Open Time for Public Expression
Mr. Caccor, Island Drive, stated there is a cell phone tower behind his house that is being modified. He wanted to know if the work is being done according to the correct policies and permits.

Carol stated there would be a greater level of interest in this tower if more people became aware of the proposed work.

An individual discussed Councilmember Colbert’s campaign for the Board of Supervisors position and he recommended more of a focus on racial equity.

Andrew Jarduss discussed the expansion of the cell site at 2 Red Hill Avenue. He noted some errors in the administrative decision.

1. Council Business Items

1.1 Receive an Informational Report on the Potential Impacts of the “Withdrawal of San Anselmo from Flood District Initiative” and Consider Calling a Regular or Special Election to Place the Initiative on the Ballot, and Finding the Actions Exempt from CEQA Town Attorney Acevedo presented the staff report. Staff answered questions from the Council regarding whether the proponents have submitted their “Argument in Favor”; Council options in terms of Arguments and Rebuttals; the ranking of Arguments; the amount of paperwork for both Arguments and Rebuttals; who can submit Arguments in Opposition; the Town Attorney’s Impartial Analysis; the Cooperation Agreement signed April, 2020 between the Town and the district; the termination of the Lease in September, 2022; clauses regarding maintenance; the impact to debts and obligations should the Town withdraw from the district; language regarding “withdrawal parcels of land” vs. “withdrawal of the Town of San Anselmo”; if the proponents are aware the withdrawal will probably not release property owners from debts and obligations; if the Council needs to decide tonight whether or not to do a Ballot Argument.

Mayor Burdo opened the meeting to public comments.
7 2
Carol referred to the staff report, Attachment 1, and offered a different opinion. The district has delivered a project that is in direct conflict with the funding agreement between the district and the Town. The district has breached the contract and the Town is released from the duty to pay fees.

Mr. Steve Emory, San Francisco Boulevard, pointed out that a number of flood control projects were taken off the table including the Red Hill Detention Basin, Phoenix Lake, and Deer Park School. This initiative is a symbolic gesture whether residents continue to pay the fee or not.

Mr. Ford Greene stated the initiative shines a spotlight on the County’s waste and misconduct in implementing flood control in San Anselmo. The initiative is a symbolic protest of the County’s closure of Creek Park Plaza by putting it “in jail” against a majority of engineering reports concluding that it is safe to use.

Mr. Jeff Kroot stated the 2007 ballot measure was sold through “false advertising”. Property owners are tired of paying $153 per year for nothing. Demolishing the plaza will guarantee that the Town will get sued by downstream property owners should flooding occur.

Mr. Paul Chignell, Rivera Street, agreed with Mr. Kroot- the outpouring of support for this initiative was overwhelming. He asked the Council to remove the Town from the flood fee.

Mr. Ross Asselstine, San Anselmo Avenue, discussed the opportunity for the Council to vote on “for” or “against” the initiative.

Ms. Ann Politzer, Brookside Drive, commended staff on the quality of the report. The County has been opaque on what is going on with respect to the removal of Building Bridge 2. The plan has changed- the baffle is not happening, the Winship Bridge in Ross is staying, and the hydrological model has been recalibrated.

Ms. Fran Farmer, Laurel Avenue, stated residents should be able to weigh in and decide on how tax dollars are spent. This project is a boondoggle with no end in sight.

Mr. Adrian McNeal, Sycamore Avenue, stated he was directly affected by the flood in 2021.

Flooding is a risk that cannot be handled locally. He urged the Council to place the measure on the General Election ballot and hold public forums during the summer of 2024 to discuss the pros and cons of leaving the district.

Mayor Burdo closed the meeting to public comments.

Vice Mayor Burke stated the initiative should go on the March ballot- she did not want to wait a year. The issue has been discussed around Town for quite a while. She would be in favor of the Council submitting an “Argument in Favor”.

Councilmember Kullaway was concerned that the issue is being conflated with Creek Park and that the March date would not allow them to provide enough information. Residents need to know that the SAFR project is moving forward regardless.

Councilmember Colbert stated the proponents of the measure are aware that if San Anselmo votes to withdraw from the district it will not eliminate the need for property owners to pay the fee. This is symbolic at best and potentially misleading to voters. Portions of the mitigation projects are due to be completed this summer. Placing the measure on the November ballot would provide voters with more clarity on the issue.
8 3
Councilmember Fineman stated most of the public comments made tonight do not reflect the nature of what will be voted on. She agreed this is a symbolic vote- it will not save the plaza, will not stop the project, and will not relieve the flood fee. She supports putting the initiative on the March ballot.

Vice Mayor Burke stated they will be in the district for three more years but will not have the liability for any new projects. It is not just symbolic and is not simply about the plaza. There is a concern that Flood Zone 9 is not a model that works compared to the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA). It rocks!
Mayor Burdo stated tonight’s decision is when to put this on the ballot, whether to issue an Argument, and the language. He supports putting the initiative on the March ballot and he did not see cost as a huge barrier. Public debate should occur during a campaign. He stated the Council should not issue any Argument.

Vice Mayor Burke suggested the following language: “Shall an initiative measure be adopted to withdraw the Town of San Anselmo including all parcels of land in the Town from the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Zone 9”.

M/s, Burke/Kullaway, Motion to adopt the Resolution with the language recommended by Vice Mayor Burke.

AYES: Burke, Fineman, Kullaway, Mayor Burdo
NOES: Colbert
M/s, Fineman/Burke, Motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:25 p.m.

Open Time for Public Expression
Mr. Ross Asselstine, San Anselmo Avenue, discussed a potential unfortunate situation- the biggest change to the creek in 50 years. He recommended that the Flood Administrator, in the event there is no FEMA “backstop”, looks at the structure of risk how it relates to approval of a permit. When something goes wrong, everybody gets sued.

Mr. Guy Myers discussed lowering the cost of permits in Town and the Reimagine Plans for Creek Park. He would like to see the lightest possible impact.

Ms. Rosanne DalBello discussed the four components that could lead to the demise of the vitality of the downtown business sector. They are: 1) Keeping the parklets, 2) Destroying the platform and killing the Redwoods; 3) The unavailability of Creek Park in the summer; 4) Approving creek construction for seven days a week.

