5. Include in a written notice of the Hearing, a statement in bold-faced type of 12 points or larger:
a. That all written objections must be submitted to the City Clerk by the end of public comment period at the Hearing and that a failure to timely object in writing bars any right to challenge that fee, charge, or assessment in court and that any such action will be limited to issues identified in such objections. b.

Mayor Balch called a recess at 9:25 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:35 p.m.

By majority consensus, the City Council approved recommendations 1, 2 and 3 regarding annexation and development of the two Projects in Pleasanton as follows:

1. The City should accept and process development applications for the Arroyo Lago and East Lakes projects, due to the relative environmental and fiscal benefits of these projects developing in Pleasanton, and opportunity to achieve a coordinated approach to planning and provision of infrastructure.

2. Direct staff and the applicants to work collaboratively toward creating a mechanism for property owners benefiting from new public infrastructure to help finance the East Pleasanton infrastructure.

3. Direct staff to initiate a process to amend the General Plan, to incorporate a vision and expanded and updated policies for the East Pleasanton area.

By majority consensus, the City Council approved recommendations 4 and 5 regarding the Arroyo Lago Project as follows:

4. Accept deviations from all non-compliant ODS standards except for the minimum 15-foot rear setback standard. Direct the applicant to modify the project to provide a minimum 15-foot rear setback for lots abutting the Ironwood community, with the expectation that such modifications do not require significant re-design of the project.

5. Approve the Key Terms as outlined in agenda report attachment 1, with respect to the anticipated Arroyo Lago application process, including required discretionary entitlements, CEQA review, and schedule.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

March 18, 2025
City Manager

TITLE: RECEIVE A REPORT ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

SUMMARY
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of community engagement efforts related to the budget development process for Fiscal Years 2025-27, including outcomes from the Budget Town Hall and additional community engagement activities. A separate update on the Budget Advisory Committee's activities and recommendations will be provided to the City Council later this spring.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive a report on community engagement for the Fiscal Years 2025-27 budget development process.

BACKGROUND
The City operates on a two-year budget cycle. Prior to July 1 of every odd numbered year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed two-year budget for the subsequent two fiscal years. Public engagement is an important part of the budget development process to ensure that the voices of Pleasanton’s diverse community members are reflected in the final budget. For the upcoming two-year budget, the City is evaluating potential program and service reductions to address a projected structural deficit averaging $13 million annually over the next eight years, starting in fiscal year 2025/26.

In December 2024, staff presented a comprehensive budget development community engagement strategy, consisting of one town hall, two pop-up events, and an online engagement tool. These tools were designed to complement scheduled City Council meetings and budget workshops, ensuring the public gains a clearer understanding of the budget development process and has multiple opportunities to provide input.

After feedback from the City Council, staff revised the community engagement plan to include one town hall, several additional City Council budget workshops, and an online engagement tool; the City Council approved the revised FY 2025-27 budget development and engagement plan on January 9, 2025. Civic Makers, a Bay Area-based strategic consulting firm that had previously supported the citywide strategic plan engagement efforts, supported the budget community engagement efforts. A robust communications campaign included social media platforms, newsletters, a dedicated website landing page, and other collateral to broadly inform residents and businesses about the budget development engagement opportunities.

To further enhance community participation, the City Council also approved the creation of the Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) to provide insights and recommendations on community priorities and strategies for achieving a balanced budget. A separate update on the Budget

Page 22 of 348 ends

Page 2 of 4 ends

Advisory Committee's activities and recommendations will be provided to the City Council.

DISCUSSION
Budget Town Hall
On February 11, 2025, the City hosted a Budget Town Hall at the Pleasanton Library to engage the public on budget priorities and resource allocation for the FY 2025-27 budget. The Budget Town Hall was well attended, with more than 90 attendees, and was co-facilitated by Civic Makers - a program and service design firm - and City staff, with bilingual staff fluent in Mandarin and Spanish providing translation services.

The Town Hall included a presentation covering a general fund overview, City financial challenges and future planning, and a program and service overview, followed by questions and answers from the attendees. Community members participated in various budget feedback activities, which included three stations: current City budget, programs/services, and budget process; budget reductions and other ideas to balance the budget (dot voting exercise); and kids’ activities.

