Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Receive and File the December 2024 Investment Report ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Monthly Reporting for the City of San Dimas investment of idle funds and cash condition.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Receive and file Investment and Cash Condition report for the month of December 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
It is the policy of the City of San Dimas to invest public funds in a manner that will provide an optimal combination of security and investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
The priority objectives of the City’s investment activities are as follows: Safety, liquidity and returns.
The City’s investment portfolio as of December 31, 2024 maintained liquid cash in the amount of $16,132,531.55 held between BMO Harris, the City and LAIF and the CALTRUST Liquidity Fund which amounts to just over 20% of the portfolio to provide the cash flow necessary for City payroll and operating expenditures as well as large capital project expenses and unforeseen emergencies that may occur come up throughout the year. The following chart displays the total investments and weighted average yield per investment category:
Receive and File the December 2024 Investment Report Page 2 For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
The City’s Banking Services Provider BMO Harris provides a fully collateralized checking account whose funds are used to make cash payments for City payroll and operational expenses. The city performs daily bank reconciliations to assure adequate cash is held in the checking account for upcoming expenditures. Cash held in the account earns income credits that accumulate at a rate of .75% which offsets banking service charges that are charged each quarter to the city. As of June 10, 2024, the City opened a collateralized money market account BMO Harris.
Petty Cash is held at City facilities for cashiering purposes and to reimburse small dollar expenditures between $0.01 and $50.00.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is considered a Local Agency Investment Pool and acts much like a money market account. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn without penalty.
The pool invests funds in short-term securities and can produce returns at rates like money markets but is considered more secure.
CALTRUST is a public agency that provides investment funds that are liquid, short term, and medium term. The assets held by CALTRUST are managed by State Street Global Advisors.
Since the City first invested with CALTRUST in August of 2010, buying into the Medium-Term Fund, the City has made various contributions throughout the years. As well as reinvested any accumulated interest earnings throughout the life of the fund.
In total the weighted average cost of investing in CALTRUST is $9.99. Currently due to increasing interest rates driving market rates down for assets already held, the share price of the fund as of 12/31/2024 was $9.80. Until interest rates decline to the point that share price would increase to $9.99 or above, the city would be recognizing a loss on sale. However, the City could pull out funds at any time if liquidity needs arose.
Beginning in the month of January 2024, the City opened a liquid fund with CALTRUST which is not subject to market rate adjustments due to the type of investments utilized. The fund yielded WEIGHTED AVG.

4.67% for the month of December, out yielding LAIF by .24%. The City intends to take advantage of the high yielding short term investments until yields are no longer inverted.
The City Treasurer also utilizes Brokers to purchase investment securities such as Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds), Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Negotiable CD’s.
The investment policy and California Government Code Section 53600.3 allows the City to invest 30% of its portfolio in Certificates of Deposit and 20% of its portfolio in Corporate Bonds through Brokers. U.S. Treasuries and Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds) have no investment limits.
The following is a breakdown of the total invested in each type of investment along with its percentage of the portfolio
:
Additionally, per the Investment Policy, the City has an established maturity matrix with the investment ranges as follows:
Maturity Range Guideline Portfolio Percentage
The Cities current investment maturity range is as follows:
The weighted average maturity for all City investments is 1.54 years, which is ideal in today’s rising interest rate environment. The short time to maturity of our investments will allow the city to reinvest the matured principal amounts into investments that are likely to be offered at higher yields.

For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Genevieve Amaro, Management Aide
Subject: Approve Resolution 2025-05, Annual Update of Parking Prohibitions on Certain City Streets
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The Annual Update of Parking Prohibitions include any changes or updates in parking prohibition signage or installation of red curb recommended by the Traffic Safety Committee.
The Traffic Safety Committee is an advisory committee that meets bimonthly to review traffic concerns in San Dimas. The Committee’s recommendations to parking prohibitions approved during the previous year are shown in bold within this Staff report. Staff is providing this report for Council’s review and approval of parking prohibition locations.
There will be additional adjustments brought forward to mitigate impacts from the Gold Line/A Line commuter parking at a later date. Upon Council approval the new changes will be incorporated into the annual Parking Prohibition Resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council:
• Approve Resolution 2025-05 to update locations of parking prohibitions.
FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal fiscal impact other than maintenance of red curbs and signs. Red Curbs are painted every 2 to 3 years and signs are typically replaced every 10 to 15 years.
BACKGROUND
The Traffic Safety Committee is an advisory committee that meets bimonthly to review concerns with respect to traffic in San Dimas. The Committee is comprised of City Staff, City Traffic Engineer, representatives from Bonita Unified School District and San Dimas Sheriff’s Station.

