(City Council Series)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA AMENDING SANTA MONICA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 9.64

TO EXTEND THE REMOVAL OF THE EXTREMELY LOW-INCOME AFFORDABLE

HOUSING CATEGORY
WHEREAS, the City has a long history of prioritizing preservation and production of affordable housing in order to promote and maintain affordability and diversity within the community; and
WHEREAS, the City’s residents have affirmed this priority in voter-approved initiatives, such as Proposition R, which was adopted by the voters in 1990 and mandated that 30 percent of all new multi-family housing units constructed each year be affordable, and Proposition I, which was adopted by the voters in 1998 and authorized the City to participate financially in creating affordable housing equal to one-half of one percent of the housing stock annually; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has further facilitated preservation and production of affordable housing by adopting land use incentives and administrative funding guidelines to streamline affordable housing production and preservation and through the policy foundation of supporting affordable housing articulated in the General Plan’s Land Use and Housing Elements; and
DocuSign Envelope ID: C3441D4E-58CD-453F-8ECE-24FC1475578F

7.C.e
Packet Pg. 1570 Attachment: Exhibit O Part 2 of 3 2022.04.26 (5083 : Second Reading - St Johns DA) 2 WHEREAS, the City’s Affordable Housing Production Program, codified at Chapter 9.64 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code (the “AHPP”), requires developers of multi-family housing projects to contribute to affordable housing production and thereby enhances the City’s efforts to meet its affordable housing production goals; and WHEREAS, the requirements of the AHPP are based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the City’s longstanding commitment to economic diversity; the serious need for affordable housing as reflected in local, state, and federal housing regulations and policies; the demand for affordable housing created by market rate development; the depletion of potential affordable housing sites due to market-rate development; and the impact that the shortage of affordable housing has on the health, safety, and welfare of the City’s residents, including local and regional traffic, transit, transportation and air quality impacts; and
WHEREAS, on June 25, 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 2429 (CCS) to amend Chapter 9.64 by revising affordable housing categories, income-eligibility limits, and rent limits to be consistent with federal and state affordable housing programs (“Ordinance 2429”); and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 2429 also expanded AHPP income categories to include households at the lowest end of the income scale, whose gross income does not exceed 30 percent of the area median income, sometimes referred to as the extremely lowincome category; and WHEREAS, Ordinance 2429 further provided that a developer may meet its AHPP requirements by developing 5 percent of the total units of the project to be made available at affordable rent to households in the extremely low-income category; and DocuSign Envelope ID: C3441D4E-58CD-453F-8ECE-24FC1475578F

7.C.e
Packet Pg. 1571 Attachment: Exhibit O Part 2 of 3 2022.04.26 (5083 : Second Reading - St Johns DA) 3 WHEREAS, the extremely low-income category was added to the AHPP to stimulate the development of such units; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of Ordinance 2429, more than one-third of all affordable units approved have been in the extremely-low income category, and, in 2018, 84 percent of all affordable units approved were in the extremely-low income category; and
WHEREAS, although the City has met its overall affordable housing production requirements as mandated by Proposition R since adoption of Proposition R and, collectively, since 2014, the City has seen an overall decline in affordable housing production since 2014 and has not met its annual targets for affordable housing production under Proposition R in fiscal years 2014/2015, 2015/2016, or 2016/2017; and WHEREAS, the production of such a large number of affordable units in the extremely low-income category has resulted in fewer affordable units being produced in the very low-, low- and moderate-income categories and fewer affordable units being produced overall; and
WHEREAS, on July 25, 2017, after conducting a feasibility study, the City adopted AHPP obligation requirements specific to the Downtown as part of the Downtown Community Plan (“DCP”); and
WHEREAS, the DCP established a 20 percent base requirement for a project’s total affordable housing contribution, with a required distribution across all affordable income levels; and

(City Council Series)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA AMENDING SANTA MONICA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 9.53.130

TO EXCLUDE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

FROM TRANSPORTATION ALLOWANCE REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2015, the City Council of City Council adopted an updated Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) Ordinance, Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 9.53; and
WHEREAS, the purpose and objective of the TDM Ordinance is to implement the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan by proactively managing congestion, reducing automobile dependence and enhancing transportation choices by requiring trip reduction plans for all types of trips—work, shopping, leisure, school, and appointments; and
WHEREAS, the TDM Ordinance introduced new trip reduction requirements for both residential and non-residential development projects to meet specific criteria consistent with the Land Use and Circulation Element policy goal of no net increase in PM peak hour vehicle trips by 2030; and
WHEREAS, Santa Monica Municipal Code Section 9.53.130(B)(2)(c)(iv) requires residential and mixed-use projects that result in the addition of 16 or more residential units to provide a “transportation allowance” to all residents of the project who do not lease a DocuSign Envelope ID: 4886ED75-79D4-4269-B295-869BEF5C1E2D