Town Hall Summary Report Findings
In the Town Hall budget reduction exercise, participants were instructed to select up to six programs/services to keep (red dots) and up to 13 to cut/reduce across budget categories (blue dots). Analysis of the dot voting exercise shows the highest levels of support for reducing the following programs/services (total blue dots received are in parentheses below):
• Planning & Building: Reduce plan checking, long-range planning and permitting consultant contracts (36)
• Recreation: Restructure Recreation Programs (36)
• Planning & Building: Eliminate the sustainability manager position (28) • Community Support: Reduce or eliminate City-funded School Crossing Guard Program (28) • Parks, Streets & Facilities: Reduce landscaping services citywide (25) • Community Support: Reduce Community Support and Subsidies (21) • Planning & Building: Eliminate Neighborhood Traffic-Calming Program (20) • Planning & Building: Reduce in-person permit counter service to 2.5 days/week (18) • Community Support: Restructure and Reduce Housing and Human Services Grants (16) Conversely, the top-voted programs/services participants want to retain are:
• Library: Reduce Library Hours from 62 to 40 (64)
• Fire: Close 1 Pleasanton Fire Station (41)
• Planning & Building: Close the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center (40) • Community Support: Reduce Senior Center Hours (25)
• Police: Reduce Special Enforcement and Investigation Units (21)

Revenue-generating ideas received were categorized into five themes:

1. Business and Economic Development

2. Grants and Fundraising

3. Events and Hotel Taxes

4. Fees and Leasing

5. Housing and Development.

Other budget reduction ideas received centered around reducing staff costs, canceling the gas-powered leaf blower ban, pausing capital projects, and evaluating whether to continue to be a full-service city.

Analysis and feedback are also provided in the Town Hall Budget Engagement Summary Report (Attachment 1).

Page 3 of 4 ends

While the Town Hall event was well attended, with participation from community members across the city, the 90 attendees represent only a small segment of Pleasanton's diverse community. To broaden engagement and reach more people, staff created additional online opportunities for community engagement.

Online Budget Engagement Tool and Educational Budget Video In addition to the Budget Town Hall and the work of the BAC, staff has developed an online budget engagement tool and an educational budget video to enhance community participation and understanding of the City's budget.

The online budget engagement tool is designed to accommodate members of the public who were not able to attend the in-person Budget Town Hall. The online budget engagement tool provides increased equitable engagement in an accessible platform to share:

1. Comments about program/service reductions

2. Ideas about other ways the City can balance the budget through reductions and revenue generation.

The online budget engagement tool on the City’s website was launched on March 5 and will remain open through March 24, 2025. In the first three days, more than 70 responses were received, reflecting strong community interest in providing input. This qualitative data collected will be compiled and shared with the City Council.
• Budget Engagement Tool: https://forms.office.com/g/4E36ycbfzv Additionally, a new budget educational video provides a concise, two-minute overview of the budget process, including the operating budget, capital budget, and various City funds. This video is intended to make the budget more understandable and accessible to the community by presenting key concepts in a simple and engaging format.
• Budget Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1BxKG8T24U

Next Steps
In addition to the structured feedback gathered through the efforts outlined above, some community members have taken the initiative to develop their own versions of the proposed reductions and gather or share feedback outside of City-led efforts, including bringing their own materials to a public event and dropping off information at City Hall. These efforts highlight community interest in this topic, reinforcing the value of continued budget engagement efforts.

Throughout the budget development process, the City's Budget Development webpage (https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/our-government/finance-department/budget-development/) has been updated to serve as a primary source of information. Key opportunities for the public to continue to engage in the budget development process are scheduled through June:
• March 13 – Budget Advisory Committee Meeting #3
• April 2 – Budget Advisory Committee Meeting #4
• April 8 -- Preliminary Budget Recommendation and Options • May 20 – Budget Workshop: Proposed Biennial Budget and 5-year CIP • June 17 – Operating and Capital Budget Adoption.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The budget engagement summary report and budget engagement update align with the City’s values of inclusion and sustainability by actively engaging diverse community representatives in addressing fiscal challenges to ensure recommendations reflect the broader community’s

Page 24 of 348 ends

Page 4 of 4 ends

needs.

OUTREACH
The City implemented a comprehensive outreach strategy, engaging the community both in- person and online to ensure broad participation in the budget process. Residents have the opportunity to provide input through multiple channels, including public meetings, digital platforms, and direct engagement efforts. The budget engagement tool remains active throughout much of March, allowing community members to share their feedback. Additionally, the budget educational video will continue to be available on the City’s website beyond budget adoption, serving as an ongoing resource for residents to better understand budget basics.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Funding our Future and supports financial health and sound fiscal policies. As well, budget engagement is consistent with the City’s ONE Pleasanton goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs- Strategy 2 to develop a plan for strategic external communications to the community that focuses on priorities and integrates equitable best practices to increase the reach and access for the entire community.