The fiscal impact is dependent on City Council action. The cost to convert one tennis court into four pickle ball courts is between $29,500 – $49,500. The final cost would depend on the City Council’s desire to install acoustic sound panels at a cost of $20,000. The sound panels are designed to deaden the sound of the wood racquet striking the plastic ball by approximately 32 decibels. The sound panels are not required equipment and can be added at a later date, if the City Council desires.
Costs are summarized as follows:
Court Re-surfacing $22,000
Net posts purchase and install $3,500
Chain Link Fencing $4,000
Acoustic panels $20,000
TOTAL PROJECT COST $49,500

BACKGROUND
At the December 10, 2024, meeting, the City Council discussed this item and expressed an interest in converting a tennis court at San Dimas High School into a pickle ball court. After consulting with the Bonita Unified School District, the District has stated that it is not in a position to give up the space, as the tennis courts are used for instruction and athletic programs throughout the day. As discussed in the staff report below, tennis courts may be converted into pickle ball courts at Lone Hill, Marchant, Pioneer and/or Ladera Serra Park.
The City of San Dimas has not constructed pickle ball courts or converted tennis courts into pickle ball courts. However, several surrounding cities provide pickle ball courts. The City’s website directs residents to www.pickleheads.com, which is a website that assists residents to locate public pickle ball courts nearby. Examples of available pickle ball courts can be found at the Via Verde Country Club (6 courts), Las Flores Park in La Verne (4 courts), Finkbiner Park in Glendora (4 courts), Wheeler Park in Claremont (5 courts) and Upland Indoor Pickle ball (8 courts).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City currently has four City parks with tennis courts that have the potential to be converted into pickle ball courts. These parks are Ladera Serra, Lone Hill, Marchant and Pioneer. However, all four of these parks are located in areas that are directly adjacent to private residences. All eight of the of the City’s tennis courts are located within five hundred feet of housing and could potentially have a negative impact on surrounding neighborhoods. Additional impacts experienced by other municipalities that have installed pickle ball courts include increased traffic and impacts to parking and noise from players and spectators. Other cities have addressed the noise issues by curtailing the hours that pickle ballcourts may be used. Some municipalities have experienced physical altercations between pickle ball players and tennis players and/or park neighbors who are upset about the impact to their neighborhood.
The conversion of one tennis court into four dedicated pickle ball courts requires the re-surfacing of the existing court as well as the replacement of the nets and net posts. Tennis courts in all parks were re-surfaced in FY 2019-2020 and are still in good condition.
Basic Scope of Work to Convert one (1) Tennis court to four (4) Pickleball Courts • Power Wash Tennis Court
• Patch cracks and spalls
• Remove existing tennis net posts and backfill holes with concrete • Grind displaced areas on cracks so both sides are level. • Provide and install four (4) sets of Pickle ball Posts, Sleeves and Nets, Core Drilled Cost to Convert a Tennis Court to Pickle ball Courts
• Apply one coat of re-surfacer, 100% latex acrylic mixed with #60 silica sand to smooth out the surface and provide a superior base for color coating. • Apply two coats of Color, 100% latex acrylic, mixed with #90 silica sand for a medium speed of play.
• Color court to accommodate a total of (4) Pickleball Courts on 60 x 120 Tennis Court • Stripe Play Lines, sharp and accurate to ASBA specifications.
Discussion of Cost to Covert a Tennis Court into Four Pickle Ball Courts Page 3 For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
• Lines to be white latex acrylic line paint unless otherwise specified. • Remove and replace caulking.
• Grind edges for proper adhesion at center joint, at court division, and along the drain system.
• Install new chain link fence between exiting courts.
• Install pickle ball court acoustic wraps.
If the City Council wishes to proceed with the potential conversion of one tennis court, it may wish to direct staff to complete community outreach within a 500-foot radius of the proposed court and return to the City Council with the public input and to seek further direction from the City Council.
ALTERNATIVES
This item was requested by the City Council. The City Council may elect not to covert existing tennis courts into pickle ball courts. If the City Council elects not to convert tennis courts into pickle ball courts, the courts are well used and will continue to serve the San Dimas community.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is Categorically Exempt under the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301 Existing Facilities Class 1 operations which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.

Subject: Discussion and Consideration of Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01, a Municipal Code Text Amendment of Title 18-Chapter 18.38 Accessory Dwelling Units and Chapter 18.170 Electronic Vehicle Charging Stations to Comply with State Law Updates.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 proposes to amend Chapter 18.38, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), and Chapter 18.170, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS), of the City’s Municipal Zoning Code. This amendment aims to ensure compliance with State laws AB 345, AB 976 and SB 477, direction provided by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for ADUs and AB 970 for EVCS updates and align with the intent outlined in these chapters.
On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission considered an initiation to amend Chapters
18.38 and 18.170 to bring both chapters into compliance with State law. The Commission voted 5-0 to approve the initiation and move forward with the amendments. Subsequently, on December 19, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the proposed ordinance and voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution PC 1691 and to recommend approval of MCTA 24-01 to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council:
• Conduct a public hearing to receive public input.