Council requests for future agenda items; Committee liaison reports; questions and comments to staff; miscellaneous items

Councilmember Fineman reported she attended the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA) meeting; the Ross Valley Fire Board meeting; the event in celebration of Peri’s Art Supply; the CAC meeting; the Hanukkah Event; she asked staff to agendize the progress with respect to well monitoring. Town Manager Donery stated staff would report back soon.

Mayor Burdo reported he attended the Tree Lighting Celebration; the Menorah Lighting; discussed the results of the recent Ross Valley Fire Board meeting.

Town Manager Donery reported that the Memorial Park Parking Lot Project is almost finished.

MEETING DATE: January 9, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Work Plan Priorities Progress Report
FROM: Administration
RECOMMENDATION: Receive progress report on 2023-25 priorities work plan.

SUMMARY
Town Council adopted the 2023-25 final work plan priorities at their June 27, 2023, meeting. Council historically requested regular progress reports to assist in staying informed about work plan priorities. Council expressed the desire to continue receiving said regular updates.

BACKGROUND
Department Heads gathered at a retreat in January 2023, to begin crafting the work plan priorities for 2023-25. The draft work plan was introduced to Town Council at their March 28 meeting. Feedback, including potential additions to the proposed work plan was requested at the following Council meetings (April 11 and April 25). Council reviewed and discussed the work plan priorities at their May 5, 2023, retreat. Council members presented eight additional submissions which were considered for inclusion in the plan. Council accepted two for integration. The final work plan priorities were organized by department in Attachment 1 and by category in Attachment 2.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff designed a reporting mechanism organized by Department to track progress for each priority. A percent figure is assigned to most priorities to introduce a certain measure of objectivity. A detailed narrative may follow. Reporting will occur at 6-month intervals over the course of the two-year work plan. Attachment 3 is the first progress report for the 2023-25 work plan priorities.

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #:1.5
MEETING DATE: January 9th, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution for CalRecycle Payment and Grants Program
FROM: Matthew Ferrer
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council approve the resolution authorizing submittal of application for CalRecycle payment program, The Beverage Container Recycling program for which the Town is eligible.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is authorized to administer various payment programs and grants in furtherance of the State of California’s efforts to reduce recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the state, thereby preserving landfill capacity, and protecting public health and safety, as well as the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Over the years the Town has participated in the annual $5,000 payment program through CalRecycle to place and replace recycling and garbage can sets on public streets and in our parks. CalRecycle is now requiring the approval of a resolution as part of the process.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY:

The Goals and Objective of the grant provided by CalRecycle is to reach and maintain an 80 percent recycling rate for all California Refund Value beverage containers. Projects funded by The Beverage Container and Recycling Program will continue the goals of CalRecylce as well as the General Plan for the Town of San Anselmo will continue. The approval for submittal of application will ensure that the Town of San Anselmo can be a recipient of The Beverage Container Recycling program and can further minimize the environmental impact on the Town caused by beverage containers.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY:

The proposed adoption of the resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the “common sense” exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant negative effect on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15061).

ATTACHMENT:

Attachment 1 - Draft Resolution
91 RESOLUTION NO. XXXX

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.1
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Zoning Ordinance Amendments to Title 10 (Planning and
Zoning) of the San Anselmo Municipal Code
FROM: Heidi Scoble, Planning Director
Lindsey Klein, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION:

1. That the Town Council hold a public hearing and consider the attached Zoning Ordinance Amendments to Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 3 “Land Use Regulations”, Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 4 “Development Standards”, Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 5, “Parking and Loading Regulations”, Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 15 “Design Review”, Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 17 “Definitions”, Title 10, Chapter 6, Article 2 “Procedures and General Requirements”, Title 10, Chapter 13 “Reasonable Accommodation”, and Title 10, Chapter 20 “Objective Design and Development Standards” and associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings (see Attachment 1).

2. Motion to read the attached Ordinance by title only. The Town Manager will read the full title of the Ordinance.

3. Motion to approve the first reading of the Ordinance Amendments and waive future readings in their entirety.

BACKGROUND
Over the past year, the Town has been working on an update to its Housing Element consistent with requirements under California State law. The Housing Element is one of seven mandated elements of the General Plan and must be updated every eight years to address existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the Town.

Unlike the other elements of the General Plan, the Housing Element must be certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). On December 12, 93 Item #: 2.1
2023, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4524 (see Attachment 3) to approve the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
1 To ensure compliance with State housing law and California Government Code Section 65860, which requires consistency between a local jurisdiction’s adopted general plan and zoning ordinance, the Town must amend Title 10 (Planning and Zoning) of the Municipal Code. In addition to the proposed amendments to comply with State housing law, Town staff identified updates to Title 10 to improve clarity, consistency, and usability of the standards within the Title.

On December 4, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider a recommendation to the Town Council to adopt these Zoning Ordinance Amendments to the Municipal Code and make the associated CEQA findings. After consideration of the record and discussion and deliberation, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2023-17 (see Attachment 4) to recommend the Town Council adopt the proposed amendments to Title 10 (Planning and Zoning) and to support of the CEQA findings.

DISCUSSION
The amendments reflected in Attachment 1 (Ordinance) and Attachment 2 (Proposed Objective Design and Development Standards) can be summarized as follows:

1. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 3 “Land Use Regulations” Section 10-3.302 “Land Use Regulations Table”, which prescribes the types of residential, commercial, infrastructure, and industrial uses that can be sited in a given zoning district. These amendments are proposed to:
a. Align with State housing law, specifically California Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).
b. Clarify the maximum allowed residential density for projects seeking project approval via the ODDS, in alignment with Actions 5.2a, 5.7b, 5.7c, 5.7d, and

5.7e in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
c. Correct inconsistencies between permitted versus conditionally permitted residential uses in the R-1-H and R-1-C Zones, in alignment with Action

3.1a in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
d. Simplify references to Footnote #3, which cites the Conditional Use Permit process in Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 13 of the Municipal Code. e. Replace “Animal Boarding” with “Pet Care (except Veterinary) Services”.