FISCAL IMPACT
This is an informational report only; there is no fiscal impact from receiving this report.

It also provides a look forward to the upcoming projects and priorities for the next fiscal year (FY 2025/26) and highlights the seven priority strategies identified by the City Council during its January 29, 2025, City Council Retreat.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on year two of implementation of the five-year citywide strategic plan and confirm City Council priorities.

BACKGROUND
On October 3, 2023, the City Council approved Pleasanton’s first five-year citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan. The strategic plan is a policy document that defines the City’s vision, mission, values and identifies citywide goals, strategies, and implementation actions over a five-year period from 2024 to 2028.

The five-year citywide strategic plan defines 47 strategies in five goal areas:

1. Funding Our Future: Fiscal Sustainability

2. Optimizing Our Organization: Organizational Effectiveness

3. Investing in Our Environment: Infrastructure, Public Facilities, and Sustainability

4. Safeguarding Our City: Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

5. Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs: Livability and Community Development.

Staff has developed an implementation plan that ties the goals and strategies in the plan to actionable projects and resources. The implementation plan was used to inform departmental work plans that outline specific objectives and tasks for each City department to advance strategic plan goals in the current fiscal year. Since FY 2024/25, performance evaluations for managers and executive staff are tied to advancing departmental work plans.

At its retreat on January 29, 2025, the City Council participated in a priority-setting discussion and exercise to review the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan and update City Council priority strategies. Using the dot voting method, The City Council members reviewed strategies listed in the strategic plan and selected those they believed should be prioritized. That prioritization

3. Goal C. Investing in Our Environment Strategy 3. Identify funding and implement the recommendations from the Water Supply Alternative Study to resolve PFAS water quality issues

4. Goal D. Safeguarding Our City Strategy 1. Assess the City’s overall emergency preparedness capabilities, resources, and tools and implement changes as needed

5. Goal A. Funding Our Future Strategy 2. Identify expanded and new revenue sources to address significant infrastructure needs

6. Goal E. Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs Strategy 4. Implement the updated 2024-2028 Economic Development Strategic Plan initiatives

7. Goal E. Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs Strategy 9. Advance the East Pleasanton Specific Plan.

maintenance needs of community-owned facilities and infrastructure

Status Update: City Council established the Budget Advisory Committee to evaluate cost-reduction strategies for the development of the two-year budget, and infrastructure funding needs and revenue options in the longer-term. A Budget Town Hall was held on February 11, 2025, where community members provided input on budget-balancing strategies, revenue ideas, and principles for budget development. An Asset Management Plan is in development.

Status Update: The development of an Asset Management Plan started in May 2024 to provide details about funding gaps in various infrastructure categories. The project will be implemented in three phases, with the City Council approving the first two phases on April 16, 2024; Phases 1 (discover the gap) and 2 (collect data and assess conditions) are scheduled to be completed in August 2025. The City Council approved Phase 3 (life-cycle planning) on February 4, 2025, with planned completion set for the end of 2025.

3. Goal C. Investing in Our Environment Strategy 3. Identify funding and implement the recommendations from the Water Supply Alternative Study to resolve PFAS water quality issues

On January 21, 2025, the City Council accepted the Water System Management Plan based on a 20-year Capital Improvement Plan that identifies and prioritizes projects based on recommendations from planning and technical studies. The City has designed, awarded, and started construction on several critical near-term water improvement projects, including bond rating and issuance to support debt to construct near-term improvements and the feasibility and design phases of the regional well project. Recently, a Pleasanton Water Open House was held on March 1, 2025, to educate the community about the City’s water supply, local water projects, and conservation efforts.

The City’s Emergency Preparedness website has been refreshed to provide valuable information for the public, including updated guidelines for Cooling and Warming Facilities and Power Outages at https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/emergency-preparedness/. Staff will be bringing an update of the City’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to the City Council later this year.

Three additional strategies received three or more dot votes at the January 29 retreat, reflecting strong City Council support and bringing the total to seven priority strategies, all of which are currently on track.