• Introduce Ordinance 1321 approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01, a request to amend Title 18 of the San Dimas Municipal Zoning Code-Chapter 18.38 Accessory Dwelling Units and Chapter 18.170 Electronic Vehicle Charging Stations to comply with State law updates.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 2
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
BACKGROUND
Accessory Dwelling Units
In 1993, the City of San Dimas established Chapter 18.38 of the San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC), which allowed for second units - also known as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) - as required by Government Code Section 65852.2. There have been subsequent changes to Chapter 18.38 in accordance with the evolving State laws. The latest update was on October 13, 2020, in which San Dimas City Council approved and adopted Ordinance 1281 in response to Assembly Bill (AB) 68, AB 881, and Senate Bill (SB) 13. Since this time, the State law regarding ADUs and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) has continued to be modified as new bills are signed into law by the Governor, such as AB 345, AB 976 and SB 477. The table below briefly summarizes the context of the bills staff is proposing to codify.
State Law Changes Affecting ADUs/JADUs
Bill Effective Date Summary
AB 345 January 1,
2022
Amendment to Government Code Section 65852.26 allows the separate conveyance of an ADU under specific conditions. This applies only if a qualified nonprofit corporation is involved in a program that enables low-income families to buy the ADU with a no-interest loan. It also requires the definition of “qualified nonprofit corporation” and “qualified buyer” to ensure these specific criteria are met.
AB 976 January 1,
2024
Amendment to Government Code Section 65852.2 to remove
the owner-occupancy requirement for new ADU applications submitted after January 1, 2025. This change allows ADU properties to be rented or sold without the property owner being required to reside on-site
SB 477 March 25,
2024
Reorganizes and clarifies existing State laws regarding ADUs and JADUs. Previously covered under Government Code
Sections 65852.2, 65852.22, 65852.23, and 65852.26, ADU regulations are now consolidated under Sections 66310
through 66342 to improve coherence without substantive
changes to the regulations.
In addition to the above-referenced bills, Staff is also proposing changes to comply with the direction received from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). On January 29, 2024, the City of San Dimas received a letter from HCD’s Division of Housing Policy Development regarding their recent review of the City’s ADU Ordinance (See Attachment 2). HCD determined that the ordinance did not comply with State law and noted the City’s intent to provide an updated ordinance by Spring 2025.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
In 2019, in response to AB 1236, the City of San Dimas enacted Ordinance 1267 to introduce Chapter 18.170, "Electric Vehicle Charging Stations" (EVCS), into the SDMC. This chapter streamlines the installation of EVCS in accordance with state law. To maintain alignment with the intent of Chapter 18.170 and comply with current state requirements, updates to this chapter are now necessary. The following table provides details on the aforementioned Assembly Bills pertaining to EV Charging Stations.
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 3
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
Assembly Bills Affecting EVCS
Bill Effective Date Summary
AB 1236
*Provided
for
context
September 30,
2017
An act to add Government Code Section 65850.7
mandating local governments to streamline and expedite
the permitting process for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations to support the expansion of EV
infrastructure, limiting the review to health and safety issues and prohibiting the imposition of development standards related to aesthetics, such as screening and landscaping.
AB 970 January 1, 2023 AB 970 codified in Government Code Section 65850.71, builds on California's existing permit streamlining law, AB 1236. AB 970 requires applications to be deemed complete within 5 or 10 business days and approved within 20 or 40 days based on the number of EVCS proposed. Additionally, AB 970 prohibits jurisdictions from requiring replacement parking.
Per San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC) Chapter 18.208, in order to make amendments to Title 18, an initiation must be considered and approved by the Planning Commission. On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission considered an initiation to amend Chapters 18.38 and 18.170 of the SDMC to bring both chapters into compliance with State law. The Commission voted 5-0 to approve the initiation and move forward with the amendments.
On December 19, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the proposed ordinance. The Commission did not have any concerns with the proposed amendment, nor was there any public input at the meeting. Subsequently, the Commission voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution PC 1691 and to recommend approval of MCTA 24-01 to the City Council (See Attachment 3).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Accessory Dwelling Units
In light of the signing of AB 345, AB 976, and SB 477, Staff proposes the following changes to Chapter 18.38:
1. AB 345: Amending the chapter to allow for separate conveyance of an ADU under specific circumstances and include pertinent definitions for “qualified nonprofit corporation” and “qualified buyer.”
2. AB 976: Eliminating the requirement for an owner-restrictive covenant for all ADU applications.
3. SB 477: Updating the referenced government code sections to Government Code Sections 66310 – 66342.
The changes required as part of AB 345 and 976 are also being requested in the letter from HCD.
