Staff recommends that that City Council and Planning Commission discuss options and provide direction to staff.
2. CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION JOINT STUDY SESSION – STATEADOPTED HOUSING LEGISLATION (ASSEMBLY BILL 2011 AND SENATE BILL 6) Over the recent years, the State of California has been in an ongoing housing-supply crisis. This has led to a number of bills being signed and adopted at the State level to help alleviate the housing shortage. On September 28, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills (Assembly Bill (AB) 2011 and Senate Bill (SB) 6) into effect that would allow residential housing in commercially-zoned parcels. This report provides a summary of the two recently-signed bills as a basis for City Council discussion. While there is no fiscal impact with the discussion of the new housing bills, compliance with the new bills will result in an undetermined cost to assist with creating objective design standards and adopting conforming regulations.
CEQA Determination: Not a Project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
3 Joint City Council and Planning Commission Meeting Agenda – March 2, 2023 Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council and the Planning Commission review and discuss the two legislative bills and direct staff to draft an Ordinance on Objective Design Standards for review and recommendation by the Planning Commission before returning to the City Council for formal adoption.