Some actions were advanced in FY 2023-2024 to meet the City's CAP 2.0 goals, including the gas leaf blower ban and completion of a draft urban forest master plan. However, the vacant Sustainability Manager position is frozen in the FY 2024-2025 mid-term budget due to lack of funding, which delays implementation of CAP 2.0, limiting the City’s ability to achieve strategies that meet reduced emissions goals; also limits City’s capacity to search and apply for grants, and participate in regional partnerships and related financial funding opportunities for projects like EV chargers and other electrification efforts.

While existing investments and work is ongoing, staff needs to identify resources and define specific projects to advance this goal. As part of discussions during the City's recent impact fee update in 2024, City Council directed staff to develop a "percent for public art" program that would encourage new public art to be installed as part of private development projects or pay a fee in the case of smaller projects. Library and Recreation staff is actively working on bringing this item to the Civic Arts Commission in March 2025 and the City Council in April 2025; if adopted, the fee could provide a funding source for public art acquisition, installation, maintenance, and programming.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

March 18, 2025
Community Development

TITLE: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18.106 OF THE

PLEASANTON MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING

UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, TO COMPLY WITH

STATE LAW, AND CONSIDER INCLUSION OF PROVISIONS TO ALLOW

SEPARATE CONVEYANCE OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AS IDENTIFIED IN STATE LAW [P25-0026]

SUMMARY
In September 2024 Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1211 (SB 1211) and Assembly Bill 2533 (AB 2533), amending existing State law with respect to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units; the laws took effect January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the City is initiating amendments to the Pleasanton Municipal Code to comply with the recent legislation and other minor amendments to be consistent with State law. Additionally, staff seeks additional input from the City Council on separate conveyance of accessory dwelling units as identified in Assembly Bill (AB 1033); staff and the Planning Commission have recommended not proceeding at this time with adoption of PMC provisions to allow for separate conveyance, due to the administrative complexity and low likelihood of uptake given Pleasanton’s local conditions.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Find the proposed amendment to the Pleasanton Municipal Code statutorily exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and categorically exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15303; and

2. Introduce the ordinance, find the subject code amendment consistent with the General Plan, and approve Case P25-0026, amendment to the Pleasanton Municipal Code as shown in Exhibit A.

BACKGROUND
For the past several years, the State has adopted a series of new laws intended to encourage the production of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs), principally by reducing regulatory barriers to property owners from being able to construct these units. Recent examples include legislation requiring ministerial approval of ADU and JADU applications within 60 days, authorizing ADUs on lots with multifamily dwellings, and prohibiting local agencies from imposing local development standards (e.g., height and setbacks) beyond State-set limits.

The City has progressively updated its ADU ordinance to respond to and come into compliance with State law. To this end, recent amendments were made: Ordinance 2213 was adopted in March 2021 to modify PMC Chapters 18.08, 18.28, 18.32, 18.36, 18.44,

Page 66 of 348 ends

Page 2 of 5 ends

18.46,18.84, and 18.106 to implement State law, and in May 2024 Ordinance 2277 was adopted to revise Chapter 18.106 to comply with new State law.

SB 1211
SB 1211 was signed into law in September 2024 and was effective on January 1, 2025. The bill’s major provisions address requirements for replacement parking and modify existing provisions regarding ADUs in multi-family properties, including conversion of existing space, and the number of allowable ADUs (see Discussion section below).

AB 2533
AB 2533 was signed into law in September 2024 and was effective on January 1, 2025. The bill addresses legalization of unpermitted ADUs and JADUs that were constructed before January 1, 2020 (see Discussion section below).

AB 1033: Separate Conveyance of ADUs
Among the more recent changes to State law was AB 1033, which permits local agencies to allow ADUs to be sold separately (“separately conveyed”) from the lot’s primary dwelling if certain conditions are met. At its September 11, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed the separate conveyance of ADUs, and expressed some, although not unanimous, interest in pursuing the concept. While recognizing that separate conveyance might encourage ADU production by allowing homeowners to receive more economic benefit when investing in construction of an ADU, the report also noted concerns about potential complexities when separately conveyed ADUs are part of a Homeowners Association (HOA), and subject to HOA rules and requirements. The City Council also discussed this topic as part of a discussion on October 15, 2024, and expressed an interest in further exploration of the topic.