In response to the HCD letter, Staff proposes the following modifications to the Accessory Dwelling Units Chapter;
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 4
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
1. Revise existing verbiage to allow for the construction of a JADU on lots where singlefamily dwellings are being proposed.
2. Allow for attached ADUs on multifamily lots slated for development.
3. Update height requirements to reflect state allowances of 16 to 25 feet, depending on the following variables:
Height Restrictions
Detached ADU 16 feet on a lot with existing/proposed single or multi-family dwelling
Detached ADU 18 feet on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is within one-half of one-mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor, plus two additional feet for roof alignment
Multi-Story
Multi-Family
18 feet for a lot with an existing or proposed multi-story multifamily dwelling Attached ADU 25 feet or local primary dwelling height limit, whichever is lower (not exceeding two stories)
4. Mandate a permit decision within sixty days and provide detailed feedback on deficiencies.
5. Reduce the minimum size of an ADU to one hundred and fifty square feet to be consistent with that of an efficiency unit per State Health and Safety standards.
6. Allow detached ADUs that are 800 square feet or less to be located within the front yard with a four foot front yard setback. In an effort to minimize impacts to residential neighborhoods and preserve and protect front yard setbacks from development to the greatest extent possible, Staff has proposed additional language that would only allow ADUs within the front yard setback if there is no other feasible location on the parcel to accommodate the ADU.
The changes discussed above were requested by HCD and are consistent with revisions to State law. However, there were some changes requested by HCD that are not required by State law and Staff did not agree with. HCD will often make interpretations and recommendations related to ADUs. Often times Staff may not agree with these recommendations and if Staff believes the changes will impact residential neighborhoods, Staff will not implement the changes until they become part of the law. Staff discussed these recommendations with the City’s attorney’s office to confirm that the changes are not required. The following changes were requested by HCD but are not being implemented as part of this amendment:
1. Unit Mixture
a. Current ADU State law allows for one ADU and one JADU. However, HCD has made the interpretation that two (2) ADUs, one attached and one detached, and one JADU should be allowed. This would allow up to four (4) units on single family property. As this change is not consistent with State law, Staff is not implementing this change. In addition, not implementing this change would protect single family neighborhoods from further impacts.
2. Washer/Dryer Hookups
a. The City’s current ADU ordinance requires that washer/dryer hookups be provided within an ADU, and allows hookups to be provided within a shared common space
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 5
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
for a JADU. HCD requested that this requirement be removed from the ordinance.
However, this requirement was included in the ordinance, and was discussed with HCD when it was originally proposed, as there is only one (1) laundromat in the City, thus necessitating in-home appliances. In addition, State requires that ADU standards be objective, and the washer/dryer hookup is an objective standard. As such, Staff is not implementing this change.
3. Equestrian/Agricultural Property
a. The City’s current ADU ordinance requires ADUs to comply with equestrian setback standards. ADUs and any other residential structure must maintain a 35 foot setback from a corral located on-site, and 80 feet from any corral located on an adjacent parcel. HCD requested that this standard be removed as to not impeded ADU development. However, the distance requirements are consistent with the County’s Department of Public Health, and therefore will not be removed from the ordinance. Staff discussed this with HCD and informed them that the requirement would remain in place to not violate County health requirements.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Staff has reviewed the zoning code in light of the signing of AB 1236, and AB 970 and sees the need to significantly amend Chapter 18.38 of the SDMC to ensure compliance with the aforementioned bills. Staff is proposing modifications to include the following:
1. Expanding Chapter 18.170's definitions to include "specific, adverse impact" and using "charging station" as an alternative term.
2. Allowing EVCS as primary use by right in areas designated for service stations while clarifying exceptions to the applicability section in line with AB 970;
3. Removing restrictions on development standards that limit EVCS due to parking space loss.
4. Aligning approval authority with the City Building Official as per AB 970.
The proposed amendments to Chapters 18.38 and 18.170 are regarded as cleanup items in response to the constantly evolving State laws. These updates also include moving definitions from these chapters to Chapter 18.08 Definitions.
All the changes discussed above, for both the ADU and EV ordinance, are required by State law.
In making these changes, Staff will often review the ordinance and make associated changes to be consistent with the required changes or provide further clarification or protection measures.
The following amendments are being proposed as part of this amendment which provide clarification and local control measures:
Accessory Dwelling Units
1. Section 18.38.010. Density Clarification
Each residential property in the City has a maximum density that determines how many units are allowed. Per State law, ADUs are exempt from density standards and do not count towards the allowable density. The City’s current ordinance does state this but the
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 6
For the Meeting of January 28, 2025
language could benefit from a revision to allow the average reader to understand. The current language reads as follows:
“An accessory dwelling unit does not exceed the allowable density for the lot on which it is located.”
