Policy Action 1-9: Amend the City’s Zoning for Compliance with State Law and to Reduce Governmental Constraints on the Development of Housing
The City of Murrieta will review and make appropriate amendments to the Development Code for the following:
• Update the development to allow for Manufactured and Mobile homes as a by-right use in all residential zones. • Update the review and amend the development code as appropriate to address the minimum lot size required for Multi-family residential developments, specifically, the minimum lot provisions in Multi-Family zones, such as MF-1, MF-2, and MF-3.
• Review and revise Title 16.73.050 “Findings and Decision” to revise the following findings for reasonable accommodations to remove subjective language and mitigate the constraint of development for accessible housing:
• Specifically, the City will review and revise Finding 5, which states “The requested reasonable accommodation would not adversely impact surrounding properties or uses” to specify objective requirements related to building and safety standards.
• Amend Title 16.31.040 “Number of Parking Spaces Required” to remove the requirement for one (1) space for each unit in a fully enclosed garage for multifamily housing projects. • Amend Title 16.52.040 “Findings and Decisions” to revise Finding A, “The proposed use is conditionally allowed within, and would not impair the integrity and character of, the subject zoning district and complies with all applicable provisions of this development code” to remove the language which references integrity and character. • Amend Title 16.44.200 “Emergency Residential Shelters and Transitional Housing” to provide for sufficient parking to accommodate all staff working in the emergency shelter, provided that the parking standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than other residential or commercial uses within the same zone. 25 HE Implementation