DISCUSSION
SB 1211: Summary of Requirements and Proposed PMC Amendments SB 1211 includes the following key provisions:

Replacement Parking: Existing Government Code section 66314(d)(11) prohibits local agencies 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 subsection to also prohibit local agencies from requiring replacement parking when an uncovered parking space is demolished for or replaced with an ADU.

Multifamily ADUs: Existing Government Code section 66323(a)(3)(A), requires local agencies 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 State ADU law. SB 1211 adds a new definition for “‘livable space", which means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.”

SB 1211 also increases the quantity of detached ADUs that lots with an existing multifamily dwelling can have. Currently, Government Code section 66323(a)(4)(A) permits lots with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling to have up to two detached ADUs. SB 1211, allows lots with an existing multifamily dwelling to have up to eight detached ADUs, or as

Page 67 of 348 ends

Page 3 of 5 ends

many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. SB 1211 does not alter the number of ADUs that lots with proposed multifamily dwelling can have — those remain limited to two detached ADUs.

State law requires complete consistency between a local ordinance and the state ADU law. As such, the City must amend its ordinance to comply with the changes required by SB 1211.

Attachment 1 to Exhibit A of this agenda report includes the revised text to Chapter 18.106 of the PMC, including amendments to Sections 18.106.060(C) and (D), in conformance with the above requirements.

To date, the City has received two applications for multifamily ADUs – an application to construct two detached ADUs on a site with 8 existing units and an application to convert attached covered garages to 10 ADUs at a multifamily site with 456 units. The more liberal provisions of SB 1211 may allow for the construction of a greater number of units at more multifamily sites.

AB 2533: Summary of Requirements and Proposed PMC Amendments Government Code section 66332 prohibits local agencies 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 local agencies to deny a permit to legalize if they make 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 altered this requirement by amending Government Code section 66332 to: (1) expand its applicability to JADUs; (2) change the construction cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; (3) replace 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); (4) mandate new public- notification requirements about limits on local regulation, substandard-building criteria, and pre-application inspection by a private contractor; and (5) address scope of city inspections and limits on remedial action.

Exhibit A to Attachment 1of this agenda report includes the revised text to Chapter 18.106 of the PMC, which adds Section 18.106.080, in conformance with the above requirements.

Separate Conveyance of ADUs
Since AB 1033 was adopted, very few jurisdictions have adopted an ordinance allowing the separate conveyance of ADUs; in staff’s research, San José is the first and only Bay Area jurisdiction to do so. Other jurisdictions have provided discussion of the new law to their decision-making bodies, but in most cases have suggested deferring adoption of local regulations, pending being able to gauge interest from the development community, and to benefit from the experience of other jurisdictions in developing and implementing an ordinance.

The San José “ADU Condominium” ordinance, adopted on June 11, 2024 (Attachment 2) demonstrates the complexity of the process. To date, San José has received one application for ADU Condominium conversion. As can be seen in the ordinance, the requirements are lengthy and complex since they need to ensure that the separate conveyance includes

Page 68 of 348 ends

Page 4 of 5 ends

adequate provisions for management and maintenance of common areas, including lienholder consent and the formation of a homeowners association for the primary unit and ADU.

As was discussed in the October 15, 2024 City Council Agenda Report (page 62), many residential neighborhoods in Pleasanton are part of a Planned Unit Development and subject to an HOA and its CC&Rs. No jurisdictions similar to Pleasanton (i.e., with many planned unit developments and active HOAs) have adopted an ordinance to permit separate conveyance.

Staff proposes that allowing separate conveyance for properties with existing HOAs could raise complex questions; for example, about how HOA dues would be assessed, and how ADU subdivisions would interface with existing CC&Rs and property maintenance and easement agreements.

Given these complexities, the prevalence of HOAs in Pleasanton, unknown level of interest among property owners in separate conveyance, and added administration for both staff and existing HOAs to allow separate conveyance of the principal unit, staff does not recommend dedicating limited staff resources to developing a local ordinance to allow separate conveyance at this time. If there proves to be substantial property owner interest, and the opportunity to learn from the experience of other similar communities, adopting such an ordinance may be appropriate in the future. The Planning Commission supported staff’s recommendation not to introduce PMC amendments with respect to separate conveyance.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed code amendments are statutorily exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h) in that CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance implementing state ADU law. The proposed amendments are also statutorily exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268, in that the amendments are necessary to conform to and implement the ministerial approval processes mandated by State law. The amendments are further exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that there is no possibility the activity will have a significant effect on the environment.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 12, 2025, to review and provide a recommendation to the City Council on the proposed actions. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendments. The Planning Commission did not recommend pursuing the adoption of separate conveyance of ADUs pursuant to AB 1033, given the limited applicability, complexity of review process and demand on staff time. There was no public comment provided during the hearing.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
ADUs and JADUs contribute to the creation of affordable housing within the city, and are often used for multi-generational families. Adoption of this ordinance may reduce barriers to constructing ADUs and JADUs.