Staff is proposing the revised language:
“An ADU is an accessory use for the purpose of calculating allowable density under the general plan and zoning and does not count towards the allowable density.”
2. Section 18.38.040.Q. Development Standards – ADU Accessory Structures The current ADU ordinance does not include development standards for accessory structures, thus they are regulated by standards of the underlying zone. Therefore, the Code allows an ADU to be developed with accessory structures, such as a garage or patio cover, that are greater in area than the ADU as long as they comply with setback and lot coverage requirements (i.e. 800 square foot ADU with a 1,000 square foot garage). This results in overdevelopment by adding additional structures and massing. Staff is proposing development standards that will limit the size of attached accessory structures to further limit and control development associated with ADUs.
In addition, the proposed standards will allow these attached accessory structures to maintain the four (4) foot setback provided for ADUs, which would provide some flexibility to provide covered on-site parking. This would be in line with the planning commission's request in an effort to alleviate on-street parking.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
1. Section 18170.040.J.3. Development Standards – Operational and Maintenance Staff is proposing to add language to address conditions of disrepair. Adding this language assigns the applicant/property owner responsibility for maintaining and ensuring the functionality of the electric vehicle charging station.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives for this proposed request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of evidence received at the City Council hearing; and or the reasons discussed by the City Council at the January 28, 2025 hearing, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
Ordinance 1321 Page 2
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01
The proposed amendments would codify existing State law and help bring the City’s zoning ordinance into compliance with State Law. Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 would clarify existing State regulations that aim to streamline and promote the development and construction of Accessory Dwelling Units and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment aims to align the City’s regulations with new State laws governing Accessory Dwelling Units and Electric Vehicle Charging stations. More specifically, the amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance will provide clarity, remove certain barriers, and provide flexibility for providing on-site parking. The intent of the State law regarding EVCS is to streamline the permitting proposed in an effort to provide more readily available charging stations for electric vehicles, which aids in lowering carbon emissions and improving air quality. The proposed amendments do not undermine the City’s objectives of ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses and safeguarding public health, safety, and general welfare.
C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and applicable Zoning.
The proposed amendments are consistent with applicable Zoning by ensuring both ADU and EVCS Chapters are in compliance with State Law. In addition, the amendments will be consistent with the following goals of the General Plan:
Housing Element
a. Goal Statement HE-2 seeks to provide opportunities for well-designed and appropriate housing that is diverse in type and location.
Affordability and tenure that meet the full spectrum of current and future housing needs in San Dimas.
b. Goal Statement HE-4 aims to assist in the development, provision, and retention of long-term affordable housing opportunities for lower—and moderate-income households, including individuals and families with special needs.
Land Use
c. Goal Statement L-3 states a goal of ensuring all portions of the City are adequately served with essential services and utilities. d. Goal statement L-4 states a goal of planning and creating an urban form that efficiently utilizes urban infrastructure and resources.

§ 18.38.010. Purpose.
A. The provisions of this chapter are intended to set forth standards, in accordance with state law, for the creation or conversion of at least one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) per lot zoned single-family or multifamily use. An ADU/JADU is an accessory use and does not count toward the allowable density dwelling unit does not exceed the allowable density for the lot on which it is located.
B. The California State Legislature has identified that the need exists for new housing to shelter California's population. Creating the opportunity to provide accessory dwelling units on existing residential property addresses this need and would provide additional housing options within the community.
(Ord. 979 § 2, 1993; Ord. 1251 § 1, 2017; Ord. 1281 Exh. A, 2020) § 18.38.015. Definitions.

For the Meeting of December 19, 2024
BACKGROUND
Accessory Dwelling Units
In 1993, the City of San Dimas established Chapter 18.38 of the San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC), which allowed for second units - also known as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) - as required by Government Code Section 65852.2. There have been subsequent changes to Chapter 18.38 in accordance with the evolving State laws. The latest update was on October 13, 2020, in which San Dimas City Council approved and adopted Ordinance 1281 in response to Assembly Bill (AB) 68, AB 881, and Senate Bill (SB) 13. Since this time, the State law regarding ADUs and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) has continued to be modified as new bills are signed into law by the Governor, such as AB 345, AB 976 and SB 477. The table below briefly summarizes the context of the bills staff is proposing to codify.
State Law Changes Affecting ADUs/JADUs
Bill Effective Date Summary
AB 345 January 1, 2022 Amendment to Government Code Section 65852.26 allows the separate conveyance of an ADU under specific conditions. This applies only if a qualified nonprofit corporation is involved in a program that enables low-income families to buy the ADU with a no-interest loan. It also requires the definition of “qualified nonprofit corporation” and “qualified buyer” to ensure these specific criteria are met.
