Public Hearings:
The Council will consider amendments to the City's municipal code related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The amendments would modify municipal code changes previously adopted by the Council, based on suggestions from the California Coastal Commission for properties located in the coastal zone. The proposed ordinances would incorporate the Commission's modifications into the City's Coastal Land Use Plan. The City's own efforts to encourage the development of additional ADUs to help meet state -mandated housing goals will require future changes to the City's regulations. These changes are being developed with the assistance of a Planning Commission ad hoc committee.