WHEREAS, renting residential units with parking bundled into the cost of renting livable space requires all renters to bear the expense of parking regardless of whether a tenant utilizes a parking space; and
WHEREAS, the transportation allowance is a cash incentive offered to residents who do not lease a parking space or own or long-term lease an automobile in association with a residential use in Santa Monica that is intended to remove the inherent incentive for personal automobile travel that occurs in multiple-unit dwellings when residential units are rented with parking “bundled” into the cost of renting the livable space; and WHEREAS, the transportation allowance is indexed to the cost of a regional monthly transit pass, thus providing an incentive for use of mass transit in place of automobile travel; and
WHEREAS, on October 31, 2019, Community Corporation of Santa Monica submitted an application for a Text Amendment (19ENT-0399) to exempt one hundred percent affordable projects from the transportation allowance requirement if the projects do not include any off-site affordable housing units used to satisfy a multiple-unit dwelling project’s obligations under the City’s Affordable Housing Production Program, Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 9.64 (“AHPP”); and
WHEREAS, on December 10, 2019, Council held a study session on housing policy where the costs to produce affordable housing were discussed and directed that staff bring forward amendments to the Municipal Code to support the production of one hundred percent affordable housing; and

7.C.e
Packet Pg. 1595 Attachment: Exhibit O Part 2 of 3 2022.04.26 (5083 : Second Reading - St Johns DA) 3 WHEREAS, one hundred percent affordable housing projects have very limited operating budgets, and, while the current cost of providing a transportation allowance could potentially be absorbed, the City requires that an applicant provide a transportation allowance to eligible residents for the life of the project; and WHEREAS, over time, the cost of providing a transportation allowance to all eligible residents of a one hundred percent affordable housing project could increase significantly as rates of vehicle ownership shift; and
WHEREAS, because an applicant for a one hundred percent affordable housing project cannot accurately predict the number of residents who will be eligible for and accept a transportation allowance, the applicant must assume that it will be required to provide a transportation allowance to all residents throughout the project’s life; and WHEREAS, this assumption represents a significant risk in obtaining financing for a one hundred percent affordable housing project; and
WHEREAS, one hundred percent affordable housing projects that include affordable units that satisfy a project’s obligations under the AHPP, have additional and more flexible options for financing, thus significantly reducing the burden of providing a transportation allowance; and
WHEREAS, removing the transportation allowance for one hundred percent affordable housing projects that do not include affordable units that satisfy a project’s AHPP obligations will increase ability to obtain financing for and incentivize increased production of affordable housing throughout the City; and WHEREAS, the City desires to amend Santa Monica Municipal Code Section

9.53.130 to exempt one hundred percent affordable housing projects that do not include DocuSign Envelope ID: 4886ED75-79D4-4269-B295-869BEF5C1E2D

Specifically, Policy CE9.1 calls for the support of large family childcare homes by encouraging their harmonious integration into neighborhoods and providing incentives such as streamlined processing and permit regulations.

With respect to accessory dwelling units, the LUCE specifically establishes that accessory dwelling units are permitted in single family housing designations. Further, Policies LU11.3 and LU11.6 seek to provide incentives for affordable housing with a focus on process streamlining, bonuses, and flexible standards. The proposed amendments also support housing production through process incentives for projects that comply with objective standards in the Zoning Ordinance.

b. Loft spaces built within this area shall not exceed 30 percent of the total floor area of the space consistent with the definition of mezzanine.

3. A minimum of 70 percent of the façade facing a commercial street shall be transparent and include windows, doors, and other openings between 2.5 and 8 feet above finished grade. Openings fulfilling this requirement shall have transparent glazing or openings that provide views into work areas, display areas, sales areas, lobbies, or similar active spaces, or into window displaying merchandise or other items other than signs that are at least 3 feet deep. This requirement may be modified by the Architectural Review Board if it can be demonstrated that the fulfillment of this requirement materially interferes with the project’s ability to meet the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 8.36 – The Energy Code.

4. A minimum of one pedestrian entrance facing the street.

B. Pedestrian-Oriented Design. New development shall incorporate the following design elements into the street-facing façades at the ground floor level:

1. Articulated façades at the ground floor street frontage, which may include, but not necessarily require, such measures as indentation in plane, change of materials in a complimentary manner, sensitive composition and juxtaposition of openings and solid wall and/or building frame and projecting elements such as awnings and marquees to provide shade and shelter.

2. Alternatives to the requirements of this Section 9.14.030 may be approved if the Review Authority finds that the proposed use has unique operational characteristics with which providing the required windows and openings is incompatible, and street-facing building walls will exhibit architectural relief and detail and be enhanced with landscaping in such a way as to create visual interest at the pedestrian level.