The land use term is consistent with the North American Industry 1 A detailed timeline of the Housing Element Update process and State review of the Housing Element can be reviewed in Attachment 1 (Ordinance).
94 Item #: 2.1
Classification System (NAICS) and includes uses such as pet boarding, grooming, sitting, walking, and training pets.

2. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 4 “Development Standards” Section 10-3.402 “Development Standards Table”, which prescribes the development standards, such as minimum and maximum development densities, for each zoning district. The amendment is proposed to align with State housing law, specifically California Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i), and California Government Code Section 65583, subdivision (c)(1).

3. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 5 “Parking and Loading Regulations” Section 10-3.502 “Parking standards”, which lists the minimum parking requirements for each use or activity in Table 5A. The proposed amendment would add restaurants and bars explicitly to Table 5A to the non-residential land use category requiring one parking space for each 100 gross square feet of building floor area.

Currently, there is no clear definition indicating how many parking spaces are required for a restaurant or bar use, so this amendment would clarify the Town’s parking requirements.

4. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 15 “Design Review” Section 10-3.1502 “Initiation of design review”, which prescribes the ways that the Town’s Design Review process may be originated, Section 10-3.1504 “Review of design review”, which identifies the appropriate review authority for different projects subject to the Design Review permit, Section 10-3.1505 “Projects subject to design review”, which lists the types of projects that trigger the Design Review permit, and Section 10-3.1506 “Required findings for design review”, which lists the requisite findings that must be met in order for the reviewing authority to approve a Design Review permit. Those amendments are proposed to:
a. Revise parking space regulations that conflict with State Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law and Title 10 Chapter 6, Accessory Dwelling Units, of the San Anselmo Municipal Code.
b. Align with State housing law, specifically California Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).
c. Allow the Planning Director to delegate their review authority to other designees (i.e., Planning Department staff).

5. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 17 “Definitions” Section 10-3.1702 “Definitions”, which include the definitions for terms used throughout the Municipal Code. The amendments are proposed to:
95 Item #: 2.1
a. Remove a duplicate definition of the word “hospital”. b. Update the definition of “basement” to remove an internal conflict with the existing definition of “story”.
c. Add definitions for “Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit” and “Common Wall” to clarify the difference between detached and attached ADUs in accordance with direction received at the August 21, 2023 Planning Commission meeting. d. Add a definition for “Kitchen” to ensure minimum standards for required appliances and features are understood and met by all.
e. Add definitions for “Conditionally Permitted Use” and “Permitted Use” to ensure conformance with State housing law, specifically California Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i).
f. Add definition for “Pet Care (except Veterinary) Service to correspond with Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 3, Land use Regulations, Table 4A.

6. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 6, Article 2 “Procedures and General Requirements” Section 10-6.202 “General Requirements for ADUs and JADUs”, which prescribes the standards that apply to all ADUs and JADUs approved by the Town. The amendments stipulate that:
a. A two-story Attached ADU is not allowed where the primary dwelling unit is only one story tall unless the primary dwelling unit is extended to include a second story to ensure that the second story of the Attached ADU is “attached” to the primary dwelling.
b. At least 50 percent of the common wall of the Attached ADU must be attached to the primary dwelling unit.

7. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 13 “Reasonable Accommodation” Section 10-13.06 “Findings, other requirements, and decision.”, which lists the findings that must be met in order to approve a request for reasonable accommodation. The amendment proposed would remove Finding 5 to conform with State law, which explicitly states the findings local jurisdictions may levy to grant or deny reasonable accommodations. This amendment implements Action 9.1e in the 2023-2031 Housing Element in compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

8. Amendments to Municipal Code Title 10, Chapter 20 “Objective Design and Development Standards” as summarized below:
a. Section 10-20.01.040, Applicability: Revise Item 3 to clarify for readers that the ODDS also apply to additions or modifications to structures previously approved under the San Anselmo Municipal Code.
96 Item #: 2.1
b. Table 10-20.03.020.A, Applicability of Development Site Requirements: Add conjunctions between rows in the table to add more clarity for readers. c. Section 10-20.08.030, Architectural Design Standards: Revise Item 3 to clarify that the regulation regarding architectural differentiation on wide parcels does not extend across property lines.
d. Table 10-20.11.030.A, Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Less Than 6% Slope: Add conjunctions between rows in the table to add more clarity for readers.
e. Table 10-20.11.030.B, Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Over 6% Slope:
a. Add conjunctions between rows in the table to add more clarity for readers. b. Move two sentences to the Required Finding column from the Allowed Administrative Relief column to accurately reflect the content as a requirement as opposed to an exception from the regulations. f. Section 10-20.12.030, Measurement Methods: Revise Item 1(B)(4) to clarify that the height being measured is the building height as opposed to the height of the development site.

FISCAL IMPACT
On May 10, 2022, the Town Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement with Houseal Lavigne to prepare the Housing Element, Safety Element, and related environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a total not-to-exceed cost of $283,453, $37,000 of which has been set aside for contingencies. To date, $223,434 of the allocated funds related to the costs to prepare the Housing Element, Safety Element, CEQA analysis, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance text and map amendments have been expended. In the summer of 2023, the Town received a $20,000 Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant that has been applied to the contract, thus reducing the anticipated General Funds costs to $203,244.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
As summarized in the proposed Ordinance (see Attachment 1), the proposed actions are determined to be consistent with the General Plan. Specifically, the proposed actions amend Titel 10 (Planning and Zoning) of the Municipal Code to be consistent with the 2023-2031 Housing Element and Land Use (LU) Element Goal 3, Goal 5, LU Principle 1, LU Policy 3.4, and LU Policy 11.2.

CEQA CONSISTENCY
An Initial Study was prepared for the Housing Element and associated Land Use Element amendments and Zoning Ordinance amendments (“project”). The Initial Study concluded that the project will not cause a significant effect on the environment, therefore a Negative Declaration was prepared consistent with Public Resources Code § 21080(c) and Guidelines § 15070 et seq. A Negative Declaration is a written statement that an Environmental Impact Report is not required because a project will not have a significant 97 Item #: 2.1
adverse impact on the environment. (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21064, 21080(c).) As such, as concluded in the Initial Study/Negative Declaration (filed under SCH# 2023060315), the document established that there is no substantial evidence in the environmental document/record that the adoption of the Housing Element and related General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments will have a significant effect on the environment for areas analyzed in the Initial Study and no mitigation measures are necessary to be implemented to avoid or reduce any potential impacts to a less-than-significant level.

The Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the Housing Element and associated amendments was certified by the Town as the Lead Agency via Resolution No. 2023- 4513 on July 25, 2023 pursuant to CEQA (see Attachment 5). A Notice of Determination was filed with the Office of Planning and Research and the Marin County Clerk on July 27, 2023 (see Attachment 6). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no supplemental or subsequent negative declaration is required because the final Housing Element and associated Zoning Ordinance amendments are consistent with the project scope analyzed by the Initial Study/Negative Declaration.

CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed amendments would provide enhanced consistency with the following Climate Action Plan 2030 measure:
• Action T-9: Smart Growth Development. Amending Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 3, Land Use Regulations, and Article 4 Development Standards to allow for infill, higher density development near transit and within walking distance to shopping, schools, and services.

HOUSING LAW AND CLARIFY OR SIMPLIFY EXISTING REGULATIONS WHEREAS, the California Legislature has found that “California has a housing supply and affordability crisis of historic proportions. The consequences of failing to effectively and aggressively confront this crisis are hurting millions of Californians, robbing future generations of the chance to call California home, stifling economic opportunities for workers and businesses, worsening poverty and homelessness, and undermining the State’s environmental and climate objectives.” (Government Code section 65589.5); and
WHEREAS, the Legislature has further found that “Among the consequences of those actions are discrimination against low-income and minority households, lack of housing to support employment growth, imbalance in jobs and housing, reduced mobility, urban sprawl, excessive commuting, and air quality deterioration.” (Government Code section 65589.5); and WHEREAS, the Legislature has adopted the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) which states that “In 2018, California ranked 49th out of the 50 states in housing units per capita…California needs an estimated 180,000 additional homes annually to keep up with population growth, and the Governor has called for 3.5 million new homes to be built over 7 years.”; and WHEREAS, State Housing Element Law (Government Code section 65580 et seq.) requires that the Town of San Anselmo (“Town”) adopt a Housing Element for the eight-year period of 2023-2031 to accommodate the Town’s regional housing need allocation (“RHNA”) of 833 housing units comprised of 253 very-low income units, 145 low-income units, 121 moderate-income units, and 314 above moderate-income units; and
WHEREAS, in June 2022, the Town hired a consultant, formed a Housing Element Advisory Committee (HEAC), and began working diligently towards an update to the Housing Element that is consistent with California State law; and
WHEREAS, after extensive community outreach in 2022, the HEAC, Planning Commission, and Town Council all reviewed the Draft Housing Element prior to submitting the document to HCD for the State’s 90-day review on January 26, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on April 26, 2023, August 1, 2023, and October 26, 2023, the Town received Housing Element review letters from HCD requiring additional analysis in the Housing Element prior to State certification, and, in response, the Town submitted duly-noticed revised drafts of the Housing Element to HCD on June 2, 2023, August 30, 2023, and December 1, 2023 in an attempt 99 Attachment 1
to address those comments and receive a notice of compliance with housing law from the State; and
WHEREAS, on August 22, 2023, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 1179 amending Title 10 (Planning and Zoning) of the San Anselmo Municipal Code and the Zoning Map and made the associated CEQA findings to proactively incorporate the changes prescribed in the 2023-2031 Housing Element and address State housing law; and

(1) New dwellings;
(2) Any second story or higher additions; and
(3) Any additions (which include deck and stairway structures, except those located on the uphill side of the dwelling) greater than five hundred (500) square feet in size. For purposes of determining additions, pre-existing development that will be replaced in kind, will not be counted toward the five hundred (500) square feet, where such replacement involves no material change in visual effect due to identical size and identical or similar materials, design, and colors. Additions constructed after February 26, 1991, will be looked at cumulatively, henceforth, so that when the five hundred (500) square foot limit is triggered by the sum of all additions, design review will be required.

For purposes of making the above determinations, pre-existing development that will be replaced in kind shall not be counted where such replacement involves no material change in visual effect due to identical size and identical or similar design. Additions include decks, roof decks, and stairway structures. Demolition and a fifty (50%) percent building increase performed after March 24, 2009, will be looked at cumulatively, henceforth, so that when the limit is triggered by the sum of all the work performed, design review will be required.

(3) All ADUs that are permitted on or after January 1, 2025 require owner occupancy as a place permanent residence. Owner-occupancy shall not be required if the owner is another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization. (4) All JADUs require owner occupancy as a place of permanent residence.

Attachment 1
(g) Fees and Utility Connections.
(1) Impact Fees. No impact fee is allowed for an ADU that is less than seven hundred fifty (750) square feet. For purposes of this subparagraph "impact fee" means a "fee" under California Government Code section 6600(b), except that it also includes fees specified in Government Code section 66477. "Impact fee" does not include any connection fee or capacity charge charged by a local agency, special district, or water corporation. Any impact fee required for an ADU that is seven hundred fifty (750) square feet or larger must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (2) Utility Connections and Fees.
(A) An ADU shall not be considered by a local agency, special district, or water corporation to be a new residential use for purposes of calculating connection fees or capacity charges for utilities, including water and sewer service, unless the ADU unit was constructed with a new single-family dwelling. For purposes of providing service for water, sewer, or power, including a connection fee, a JADU shall not be considered a separate or new dwelling unit.
(B) For a unit described in Section 10-6.103(b) of this chapter, a local agency, special district, or water corporation shall not require the applicant to install a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility, or impose a related connection fee or capacity charge, unless the ADU was constructed with a new singlefamily dwelling. (C) For a unit not described in Section 10-6.103(b) of this chapter a local agency, special district, or water corporation may require a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility.

Consistent with California Government Code section 66013, the connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed ADU, based upon either its square feet or the number of its drainage fixture unit (DFU) values, as defined in the Uniform Plumbing Code, adopted and published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, upon the water or sewer system. This fee or charge shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service.
(h) Adequate Services.

