A. ORDINANCES NO. 728 AND NO. 729 AMENDING TO UPDATE THE SAN
GABRIEL MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO NEW STATE LAW FOR URBAN DWELLING UNITS (ZTA25-001), ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ZTA26-001) – INTRODUCTION
AND FIRST READING
The California Legislature adopted Senate Bills 450, 544, and 1211 and Assembly Bills 130, 462, and 1154 in 2024 and 2025, amending existing State law pertaining to Urban Dwelling Units, Accessory Dwelling Units, and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Draft ordinances were provided to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation on July 14, 2025 and February 9, 2026. Following discussion, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council of the proposed Zone Text Amendments (ZTA25-001 and ZTA26-001) for Ordinances No. 728 and No. 729.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed amendments were reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the amendment to a Zoning Ordinance is not considered a project as defined in Section 15378 and can be seen with certainty that it will not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance qualifies for this CEQA exemption as there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment as it amends the City’s Municipal Code to demonstrate compliance with State Accessory Dwelling Units Law.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the public hearing and discuss the proposed Ordinances No. 728 and No. 729.
2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinances No. 728 and No. 729 by title only:
