NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY COUNCIL
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
CITYWIDE, CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the City of Pleasant Hill that the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed zoning ordinance amendment related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) (Section 18.20.095). The proposed amendment to the ADU Ordinance would ensure compliance with recent updates to State law.
Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, the lead agency has determined that the proposed activity is exempt from CEQA. The City, as the lead agency, has determined with certainty that the proposed activity will not have a significant effect on the environment, as the proposed amendments are intended to comply with State law and have an ordinance consistent with State mandated provisions. In addition, under California Public Resources Code section 21080. 17, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Chapter 13 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California’s ADU law. Therefore, the proposed ADU ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State’s ADU law.
The PUBLIC HEARING will be held by the CITY COUNCIL starting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025, in the CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, City Hall, at 100 Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill. Interested persons will be heard at this time at the meeting.
NOTICE IS ALSO GIVEN pursuant to Government Code Section 65009(B) that, if this matter is subsequently challenged in Court by you or others, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else has raised at a Public Hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Pleasant Hill at, or prior to, the Public Hearing.
For information related to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance, please call or email Andrew Shiflet, Associate Planner, at (925) 671-5211 or [email protected].