The property must have existing or future legal access to these utilities.
(i) Building and Safety; Nonconformities.
(1) All ADUs and JADUs shall comply with all applicable building, fire, safety and environmental regulations including Title 9 Building Regulations, Title 6, Chapter 8, Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention and Title 7, Chapter 12, Watercourses unless otherwise provided for in this chapter or as required by State law. 118

Nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to prevent the Town from changing the occupancy code of a space that was unhabitable space or was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use pursuant to this section.
(3) The Town shall not require the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions as a condition of approval for an ADU or JADU.
(4) The Town shall not deny an application to create an ADU or JADU due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the unit.
(j) No Passageways. No passageway shall be required in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or JADU.
(k) Fire Sprinklers. The installation of fire sprinklers shall not be required in an ADU if sprinklers are not required for the primary residence. The construction of an ADU shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in an existing primary dwelling or an existing multifamily dwelling, as applicable. (l) Unpermitted Accessory Dwelling Units.
(1) Notwithstanding any other law, and except as otherwise provided in subdivision (2) below, the Town shall not deny an application for an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, due to either of the following:
(A) The ADU is in violation of building standards pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 17960) of Chapter 5 of Part 1.5 of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code.
(B) The ADU does not comply with Government Code section 65852.2 or any local ordinance regulating ADUs.
(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (1), the Town may deny an application for an ADU subject to subdivision (1) if the Town makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the structure.
(3) The section shall not apply to a building that is deemed substandard pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.
(m)Detached Garage Demolition. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU shall be reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time. The applicant shall not be required to provide written notice or post a placard for the demolition of a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU, unless the property is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
119
Attachment 1
(n) Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction shall be recorded against the title of the property in the Marin County Recorder's office subject to the approval of the Town Attorney as to form and content, containing a reference to the deed under which the property was acquired by the owner and stating that:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in California Government Code section 65852.26, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. (2) The ADU or JADU is restricted to the maximum approved size and to other attributes allowed by this chapter.
(3) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
(4) The ADU and/or JADU may be occupied by or rented to a separate household living independently from the occupant(s) of the primary residence; provided, that the terms for separate occupancy of the accessory unit and/or primary unit shall be longer than thirty (30) days.
(o) Flood Regulations. An attached or detached ADU located in a designated floodplain shall comply with all applicable floodplain requirements in San Anselmo Municipal Code Title 7, Chapter 11. For sites within a Flood Hazard Area on the adopted Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map, the finished floor of an ADU shall be elevated at least one (1) foot above the Base Flood Elevation as "new construction" under Title 7, Chapter 11, Protection of Flood Hazard Areas, even if the project would not be considered a "substantial improvement". The applicant shall submit an Elevation Certificate based on construction drawings with the building permit plans and a final Elevation Certificate shall be required prior to project final. (p) Urban Lot Splits and Two-Unit Housing Development. Pursuant to the authority granted in Government Code section 65852.21(f) no ADU or JADU shall be permitted on any lot in a single-family zoning district if: 1) an urban lot split has been approved pursuant to Government Code section 66411.7; and 2) a two-unit housing development has been approved for construction pursuant to Government Code section 65852.21. (q) Prior conditions not applicable. This chapter supersedes any Town conditions on existing ADUs that comply with this chapter, including owner occupancy or rent control, that were imposed as conditions of approval on ADUs that the Town approved prior to the effective date of this chapter if the conditions would not apply under current regulations. The Planning Director is authorized to void recorded deed restrictions for ADUs that comply with this chapter at the request of a property owner.

SECTION 11: Ordinance Amendment. The following changes and amendments are made to San Anselmo Municipal Code Section 10-13.06 (Findings, other requirements, and decision.):

(1) Whether the housing that is the subject of the request will be used by an individual considered disabled under the Acts.
120
Attachment 1
(2) Whether the request for reasonable accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual with a disability under the Acts. (3) Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the Town.
(4) Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a Town program, policy, practice and/or regulation, including but not limited to land use or zoning.

10-20.01.010 Purpose
This Form-Based Code (FBC) sets forth the objective design and development standards applicable to housing developments which qualify under California State law for streamlined review and is consistent with objectives of the San Anselmo General Plan to facilitate housing production and preserve the highly valued character and scale of the Town's walkable centers, neighborhoods, and corridors. 10-20.01.020 What is a Form-Based Code?
Form-Based Coding (FBC) represents a paradigm shift in the way that the built environment is regulated. The formal short definition of a FBC is as follows:

Form-Based Codes foster predictable built results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. These codes are adopted into city or county law as regulations, not mere guidelines. Form-Based Codes are an alternative to conventional zoning. -Form-Based Codes Institute
Unlike conventional, use-based codes, FBCs utilize the intended form and character, rather than use as the organizing framework of the code. This FBC is informed by the three physical context types found in San Anselmo: Natural, Walkable, and Auto-Oriented Suburban. FBCs implement the key characteristics that comprise the physical character of different areas (place types) documented across the community. Further, FBCs regulate a series of important elements not just to create a good individual building, but a high-quality place. The terminology in FBCs reflects the intended physical form and hierarchy of different places. For example, instead of a zone being labeled "commercial" or "mixed use," it might be called "main street." The term "main street" ties back to the intended physical form or place, which includes a mix of uses, civic spaces, streets, frontages, and building types that create walkable urbanism.

It is also important to note that while FBCs primarily regulate the intended physical form, they regulate use secondarily. FBCs allow a range of uses that are carefully chosen to maximize compatibility between uses and the intended physical form of the zone. The use-tables in a FBC are simplified and categorized by use-type, and clearly defined, to allow a greater degree of administrative decision-making related to particular uses.

10-20.01.030 Guiding Principles
The FBC is guided by the following principles in implementing the San Anselmo General Plan:

1. Across the Town, the FBC:

A. Provides clear and effective development standards that allow for streamlined review processes and the predictable production of housing;
B. Supports a diversity of housing choices appropriate to their location; C. Ensures appropriately-scaled infill development;
D. Reinforces and enhances community design and character in support of the community's vision with: a variety of neighborhoods; main street areas as the cultural and commercial heart of the community; and neighborhoods with centers along pleasant and convenient corridors that interconnect the Town;
E. Removes barriers to revitalization and reinvestment through clear, objective, and context-sensitive standards;
F. Ensures that each building plays a role in creating a better whole, not just a good building; and G. Promotes development patterns that support safe, effective, and multi-modal transportation options for all users and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Within the Downtown area, the FBC:

A. Reinforces the main street as a cultural and commercial destination accommodating appropriatelyscaled infill housing, mixed-use, and cultural development compatible with existing historic buildings; and
B. Facilitates transitions from single-use areas to mixed-use employment centers that are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods and public access.