OUTREACH
Notification of this code amendment has been published in The Valley Times as an upcoming agenda item for the March 18, 2025, City Council meeting.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs of the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan, in that the amendments may further production

of ADUs and JADUs.

CHAPTER 18.106

ACCESSORY AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Note: Prior ordinance history: Ord. 1812 § 1, 2000.

§ 18.106.010. Purpose.

Accessory and junior accessory dwelling units are a valuable form of housing in the city. These units meet the city's general plan housing policies related to: attaining a variety of housing types; providing housing stock to lower income households; including lower income housing units within market rate housing projects; providing alternative, nontraditional means suited to the community to fill lower and modera te income housing needs; meeting the city's share of regional housing needs; providing a means to assist homeowners in financing the acquisition of a home; and providing security to homeowners living alone.

The further purpose of this chapter is to comply with the requirements of State law. To do so, this chapter identifies those zoning districts where an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit meeting enumerated standards to ensure neighbor hood compatibility is a permitted use in that district.
(Ord. 1885 § 2, 2003; Ord. 2080 § 2, 2013; Ord. 2161 § 1, 2017; Ord. 2213 § 2, 2021)

§ 18.106.020. Use requirements and review process.

A. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units are permitted uses in the R-1 one family residential district, RM multi-family residential district, planned unit developments zoned for residential uses, MU mixed use districts, C-C central commercial district, and A agricultural district, if the primary unit is a proposed or existing legal one- family dwelling unit or existing legal multi-family development and the accessory dwelling unit meets all of the standards set forth in Section 18.106.060 of this chapter and the applicable site standards in Section 18.106.040 of this chapter for attached accessory dwelling units, Section 18.106.045 of this chapter for detached accessory dwelling units, Section 18.106.050 of this chapter for accessory dwelling unit(s) resulting from conversion of existing space in multi-family development, or Section 18.106.070 of this chapter for junior accessory dwelling units.

B. For purposes of this section:

1. A one-family development is defined as a property, site or parcel that contains one dwelling unit (other than an accessory dwelling unit), where the primary dwelling unit is detached and/or separated from any adjacent dwelling unit other than an accessory dwelling unit. A property, site or parcel containing multiple detached single-family dwellings on the same lot shall also be considered a one- family development.

2. A multi-family development is defined as building(s) or structure(s) to house more than one household within separate dwelling units, including units having attached or shared walls.

3. A development project that has both one-family and multi-family units on the same lot shall be defined as a multi-family development.

4. In a development project that has both one-family and multi-family housing types, regulations applicable to one-family developments shall apply to the one-family housing types and regulations applicable to multi-family development shall apply to

Page 73 of 348 ends

Ordinance No.

Page 4 of 12 ends

multi-family housing types, irrespective of whether those one-family or multi-family units are each located on their own lot or a common parcel.

C. Subject to meeting the regulations of this section, accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units as defined in Chapter 18.08 shall be allowed on a parcel in the following quantities:

1. In one-family developments, both of the following are permitted:
a. One accessory dwelling unit in addition to the primary residential unit.

The accessory dwelling unit may be attached or detached and may be the result of new construction or existing space that is converted. b. One junior accessory dwelling.

2. In the multi-family developments, one of the following are permitted:
a. Non-habitable portions of the existing main structure ADUs may be created within the portions of existing multifamily structures that are not used as livable space, as defined by Gov. Code, § 66313(e), are permitted to be converted to an accessory dwelling unit. A minimum of one such accessory dwelling unit is permitted. The maximum number of such accessory dwelling units shall not exceed 25 percent of the existing multi-family dwelling units located within each multi- family structure. A fraction of 0.5 or more is rounded up and a fraction that is less than 0.5 is disregarded. In development projects that have both one-family and multi-family housing types, 25 percent shall apply only to the multi-family units, and any one-family units that are within a multi-family development but are on their own parcel are subject to regulations applicable to accessory dwelling units for one-family developments. If the multi-family unit is eligible for an accessory dwelling unit, the accessory dwelling unit resulting from the conversion of space may be located in either the multi-family unit or in the one-family unit. b. Lots with an existing multifamily dwelling are permitted to have up to eight detached ADUs, or as many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. Lots with proposed multifamily dwellings are permitted to have a maximum of two detached accessory dwelling units are permitted. The two accessory dwelling units may be attached to one another but must be detached from all existing structures.