AB 976 January 1, 2024 Amendment to Government Code Section 65852.2 to remove the owner-occupancy requirement for new ADU applications
submitted after January 1, 2025. This change allows ADU properties to be rented or sold without the property owner being required to reside on-site
SB 477 March 25, 2024 Reorganizes and clarifies existing State laws regarding ADUs and JADUs. Previously covered under Government Code Sections 65852.2, 65852.22, 65852.23, and 65852.26, ADU regulations are now consolidated under Sections 66310 through 66342 to improve coherence without substantive changes to the
regulations.
In addition to the above-referenced bills, Staff is also proposing changes to comply with the direction received from the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). On January 29, 2024, the City of San Dimas received a letter from HCD’s Division of Housing Policy Development regarding their recent review of the City’s ADU Ordinance (See Attachment 2). HCD determined that the ordinance did not comply with State law and noted the City’s intent to provide an updated ordinance by Spring 2025.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
In 2019, in response to AB 1236, the City of San Dimas enacted Ordinance 1267 to introduce Chapter 18.170, "Electric Vehicle Charging Stations" (EVCS), into the SDMC. This chapter streamlines the installation of EVCS in accordance with State law. To maintain alignment with the intent of Chapter 18.170 and comply with current State requirements, updates to this chapter are now necessary. The following table provides details on the aforementioned Assembly Bills pertaining to EV Charging Stations.
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 3
For the Meeting of December 19, 2024
Assembly Bills Affecting EVCS
Bill Effective Date Summary
AB 1236
*Provided
for context
September 30, 2017 An act to add Government Code Section 65850.7 mandating local governments to streamline and expedite the permitting process for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations to support the expansion of EV infrastructure, limiting the review to health and safety issues and prohibiting the
imposition of development standards related to aesthetics, such as screening and landscaping.
AB 970 January 1, 2023 AB 970 codified in Government Code Section 65850.71, builds on California's existing permit streamlining law, AB 1236. AB 970 requires applications to be deemed complete within 5 or 10 business days and approved within 20 or 40 days based on the number of EVCS proposed. Additionally, AB 970 prohibits jurisdictions from requiring replacement parking.
Per San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC) Chapter 18.208, in order to make amendments to Title 18, an initiation must be considered and approved by the Planning Commission. On November 21, 2024, the Planning Commission considered an initiation to amend Chapters 18.38 and 18.170 of the SDMC to bring both chapters into compliance with State law. The Commission voted 5-0 to approve the initiation and move forward with the amendments.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Accessory Dwelling Units
In light of the signing of AB 345, AB 976, and SB 477, Staff proposes the following changes to Chapter 18.38;
1. AB 345: Amending the chapter to allow for separate conveyance of an ADU under specific circumstances and include pertinent definitions for “qualified nonprofit corporation” and “qualified buyer.”
2. AB 976: Eliminating the requirement for an owner-restrictive covenant for all ADU applications.
3. SB 477: Updating the referenced government code sections to Government Code Sections 66310 – 66342.
In response to the HCD letter, Staff proposes the following modifications to the Accessory Dwelling Units Chapter;
1. Modify development standards to ensure the permitting and the construction of an ADU that is 800 square feet or less and adheres to four-foot side and rear setback requirements.
2. Revising existing verbiage to allow for the construction of a JADU on lots where singlefamily dwellings are being proposed.
3. Allow for attached ADUs on multifamily lots slated for development.
4. Update height requirements to reflect state allowances of 16 to 25 feet, depending on the location of the property (See the table below)
Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 Page 4
For the Meeting of December 19, 2024
Height Restrictions
Detached ADU 16 feet on a lot with existing/proposed single or multi-family dwelling
Detached ADU 18 feet on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is within one-half of one-mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high-quality transit corridor, plus two additional feet for roof alignment
Multi-Story MultiFamily18 feet for a lot with an existing or proposed multi-story multifamily dwelling Attached ADU 25 feet or local primary dwelling height limit, whichever is lower (not exceeding two stories)
5. Mandate a permit decision within sixty days and provide detailed feedback on deficiencies.
6. Reducing the minimum size of an efficiency unit to one hundred and fifty square feet as per State Health and Safety standards.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Staff has reviewed the zoning code in light of the signing of AB 1236, and AB 970 and sees the need to significantly amend Chapter 18.38 of the SDMC to ensure compliance with the aforementioned bills. Staff is proposing modifications to include the following:
1. Expanding Chapter 18.170's definitions to include "specific, adverse impact" and using "charging station" as an alternative term.
2. Allowing EVCS as primary use by right in areas designated for service stations while clarifying exceptions to the applicability section in line with AB 970;
3. Removing restrictions on development standards that limit EVCS due to parking space loss.
4. Aligning approval authority with the City Building Official as per AB 970.
The proposed amendments to Chapters 18.38 and 18.170 are regarded as routine cleanup items in response to the constantly evolving State laws. These updates also include moving definitions from these chapters to Chapter 18.08 Definitions.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed for this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01 would clarify existing State regulations that aim to streamline and promote the development and construction of Accessory Dwelling Units and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety, and general welfare.