3. Within residential neighborhoods, the FBC:

A. Protects the character of established neighborhoods and builds upon and reinforces the unique physical characteristics of the Town's walkable neighborhoods; B. Supports new walkable neighborhood patterns through new networks of well-designed multi-modal streets that are safe for pedestrians and cyclists; and C. Promotes neighborhoods with quality housing and diverse, context-sensitive housing choices.

4. Along major transportation corridors, the FBC:

A. Promotes a variety of housing choices;
B. Promotes small local businesses as an important part of the Town's economy; C. Promotes incremental infill and revitalization;
D. Reinforces neighborhood main streets as centers to continue as social and commercial focal points, with services and amenities for the surrounding neighborhoods located within a safe, comfortable walking distance of homes;
E. Balances pedestrian comfort and place-making with traffic efficiency; and F. Promotes and accommodates high-quality community design. 2 Introduction

Town of San Anselmo Objective Design and Development Standards Amended January 2024 10-20.01.050: Relationship to San Anselmo General Plan
139
10-20.02.010 Purpose
This Article establishes the form-based zones ("zones") to implement the San Anselmo General Plan. The zones are for the purpose of generating and supporting the variety and physical character of existing and new walkable environments.
10-20.02.020 Zones Established
This Section identifies the zones, based on the intended physical form and character of the environments.

These zones focus on mixed-use, walkable environments and range in function and intensity from primarily residential areas with a mix of moderate intensity neighborhoods (Neighborhood.Small and Neighborhood.

Medium), to moderate-intensity corridors (Main Street.Small).

10-20.02.030 Sub-Zones

1. Sub-zones are slight variations of the base zone (e.g., Neighborhood.Small), are development-sitespecific, and mapped on the Town of San Anselmo Objective Design and Development Standards Zone Map. The FBC includes one type of sub-zone:

A. Open. The open sub-zone is applied for either or both of the following purposes:
(1) To allow more uses than the base zone allows in specific areas but within the same form and character of the base zone (e.g., Neighborhood.Small), except that sometimes additional frontages and signage are allowed within the same form and character of the base zone; and/or (2) To more easily allow certain uses that are already allowed in the base zone. In this way, the open sub-zone can provide additional flexibility to development sites located at or near intersections that function or are intended to function as a neighborhood node of non-residential uses. 10-20.02.040 Zone Map
The zones established in this Section are mapped on the Town of San Anselmo Objective Design and Development Standards Zone Map. When any of these zones are applied, the Zone Map shall be updated to reflect such changes.

10-20.03.010 Purpose
This Article provides zones and standards to implement the San Anselmo General Plan to generate and support the variety of physical character of the intended development. 10-20.03.020 General Requirements

1. The FBC uses three form-based zone districts to regulate and generate the intended physical character.

Each zone district ("zone") regulates the foollowing eight topics:

A. Intent: the intended physical character and range of uses; B. Sub-zones: whether or not a sub-zone applies, allowing a broader list of building types and/or frontage types in specific geographic areas;
C. Building type and development site size: the menu of allowed building types and the associated minimum site dimensions.

D. Building form: the maximum overall building height, minimum ground floor height, and maximum building footprint (coverage);
E. Building placement: the minimum to maximum building setbacks and requirements for façade design;
F. Encroachments: allowed encroachments into required setbacks; G. Parking: the required location and design requirements for parking and vehicle access; and H. Frontages: the menu of allowed frontage types required at building entries along thoroughfares and public/common open spaces.

2. Parcels that vary in width or depth shall be measured using the average width and/or depth to apply the standards of this Article.

3. Development standards in this Article apply to primary buildings.

4. For parcels located in the 100 year floodplain, except within the Historic Core as identified on the Town of San Anselmo Objective Design and Development Standards Zone Map, overall maximum height is the sum of the Base Flood Elevation plus 12 inches plus the maximum overall height allowed by the zone.

5. Individual building types have specific standards in Article 6 (Specific to Building Types) in addition to the zone standards to further calibrate each type for its context.

6. Facade Zone
A. Each building type is required to be placed on the parcel in compliance with the requirements for facade zone defined by primary building/frontage in Subsection 5 of the zone.

B. Facades are allowed to be in any configuration if in compliance with the facade zone requirements and the selected architectural style.

C. In the Cottage Court and Pocket Neighborhood building types, only the front most building(s) are subject to the facade zone requirements except for the minimum length (percentage) in Subsection 5 of the zone.

D. In the Neighborhood Courtyard type, the front most portions of the building are subject to the facade zone requirements except for the minimum length (percentage) in Subsection 5 of the zone.

7. Encroachments at grade not allowed within a street ROW, alley ROW, or across a development site line.

8. On-Site Parking
A. Bicycles may be parked anywhere on development site, in compliance with pedestrian and vehicular access standards.

B. Driveways may be shared between adjacent development sites but shall not exceed maximum allowed width.

C. Front access not allowed on corner development sites, except where side street access cannot be provided.

10-20.06.010 Purpose
This Article provides the standards for development of individual building types to achieve the intended physical character of each zone, offer housing choices and affordable housing opportunities, and incubate small businesses as amenities within walkable neighborhoods. 10-20.06.020 Building Types

1. Building types are used to articulate size, scale, and intensity according to the intent of each zone.

2. Building types are categorized into two groups: House-Scale Buildings and Block-Scale Buildings. See Figure 1 (Example of House-Scale and Block-Scale Buildings) for examples.

A. House-Scale Buildings. Buildings that are the size of a house, typically ranging in footprint from as small as 25 feet up to 80 feet overall; and
B. Block-Scale Buildings. Buildings that are individually as large as most or all of a block or, when arranged together along a street, appear as long as most or all of a block.

3. The development site size standards for each building type are set in each zone to generate pedestrianoriented buildings within the overall intended physical character of each zone. The development site size standard identifies the range of development site sizes on which the given building type is allowed to be built.