If the p ermit application to create an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is submitted with a permit application to create a new one-family dwelling, the city may delay approving or denying the permit application for the accessory dwelling u nit or junior accessory dwelling unit until the city approves or denies the permit application to create the new one -family dwelling. If the city denies an application for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit, the city shall return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant within 60 days. In any case, and notwithstanding the requirements of this titl e, the application to create the new accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling unit shall be considered without discretionary

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

March 18, 2025
Community Development

TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT FOR
CALENDAR YEAR 2024 AND AUTHORIZE SUBMITTAL TO THE CALIFORNIA

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE

GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH

SUMMARY
An Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of the Pleasanton General Plan Housing Element has been prepared for the 2024 calendar year, per State law. The report must be approved by the local legislative body through a resolution and submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by April 1 of each year to show the status of implementation of the Housing Element goals, policies, and programs. This annual report will be the second APR submitted for the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element cycle, which was adopted on January 26, 2023, and revised and re-adopted on August 17, 2023.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and authorize submittal of the report to HCD and OPR.

BACKGROUND
Section 65400 of the California Government Code requires the City to file an annual report with the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) addressing the status of the General Plan Housing Element and progress made toward implementing its goals and policies. The General Plan Housing Element for the 2023-2031 planning period was adopted by the City Council on January 26, 2023 and revised and re-adopted on August 17, 2023. HCD certified the Housing Element on November 22, 2023. This annual report will be the second submitted for the 6th Cycle Housing Element, covering calendar year 2024.

DISCUSSION
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) – 2024 is attached for City Council review (Attachment 1). HCD has specific reporting requirements for the APR, including information contained in a series of standardized spreadsheet tables (completed tables are attached to this report). Various State housing laws adopted in 2020 and more recent years have added new data requirements for APRs that are reflected in this 2024 Housing Element APR as needed. Some of the newer standardized tables required by HCD, particularly Table A2, are difficult to print in a reader-friendly manner. Staff has attempted to make the tables as clear as possible and a link to PDF (electronic) copies is available on request.

In the past, HCD only required reporting on the number of housing unit permits issued in each reporting year. HCD now requires reporting on the number of applications submitted, housing

Page 91 of 348 ends

Page 2 of 5 ends

units entitled, housing unit permits issued, and housing permits finaled during the year, including the type of units (single-family, multifamily, etc.), and their affordability categories (very low-, low-, moderate- and above moderate-income). HCD additionally requires information about residential lot splits and housing development units created with the provisions of SB 9. Table B of Attachment 1, shown below, is a summary that tracks building permits issued for each year of the 6th Cycle Housing Element’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) period (2023-2031).

1. Applications Deemed Complete

In 2024, the City deemed complete three applications for the construction of 54 new housing units that are either approved, pending approval, or withdrawn. These applications are summarized below:

Application Type Number of
Above
Moderate Units
Number of
Low Income
Units
Notes
Detached Single-
Family Residential
39 0 Includes 33 units from Lester
(10807 Dublin Canyon Road)
and 6 units from Safreno (4212
First Street). Note that the
Safreno application has since
been withdrawn.

Attached Single-
Family Residential
15 0 Includes 15 units from
Barone’s (493 Saint John
Street).

Total 54 0

2. Building Permits Issued and Finaled
In 2024, building permits were issued for 121 new residential housing units (3 single-family homes, 36 ADUs, 32 townhomes, and 50 apartments). 29 residential units under construction were finaled (15 single-family homes and 14 ADUs).

Of the building permits that were issued in 2024, 13 are for very low-income housing, 28 are for low-income housing, 35 are for moderate-income housing, and 45 are for above-moderate- income housing (see table below). The 121 building permits issued in 2024 is a significant increase on the number issued in 2023 (18 units). The Avalon Bay project accounts for the 51 deed-restricted very-low, low and moderate units; the remaining 25 affordable units are ADUs.