The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment aims to align the City’s regulations with new State laws governing Accessory Dwelling Units and Electric Vehicle Charging stations. More specifically, the amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance will provide clarity, remove certain barriers, and provide flexibility for providing on-site parking. The intent of the State law regarding EVCS is to streamline the permitting proposed in an effort to provide more readily available charging stations for electric vehicles, which aids in lowering carbon emissions and improving air quality. The proposed amendments do not undermine the City’s objectives of ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses and safeguarding public health, safety, and general welfare.
C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with applicable Zoning by ensuring both ADU and EVCS Chapters are in compliance with State Law. In addition, the amendments will be consistent with the following goals of the General Plan:
Housing Element
a. Goal Statement HE-2 seeks to provide opportunities for welldesigned and appropriate housing that is diverse in type and location. Affordability and tenure that meet the full spectrum of current and future housing needs in San Dimas.
b. Goal Statement HE-4 aims to assist in the development, provision, and retention of long-term affordable housing opportunities for lower—and moderate-income households, including individuals and families with special needs.
Land Use
c. Goal Statement L-3 states a goal of ensuring all portions of the City are adequately served with essential services and utilities. d. Goal statement L-4 states a goal of planning and creating an urban form that efficiently utilizes urban infrastructure and resources.

MOTION: Moved by Vice-Chairman Davis, seconded by Commissioner Green to continue the public hearing to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of January 16, 2025.
Motion carried 5-0.
PH 2. Municipal Code Text Amendment 2401, Discussion and consideration of a Municipal Code Text Amendment of Title 18 Chapter 18.38 Accessory Dwelling Units and Chapter
18.170Electronic Vehicle Charging Stations to comply with State law updates and to make various cleanup text amendments.
Community Development Director Torrico wanted to give some background on the item before the presentation. He stated the text changes in Resolution PC-1691 involve making changes to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance and the Electric Vehicle (EV) ordinance. The changes are being triggered due to state law and a letter the City received from the Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). We are incorporating a majority of the changes but there are a few changes within the letter from HCD that they cited are not necessarily state law and are open to their interpretation. HCD’s interpretation is that you can have two ADU’s and a Jr. ADU on a single-family property. That has not been written into state law so the City and the City Attorney’s position is that until it is written in to state law, the City will not be making that change to the code.
Commissioner Shirley stated he read the letter from HCD and saw several recommendations for the city to amend or update our code. He asked if we have decided which ones to amend, update, or remove.
Community Development Director Torrico stated yes, there are changes in state law that we are forced to implement, and we are incorporating two of these revisions in this proposed amendment but Staff feels that some of the items in the letter are open to interpretation. Every few years the HCD puts out a handout that answers frequently asked questions about ADU’s and provides their interpretation of the state law. Staff feels that sometimes that interpretation doesn’t align with what we believe state law to say so in situations like that cities typically push back, and we have decided, with the City Attorney’s recommendation, that we are not implementing some of the changes HCD requested but if they are are ever clarified in the state law, we will amend the ordinance.
Vice-Chairman Davis asked how would we handle someone who wants to build two ADU’s on their property.
Planning Commission Minutes Page 3
December 19, 2024
Community Development Director Torrico stated in situations like this Staff would explain to the customer the City’s position and let them know we have been in contact with HCD. Ultimately, HCD does have enforcement authority so if they disagree with what cities are doing, they can forward their concerns to the Attorney General’s office for further review. Until then, it’s our interpretation that each property can have one ADU.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated that some amendments to the State’s law start as interpretations, but the law is eventually amendedto clarify the issue. That being said, on the dias is a revised resolution with highlighted sections from the HCD 2025 ADU handout. We were just made aware of these changes so we went through the proposed amendment to our code to adjust as needed, so we don’t have to come back in a couple months with additional amendments.
Assistant Planner Galindo stated just to be clear, the handout Marco is talking about does not include EV charges, just ADU’s.
Staff report presented by Assistant Planner Galindo recommending the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC-1691 recommending approval to the City Council of Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-01.
Vice-Chairman Davis asked if Staff could further explain the off-street parking in more detail. For example, If he was building an eight-hundred square foot ADU but is also building a four-hundred forty-one square foot attached parking garage, can he have the whole project streamlined through the ADU process.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated that is correct. It would be considered as one whole project.
Community Development Director Torrico stated that under the current code a garage would be something that is streamlined. They are now allowing some flexibility and would allow a garage that’s meant to be used by the occupants of the ADU to have a four-foot set back. Currently a typical garage would have a five-foot setback.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated that the key word is detached; they are getting submittals with attached garages and balconies and are allowing for the amenities, but there should be a limitation, so they are adding this to the amendment. When it's detached its a separate entity so The City will consider it an ADU.