4. Certain building types have additional standards beyond the zone standards to further calibrate the type for its context.

5. Each development site shall have only one primary building type, except as follows, and in compliance with all standards:

A. Where allowed by the zone, one Ancillary Building (Section 10-20.06.040) is allowed in addition to the primary building type;
B. The Cottage Court (Section 10-20.06.080) may consist of up to nine individual buildings; C. The Pocket Neighborhood (Section 10-20.06.120) may consist of up to 10 individual buildings; and

6. In N.S-O and MS.S, detached buildings are allowed to be connected in compliance with the following:

A. The connection is at least 30 feet behind the building façade nearest to the street; B. The area of connection is at least 15 feet and up to 30 feet wide; C. The building façade nearest to the street is in compliance with the required façade zone; D. Upper story connections are at least 10 feet above the finished grade of the building and at least 13 feet, 6 inches above if the area below accommodates vehicle access.

7. On-site open space. The standards identify only the required type (private or common) and amount. For example, if the type only has standards for private open space, common open space is not required for that building type. The identified amount is for the entire building unless specified otherwise.

8. Parking may be designed as tuck-under, detached garage(s), podium or subterranean, in compliance with the zone standards for parking placement.

9. Wings are allowed for certain building types to allow an increase in building square footage without increasing the maximum allowed footprint of the main body.

A. Wings are required to be smaller in footprint, one story less and 10 feet less to highest eave/parapet than the main body to visually reduce the overall size of a building.

B. The building type standards specify the amount that wings are required to be offset from the main body so that their facades are not aligned.

C. Wing offset from Main Body required only on all facades.

D. Wings may be the same number of stories and height as the main body when a density bonus is applied to the building.

10. The maximum number of units identified for each building type is dependent on the development site being large enough to accommodate the zone's standards (e.g., parking).

11. Individual designs may vary from the diagrams for each building type in compliance with the standards of this Article and Article 8 (Specific to Architectural Design).

12. New buildings and their improvements are subject to the Town's local standards for Fire Safety including the Wildland Urban Interface Code and Building Safety.

10-20.08.010 Purpose
This Article sets forth standards that supplement the zone standards to further refine the intended building form and physical character.
10-20.08.020 Applicability
Unless stated otherwise, all subsections within each architectural style ("style") identified in this Article apply to all facades of a building, including front facades, side street facades, side interior facades, and rear facades. 10-20.08.030 Architectural Design Standards
This Article contains architectural design standards for the four allowed styles. The standards for each style address a range of topics based on local architectural examples. The standards address the following aspects of individual building design: Roofs and roof pitch, eaves, cornices, walls, base of walls, dormers, openings and doors, storefronts, porches, and balconies.

1. Each building is required to be designed in compliance with one of the allowed architectural styles.

2. The architectural style standards are coordinated with the building types allowed by this FBC and the intended physical character of each zone.

3. Any facade greater than 75 feet in length along a street (public or private) or civic space shall include more than one architectural style, with a maximum 75 feet in length of any one style. This regulation does not apply across property lines.

4. Diagrams are for illustrative purposes only and do not constrain the expression of listed elements with respect to style. Only aspects keyed to standards listed in the tables are regulated.

1. Developments of at least three acres or at least 700 feet long or deep shall be designed per the following standards:

A. Developments of three acres or less, see Figure 1 [Walkable Neighborhood Plan Design Process Overview for Large Sites (1 to three acres)]; or
B. Developments over three acres, see Figure 2 [Walkable Neighborhood Plan Design Process Overview for Large Sites (Over three acres)]; and
C. Walkable Neighborhood Plan (WNP). Proposed development is required to include a Walkable Neighborhood Plan (WNP) in compliance with this Subsection that identifies the proposed and existing blocks, civic and open spaces, and streets within 1,500 linear feet of the proposed development.

WNPs shall include the information required in Section 10-20.10.030 (Walkable Neighborhood Plan).

2. Civic Space Required
A. Civic space shall be provided in compliance with Section 10-20.10.040 (General to Civic Space).

B. A minimum of 10 percent of the total development area, after subtracting street right-of ways, is required.

3. Streets. Streets are to be applied to create walkable neighborhoods with redundant routes for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation.

A. New streets are required to meet the standards in Ross Valley Fire Department Standard 210 (Roadway and Driveway Bridges), including maximum slope.

B. Required streets, indicated on the Zone Map or a Site Development Regulating Plan may be adjusted from their identified location by up to 100 feet in either direction.

C. The WNP shall identify the proposed street and block network.

D. Streets that pass from one zone to another may transition in their streetscape along the street's edges. For example, while a street within a more intense zone (e.g., MS.S) with retail shops may have wide sidewalks with trees in grates, it may transition to a narrower sidewalk with a planting strip within a less intense zone (e.g., N.S) with lower intensity residential building types.

4. Alleys
A. Existing alleys may be removed if street access is provided to the development sites on those blocks in compliance with the access standards of the zone.

B. Alleys may be added in compliance with Ross Valley Fire Department Standard 210 (Roadway and Driveway Bridges) and in compliance with Table A (Block Size Standards).

C. Development sites adjoining an alley and/or with a slope greater than six percent may be reduced in depth by up to 10 feet of the required depth. Rear setbacks may be reduced as allowed by Section 10-20.11.030 (Adjustment to Standards). Front setbacks shall not be reduced.

5. External Connectivity
A. The arrangement of streets shall provide for the alignment and continuation of existing or proposed streets into adjoining lands where the adjoining lands are undeveloped and intended for future development, or where the adjoining lands are undeveloped and include opportunities for such connections.

(1) Project Approval and Findings. The Planning Director shall approve the application if the Planning Director finds that the proposed development is compliant with all of the provisions contained in Government Code §65913.4(a) and all applicable objective standards, including objective subdivision standards.
(2) Conditions of Approval. The Planning Director may impose conditions of approval provided those conditions of approval are objective and broadly applicable to development within the Town.

