable building, state or local ADU standards. One exception allows a city to deny a permit to legalize if the city makes a written finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure.
AB 2533 changes this by: (1) expanding the above prohibition to also include JADUs; (2) moving the construction-cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; and (3) replacing the above exception
RED LINED VERSION
Item No. 7A
Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes In State Law Regarding ADUs
with a requirement that local agencies find that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 (Substandard Buildings). (See amended Gov.
Code, § 66332(a)–(f).)
SB 1211 – Replacement Parking Requirements; Multifamily ADUs Replacement Parking
Existing state law prohibits the City from requiring off-street parking spaces to be replaced when a garage, carport or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or conversion to, an ADU.
SB 1211 amends this prohibition to now also prohibit a city from requiring replacement parking when an uncovered parking space is demolished for or replaced with an ADU. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66314(d)(11).)
Multifamily ADUs
SB 1211 further defines livable space in connection with converted ADUs inside a multifamily dwelling structure. Existing state law requires the City to ministerially approve qualifying building-permit applications for ADUs within “portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages ….” The term “livable space” is not defined by existing state ADU law.
SB 1211 changes this by adding a new definition: “‘Livable space’ means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.” (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(e).)
SB 1211 also increases the number of detached ADUs that lots with an existing multifamily dwelling can have. Existing state law allows a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling to have up to two detached ADUs.
Under SB 1211, a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling can have up to eight detached ADUs, or as many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4)(A)(ii).) SB 1211 does not alter the number of ADUs that a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling can have — the limit remains at two. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4).) Both AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect January 1, 2025. If the City’s ADU ordinance does not comply with requirements of both bills by that date, the City’s entire existing ADU ordinance becomes null and void as a matter of law, and the City will have to allow ADUs with no regulation except for the few requirements in the state ADU law itself. The approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on these default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, and architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety.
Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes In State Law Regarding ADUs
The proposed ordinance is an urgency measure, which means it will take immediate effect upon adoption.
Typically, an ordinance affecting planning and zoning is approved by the Council after a planning-agency recommendation, a first reading and introduction before the Council and then a second reading at a regular Council meeting — with the ordinance taking effect 30 days following adoption. But here it is necessary for the City Council to adopt this ordinance as an urgency measure because AB 2533 and SB 1211 will take effect on January 1, 2025, before a non-urgency adoption would take effect. The urgency ordinance will be followed at the earliest possible time by a non-urgency ordinance subject to all normal procedures.
For the above reasons, staffs recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 (Attachment 1), which will ensure that the City’s ADU ordinance remains valid when AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect on January 1, 2025. Adoption of an urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 majority vote.
Environmental Review
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 66313. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed urgency ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City of Hidden Hills.
RECOMMENDATION
It would be staff’s recommendationStaff recommends that the City Council:
A. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 is statuorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
B. Waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 391 entitled: “AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO
COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE.” If the Council concurs, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move that the City Council:
A. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 391 is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes In State Law Regarding ADUs
B. Waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 391 entitled: “AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT) OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE

(a) (i) The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay, or (b) (ii) When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.
3. (C) If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant.

B. (2) Height.
93939.00051\32452781.44
6 1. (A) Except as otherwise provided by subsections 5-2P-5:B.2 and 5- 2P-5:B.35-2P-5:B.2 and 5-2P-5:B.3 below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height.
2. (B) A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. (C) A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
4. (D) An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower.

5. (E) For purposes of this subsection 5-2P-5:B5-2P-5:B, height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
C. (3) Fire Sprinklers.
1. (A) Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. (B) The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
D. (4) Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.
E. (5) No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).

However, the owner-occupancy requirement in this subsection 5-2P-5:G.25-2P5:G.2 does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
H. (8) Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the DirectorBuildingBuilding Official. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
1. (A) Except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. (B) The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
3. (C) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
4. (D) The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated.
Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
5. (E) The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to 93939.00051\32452781.44
8 comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
I. (9) Rent Reporting. In order to facilitate the city’s obligation to identify adequate sites for housing in accordance with Government Code sections 65583.1 and 66330, the following requirements must be satisfied:
1. (A) With the building-permit application, the applicant must provide the city with an estimate of the projected annualized rent that will be charged for the ADU or JADU.
2. (B) Within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner must report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year. If the city does not receive the report within the 90-day period, the owner is in violation of this Code, and the city may send the owner a notice of violation and allow the owner another 30 days to submit the report. If the owner fails to submit the report within the 30-day period, the city may enforce this provision in accordance with applicable law.
J. (10) Building & Safety.
1. (A) Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection 5-2P5:J.25-2P-5:J.2 below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
2. (B) No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Division officer Building Official 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. Nothing in this subsection 5-2P-5:J.25-2P-5:J.2 prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.

SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 392 AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND USE AND
DEVELOPMENT), OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO COMPLY WITH
RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that, among other things, amended various sections of the Government Code to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In 2024, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, two new bills — AB 2533 and SB 1211 — that further amend state ADU.
DISCUSSION
AB 2533 – Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs
Subject to limited exceptions, existing state law prohibits a city from denying a permit to legalize an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the denial is based on the ADU not complying with applicable building, state, or local ADU standards. One exception allows a city to deny a permit to legalize if the city makes a written finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure.
AB 2533 changes this by: (1) expanding the above prohibition to also include JADUs; (2) moving the construction-cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; and (3) replacing the above exception with a requirement that local agencies find that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 (Substandard Buildings). (See amended Gov.
Code, § 66332(a)–(f).)
Item No. 7B
Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes In State Law Regarding ADUs
SB 1211 – Replacement Parking Requirements; Multifamily ADUs Replacement Parking
Existing state law prohibits the City from requiring off-street parking spaces to be replaced when a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or conversion to, an ADU.
SB 1211 amends this prohibition to now also prohibit a city from requiring replacement parking when an uncovered parking space is demolished for or replaced with an ADU. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66314(d)(11).)
Multifamily ADUs
SB 1211 further defines livable space in connection with converted ADUs inside a multifamily dwelling structure. Existing state law requires the City to ministerially approve qualifying building-permit applications for ADUs within “portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages ….” The term “livable space” is not defined by existing state ADU law.
SB 1211 changes this by adding a new definition: “‘Livable space’ means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.” (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(e).)
SB 1211 also increases the number of detached ADUs that lots with an existing multifamily dwelling can have. Existing state law allows a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling to have up to two detached ADUs.
Under SB 1211, a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling can have up to eight detached ADUs, or as many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4)(A)(ii).) SB 1211 does not alter the number of ADUs that a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling can have — the limit remains at two. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4).) Both AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect January 1, 2025. To remain valid, the City’s ADU ordinance must comply with requirements imposed by AB 2533 and SB 1211. Adopting Ordinance No. 392 (Attachment 1) ensures that the City’s ADU ordinance will be valid under AB 2533 and SB 1211. For these reasons staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No 392.
Environmental Review
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by Urgency Ordinance Regarding Changes In State Law Regarding ADUs
section 66313. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City of Hidden Hills.
RECOMMENDATION
It Is staff’s recommendation that the City Council:
Waive full reading and Introduce Ordinance No. 392 for first reading and consideration.
Open the public hearing, receive public testimony, close the public hearing, and by motion:
1. Find that the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
2. Approve Ordinance No. 392 to be brought back for second reading and adoption.
If the Council concurs, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move that the City Council:
1. Find that the adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 392 is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
2. Waive full reading of Ordinance No. 392, amending Article P, entitled “Accessory Dwelling Units,” of Title 5 (Land Use and Development), of the City of Hidden Hills Municipal Code to comply with recent changes in state law (Attachment 1), and approve the Ordinance to be brought back for second reading and adoption.”

1. An ADU permit is considered and approved ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing.
2. The city must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the city receives a completed application. If the city has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days, the application is deemed approved unless either:

(b) When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing.
3. If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Notice of the denial and corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the 60- day time period established by subsection 5-2P-4:C.2 above.
4. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.
5-2P-5: GENERAL ADU AND JADU REQUIREMENTS.
The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under subsections 5-2P-4:A or 5-2P-4:B above:
A. Zoning.
1. An ADU subject only to a building permit under subsection 5-2P-4:A above may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone.
2. An ADU subject to an ADU permit under subsection 5-2P-4:B above may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use.
3. In accordance with Government Code section 66333(a), a JADU may only be created on a lot zoned for single-family residences.
B. Height.
1. Except as otherwise provided by subsections 5-2P-5:B.2 and 5-2P-5:B.3 below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height.
2. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the 65544.00401\42909308.2 6
Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection 5-2P-5:B.4 may not exceed two stories.
5. For purposes of this subsection 5-2P-5:B, height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
C. Fire Sprinklers.
1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
D. Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.
E. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
F. Septic System. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an onsite wastewatertreatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.
G. Owner Occupancy.
1. ADUs created under this section on or after January 1, 2020 are not subject to an owner-occupancy requirement.
2. As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as 65544.00401\42909308.2 7
the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owneroccupancy requirement in this subsection 5-2P-5:G.2 does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
H. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder’s office and a copy filed with the Building Official. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
3. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director’s determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the director or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
I. Rent Reporting. In order to facilitate the city’s obligation to identify adequate sites for housing in accordance with Government Code sections 65583.1 and 66330, the following requirements must be satisfied:
1. With the building-permit application, the applicant must provide the city with an estimate of the projected annualized rent that will be charged for the ADU or JADU.
65544.00401\42909308.2 8
2. Within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner must report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year. If the city does not receive the report within the 90-day period, the owner is in violation of this Code, and the city may send the owner a notice of violation and allow the owner another 30 days to submit the report. If the owner fails to submit the report within the 30- day period, the city may enforce this provision in accordance with applicable law.
J. Building & Safety.
1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection 5-2P-5:J.2 below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
2. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the Building Official 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. Nothing in this subsection 5-2P-5:J.2 prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section. 5-2P-6: SPECIFIC ADU REQUIREMENTS.
The following requirements apply only to ADUs that require an ADU permit under subsection 5-2P-4:B above.
A. Maximum Size.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATIONINTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 392 AMENDING ARTICLE P, ENTITLED “ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS,” OF TITLE 5 (LAND
USE AND DEVELOPMENT), OF THE CITY OF HIDDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS TO COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES IN STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER SECTION 21080.17 OF THE
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that, among other things, amended various sections of the Government Code to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In 2024, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, two new bills — AB 2533 and SB 1211 — that further amend state ADU.
DISCUSSION
AB 2533 – Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs
Subject to limited exceptions, existing state law prohibits a city from denying a permit to legalize an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the denial is based on the ADU not complying with applicable building, state, or local ADU standards. One exception allows a city to deny a permit to legalize if the city makes a written finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure.
AB 2533 changes this by: (1) expanding the above prohibition to also include JADUs; (2) moving the construction-cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; and (3) replacing the above exception with a requirement that local agencies find that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the