Community Development Director Torrico stated providing they have the same reduced four-foot setback then we can write language to make easier to be required to have ADU have parking onsite.
Vice-Chairman Davis stated the last time we went through this we talked about HOA have different standards and additional requirements, does this change that or does HOA have stricter requirements?
Planning Commission Minutes Page 4
December 19, 2024
Assistant Planner Galindo stated that the proposed code amendments are due to changes ibn the state law so if a Homeowner’s Association (HOA) wanted further restrictions on ADU’s, then it would be up to the HOA to enforce them.
Vice-Chairman Davis asked if homeowners have been using the ADU concept to build structures they do not intend to use as an ADU, such as a pool house.
Community Development Director Torrico stated he thinks there is a property that built a pool house that looked and functioned as an ADU, but the code does not allow pool houses.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated they don’t restrict how the homeowners eventually use the ADU, and they can decide to rent it out or not.
Vice-Chairman Davis stated they could potentially use it as another home or a pool house because if you look at the plans, we aren’t going to say that’s not an ADU.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated it depends on what the applicant calls the structure. Someone can design an ADU to look like a pool house but what you label the structure is how we are going to set the requirements.
Community Development Director Torrico stated that state law doesn’t allow HOA’s to prohibit ADU’s but it does allow them to have reasonable requirements.
Vice-Chairman Davis asked if the owner of the property has to live in the ADU or house, or if they can rent one or the other out.
Assistant Planner Galindo stated that the proposed amendments removes the owner occupancy requirement to align with state law.
Vice-Chairman Davis stated that his HOA requires the owner to occupy the ADU and asks if that is now against the law.
Community Development Director Torrico stated yes, that is one of the portions of the code that was removed.
Chairman Bratt asked if the HOA would still be bound by state law.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated yes they would. Some HOA’s will be restrictive but they can be too restricted if the state law allows them to do so.

December 19, 2024
Community Development Director Torrico stated the City Attorney recommends the City amends the code for the structures, but if the HOA has different requirements they will have to enforce them upon the homeowner.
Commissioner Shirley pointed out that the City has sixty days to approve a project and asked if HCD has responded back with an interpretation that it could take more than sixty days.
Assistant Planner Galindo stated the City has sixty days to deem the application incomplete or complete, it’s not an approval of the project within sixty days, she stated they have more time to review once the application is deemed complete.
Commissioner Shirley asked for clarification of the timelines on page 38 of the ordinance.
Community Development Director Torrico stated they currently process ADU’s in under sixty days, so they comply. He stated that if someone submits an ADU by itself, the city has sixty days to say they can build or they cannot build. However, if they submit a house and an ADU, then the city can take as long as they need to review the house. If the review is done concurrently the sixty days are put on hold.
Chairman Bratt asked for clarification about the EV charging stations. He asked if the City has control over the processing timeline.
Community Development Director Torrico stated the City does have control, but they have to streamline the process with the ultimate goal of making it an administrative process. The state wants cities processes to be efficient and cost efficient for private and commercial use as they see EV charging stations as necessary infrastructure.
Chairman Bratt stated in his HOA this is a common issue. Residents will purchase electric vehicles and some will put the chargers on the exterior of the building and some on the inside of the garage.
Community Development Director Torrico stated the City has a checklist on our website that complies with the State requirements for commercial and residential projects. Most residential installations are inside the garage and small enough that it doesn’t impact the parking area in the garage.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated that staff tries to get the EV chargers placed behind a wall or screened, but if the homeowner pushes back, we can’t require it.
Chairman Bratt stated that’s the issue his HOA is having, people want to put the EV charger outside of the garage and the HOA would prefer it to be more hidden.
Planning Commission Minutes Page 6
December 19, 2024
Community Development Director Torrico stated there is a change that needs to be made on page twenty-five of the agenda packet, to add the language to purpose. The current statement says an ADU and a Jr. ADU is an accessory use and does not count towards the allowable density. Staff suggests to simplify the sentence to “an ADU and Jr. ADU is for accessory use and does not count towards the allowable density”.
Vice-Chairman Davis asked if someone wanted to build on government property and they built a bunch of ADU’s, would we count it toward density.
Community Development Director Torrico stated no, for a single-family property the City has to allow at least eight hundred square feet, but the city can’t regulate density. He stated they can use lot coverage and it's written into law as to how many units a property can have. Right now, it says one ADU and one Jr. ADU. The state is pushing for two ADU’s, but the City does not interrupt the current law this way.
Planning Manager Espinoza stated the code does not require the City to allow the garage, that’s an added allowance, but if you do not have the space for the garage then all you get is the eight hundred square foot ADU.
Chairman Bratt opened the public hearing.
No communications were made at this time.
