DWELLING UNITS
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. As a result, the Town’s municipal code needed to be updated to maintain the Town’s ability to regulate ADUs and 10/7/2026 9:31 AMhttps://townofloomis.sharepoint.com/sites/files/Files/Clerk/1 Agendas/2026/13 October 13, 2026/1 TC Draft Action Minutes 20260908.doc 3
JADUs in compliance with state law. The proposed ordinance before you re-adopts the same amendments to Section 13.42.270, which align the Town’s regulations with state law to enable the public to more easily understand the regulatory framework when developing ADUs and JADUs, and allow staff to more efficiently review project applications for consistency with all applicable requirements.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
A. Find that the adoption of the ADU Ordinance amendments is statutorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Public Resources Code § 21080.17; and B.