G. Post-decision Procedures
(1) Subsequent Permits. Any necessary subsequent permits shall be issued on a ministerial basis subject to applicable objective standards; however, a commercial use located in a qualifying mixed-use project is subject to any additional Town permitting requirements and processes. If a public improvement is necessary to implement a development subject to this Section, and that public improvement is located on land owned by the Town, the Planning Director shall process any approvals needed as required by Government Code §65913.4(h)(3). (2) Post-Approval Modifications
(a) Post-Approval Modification Request. An applicant or the Town may request a modification to an approved development if that request is made prior to the issuance of the final building permit.
(b) Applicability of Objective Standards to Modifications. The Planning Director shall only apply objective standards in effect when the original application was submitted, except that objective standards adopted after the date of original submittal may be applied in any of the following instances:
i. The total number of residential units or total square footage of construction changes by 15 percent or more; or
ii. The total number of residential units or total square footage of construction changes by five percent or more, and it is necessary to subject the development to an objective standard beyond those in effect when the application was submitted in order to mitigate or avoid a specific adverse impact upon public health of safety, for which there is no feasible alternative method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid. iii. Objective building standards contained in Title 24 may be applied to all modifications. (c) Post-Approval Modification Review Timeframe and Decision. The Planning Director shall determine if the modification is consistent with objective planning standards and issue a decision on the applicant’s modification request within 60 days after submittal unless design review is required, in which case a decision shall be made within 90 days. (3) Expiration. An application approved consistent with this Section shall remain valid for three years; however, an application approval shall not expire if the development includes public investment in housing affordability, beyond tax credits, where 50 percent of the units are affordable to households making at or below 80 percent of the area median income consistent with Government Code §65913.4(f).
(4) Extension. At the discretion of the Planning Director, a one-year extension may be granted consistent with Government Code §65913.4(f)(3).

M. Compliance Review
(1) Scope of Review
(a) Housing Development with a Preliminary Application Submittal. A housing development for which a preliminary application was submitted shall only be subject to the ordinances, policies, and standards adopted and in effect when the preliminary application is submitted, except in the following circumstances:
i. A fee, charge, or other monetary exaction increase resulting from an automatic annual adjustment based on an independently published cost index that is referenced in the ordinance or resolution establishing the fee or monetary exaction. ii. A preponderance of the evidence in the record establishes that subjecting the housing development to an ordinance, policy, or standard beyond those in effect when the preliminary application was submitted is necessary to mitigate or avoid a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible alternative method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact. iii. Subjecting the housing development to an ordinance, policy, standard, or any other measure, beyond those in effect when the preliminary application was submitted is necessary to avoid or substantially lessen an impact consistent with CEQA. iv. The housing development has not commenced construction within 2.5 years following the date of the housing development’s final approval (as defined in Government Code §65589.5(o)(1)(D)).
v. The number of residential units or square footage of construction proposed changes by 20 percent or more, exclusive of any increase resulting from a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, or similar provision.
(b) Housing Development without a Preliminary Application Submittal. A housing development shall be subject to objective standards in effect when the application was deemed complete.

(4) Compliance Determination
(a) The Planning Director shall identify the specific standard(s) that the project does not comply with and provide an explanation of the reason(s) why the housing development is considered to be inconsistent or non-compliant with identified provisions and shall provide the written determination to the applicant.
(b) A housing development is considered in compliance with this FBC, and shall not require a Zoning Map Amendment, if the housing development complies with objective General Plan standards but the zoning for the housing development site is inconsistent with the General Plan.
(5) Limited Hearings/Meetings. If a housing development complies with applicable objective standards, the Town shall not conduct more than five public hearings (including continuances), workshops, or similar meetings after the full application is complete in connection with the approval of the housing development consistent with Government Code §65905.5.

N. Findings and Decision
(1) Findings
(a) If the proposed housing development complies with applicable objective General Plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, the Planning Director may only deny the housing development or conditionally approve the housing development at a lower density if the Planning Director makes written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record that:
i. The housing development would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the housing development is denied or conditionally approved at a lower density. A "specific, adverse impact" means a "significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the project was deemed complete"; and
ii. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact other than the denial of the housing development or conditional approval of the housing development at a lower density.
(b) If the housing development includes 20 percent of units affordable to very low or lowincome households, 100 percent of units affordable or moderate or middle income households, or an emergency shelter, the Planning Director shall approve the housing development unless the Planning Director makes written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as to at least one of the findings in Government Code §65589.5(d).
(2) Decision Timeframes. The Planning Director shall approve or deny the housing development within the following applicable period:
(a) 90 days from Environmental Impact Report certification; (b) 60 days from Environmental Impact Report certification for an affordable housing development consistent with Government Code §65950(a)(3); (c) 60 days from adoption of a Negative Declaration; or (d) 60 days from determination of CEQA exemption.

O. Post-Decision Procedures. Post-decision procedures for the required permit (full application) shall be followed provided those procedures do not conflict with applicable Government Code sections for housing developments (i.e., HAA, Government Code §65589.5). 192

10-20.11.030 Adjustments to Standards

1. Purpose. This Section is intended to allow for minor deviations from certain standards in this Title for specific situations that make compliance not possible because of the prescriptive nature of the standards.

2. Applicability. This Section applies to developments subject to Section 10-20.11.020 (Procedures). The Planning Director may grant an Adjustment for only the standards identified as follows:

A. Development sites less than 6% slope. See Table A (Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Less Than 6% Slope).

B. Development sites over 6% slope. See Table B (Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Over 6% Slope).

3. Procedures. Adjustment requests shall be reviewed and processed as follows:

A. The Adjustment shall be processed concurrently with the development involving the request(s) for adjustment(s). The adjustment request(s) shall be processed in compliance with the applicable procedures in Section 10-20.11.020 (Procedures); or
B. If the development for which an Adjustment is requested is beyond what is authorized in Table A (Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Less Than 6% Slope) and/or Table B (Adjustments to Standards for Development Sites Over 6% Slope), the adjustment will be processed only up to the amount authorized in these Tables.

C. Adjustment requests that involve any of the following features (i.e., historic building/feature, tree, rock outcrop, and/or utility infastructure) shall be accompanied by existing documentation identifying the feature(s).

D. Depending on the unique characteristics and dimensions of an individual parcel, it is possible that the full develoment potential of the zone may not be achieveable even after applying the allowed adjustments oin the Section.