Per HCD, ADUs can be counted as non-deed restricted affordable units with the following ratio: 10 percent very low-income, 30 percent low-income, 30 percent moderate-income, and 30 percent above moderate-income for the 2024 APR. The affordability levels for ADUs for future APRs will be based on a survey the City is currently conducting.

The table titled Permitted Units Issued by Affordability summarizes RHNA progress in the current cycle (2023-2031) (also provided asTable B in the APR). The City has produced (i.e., issued building permits for) a total of 175 units so far within the current eight-year cycle (2023-

Page 92 of 348 ends

Page 3 of 5 ends

2031). The table includes a column for the projection period between June 30, 2022 - January 30, 2023, as units that were permitted after June 30, 2022 are included in the current RHNA cycle. Although production has trended upward, the first two years of the Housing Element Cycle have yielded less than three percent of the City’s total RHNA target.

Current Cycle (2023-20231) RHNA Progress

Based on the existing market demand and approvals/entitlements issued in the past year and pending, staff expects the City will issue a greater number of permits in 2024 as compared to 2023. Projects expected to begin construction include the 55-unit 3200 Hopyard Road project, and the 42-unit 2025 Santa Rita Road project, both townhome developments. Staff is also optimistic that permits will be issued for the remaining 284 apartment units at Avalon Bay, where a portion of the project is already under construction. In addition, the number of ADUs is anticipated to remain consistent over the next year. Despite these general trends, high interest rates, ongoing construction cost increases and potential tariffs may affect housing production, and it is difficult to predict whether the City will see a slow-down or increase in new housing construction.

3. Progress on Housing Programs
Table D includes a status update on the 54 programs to be implemented during the 6th cycle period. The Housing Element programs provide actionable steps to implement the City’s goals and to further the City’s progress toward meeting its housing allocation. Some programs contain quantified objectives, which refer to the number of units that are expected to be constructed, preserved, or rehabilitated through the program during the planning period.

These quantified objectives represent measurable outcomes that can be used to benchmark the success of each program. This Housing Element contains institutional changes intended to significantly increase the amount and type of housing for all income levels in Pleasanton.

Significant progress has been made on many programs, including the following:
• Program 1.3: Adopt zoning standards consistent with the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Transit Oriented Development (TOD). In 2023, the City adopted Objective Design Standards consistent with the provisions of AB 2923. The City also has submitted for and received nomination for MTC/ABAG’s Priority Sites Program, rezoned the site to be consistent with the 6th Cycle Housing Element, and in 2025 has commenced concept planning for the site with BART and a consulting project team.

Page 93 of 348 ends

Page 4 of 5 ends

• Program 1.7: Facilitate the development of major sites. In December 2023, the City Council approved the Stoneridge Mall Framework Components, which outlined how housing allowed under the 6th Cycle Housing Element was to be allocated among the four property mall owners and six parcels at Stoneridge mall. It also defined a Vision Statement, Guiding Principles, and a series of Design and Placemaking Elements to be reflected in a future Framework Plan. The intent of the document is to provide guidance for any subsequent efforts related to the comprehensive, long-range planning of the mall. Since approval of the framework, the City has met with the Stoneridge mall property owners to discuss existing conditions and constraints, understand each owner's development interests and priorities, assess key issues to be identified as part of a master planning effort, and discuss elements of the next steps. • Program 2.1: Update to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, which was adopted by the City Council on December 3, 2024.
• Program 2.3: Review the Lower-Income Housing Fee for market-rate residential development, including consideration of adjustments to the fee within the amounts supportable by the existing Nexus Study to ensure the fee reflects the cost to mitigate demand for new affordable housing created by new development. The City initiated work on a comprehensive update of the commercial linkage fee, affordable housing in- lieu fee, and development impact fees in December 2023. The study included feasibility analysis and analysis to consider assessing fees on a per square foot basis. The updated fees based on the study, structured to include per square foot fee rates, were adopted in December 2024.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
This is an informational report and not a project as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; therefore, no environmental assessment is required.

EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Housing Element advances equity by planning for and accommodating enough housing across all income levels, and provides the City with an opportunity to assess its housing needs and to develop policies and actions that effectively respond to those needs.

OUTREACH
Not applicable, as this is a routine matter of City business.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the strategic goal of Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs of the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan as it directly supports Strategy 6 - Implement the Housing Element as completion of this report implements Housing Element Programs 1.2 and 4.1.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with adoption of the resolution approving the Annual Progress Report.