C. Build-To Line, Nonresidential Uses. Except on Pacific Coast Highway between northern City limits and Santa Monica Pier, buildings with nonresidential uses on the ground floor shall be constructed no farther than 10 feet from the street facing parcel line(s) for 70 percent of linear street frontage. This requirement may be waived or modified subject to a discretionary approval upon finding that:

1. Entry courtyards, plazas, entries, outdoor eating and display areas, or other uncovered areas designed and accessible for public use are located between the buildto line and building, provided that the buildings are built to the edge of the courtyard, plaza, or dining area; and

2. The building incorporates an alternative entrance design that creates a welcoming entry feature facing the street.

D. Exterior Lighting. Exterior lighting should provide for a secure nighttime pedestrian environment by reinforcing entrances, public sidewalks and open areas with a safe level of illumination which avoids off-site glare.

50′
For parcels located along the Pacific Coast Highway between the Santa Monica Pier and the north City limits, at least 25 percent of the side elevation above 14 feet in height shall provide an additional 4-foot average setback from the minimum side setback.

F. Daylight Plane Adjacent to Residential Uses. Buildings shall not extend above a plane starting at 25 feet in height directly above the parcel line abutting any residentially-zoned parcel in residential use, or where there is an alley, the centerline of the alley, and from that point, extending in at a 45-degree angle from vertical toward the interior of the site. The 25-foot height measurement shall be taken from the same reference grade as determined for the subject site pursuant to Section 9.04.050.

A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow and regulate accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units in compliance with California Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 and, in doing so, to increase the supply of affordable housing in the City. This section shall not be considered in the application of any City ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.

existing primary single-unit or multi-unit dwelling. An ADU shall contain a kitchen and full bathroom separate from the primary dwelling(s) and accessible only to the inhabitants of the ADU. An ADU shall not have interior access to an existing or proposed single-unit dwelling or unit within a multiple-unit dwelling and shall have exterior access that is independent of that for any single-unit dwelling or unit within a multiple-unit dwelling. An ADU may also be: (1) an efficiency unit, as defined in Section 17958.1(b) of the Health and Safety Code; or (2) a manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code. An ADU shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the primary single-unit or multiple-unit dwelling is or will be situated.

C. Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit. Junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) means a dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and is contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-unit dwelling.

A JADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. For purposes of providing service for water, sewer, or power, or for fire or life protection, a JADU shall not be considered a separate or new dwelling unit.

D. ADU and JADU Uses Permitted By Right. An ADU or JADU that conforms to all standards of this Section shall be permitted by right, shall be deemed to be consistent with the City’s general plan and zoning designation for the parcel on which the DocuSign Envelope ID: B25D00ED-D586-4CB6-962E-64B260949788

Correction of nonconforming zoning conditions will not be required as a condition of approval, except that the City is not prohibited from enforcing compliance with applicable building standards in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 17980.12. An application to create an ADU or JADU submitted with a permit application to create a new dwelling on the parcel shall be acted upon when or before the application for the new dwelling is acted upon. An application to establish or construct an ADU or JADU on a parcel that contains an existing single-unit or multiple-unit dwelling shall be deemed complete if not acted on within 60 days from the date that the application is complete, except that the applicant may request a delay and the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay.

F. Establishment of ADUs and JADUs. An ADU or JADU that meets the requirements of this Section may be established on any legal parcel that is zoned to allow for single-unit or multiple-unit dwelling residential use and on which a primary single-unit dwelling or multiple-unit dwelling has been previously established or is proposed to be established in conjunction with construction of the ADU or JADU.

The City Council finds and declares:

A. It is the intent of the Santa Monica Sign Code to preserve and enhance the aesthetic, traffic safety, and environmental values of the City while at the same time providing for channels of communication to the public, including, but not limited to, identifying and advertising businesses within the City. The purpose of this Code is to provide minimum standards to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare through the regulation and control of the design, materials, construction, size, location, and maintenance of signs and sign structures; B. It is the City’s policy to regulate signs in a manner that is consistent with the free speech provisions of the United States Constitution and the liberty of speech provisions of the California Constitution, by enacting regulations that are content neutral;
C. An excess of large, ugly, intense signs causes a visual blight on the appearance of the City by detracting from views of structures and open space. This visual blight adversely affects the aesthetic quality of life and traffic safety in Santa Monica for residents, businesses, pedestrians, tourists, and persons in vehicles. In order to promote the appearance of the City, while protecting the rights of sign owners to expression and identification, the regulation of existing and proposed signs is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare; D. The purpose of the Santa Monica Sign Code is to encourage signs that are integrated with and harmonious to the buildings and sites that they occupy, to eliminate excessive and confusing sign displays, to preserve and improve the DocuSign Envelope ID: C3359678-0594-4843-8811-1F2617107BD8

The Santa Monica Sign Code provides minimum standards to safeguard life, safety, property, and public welfare by reviewing design and by regulating size, construction, location, electrification, operation, and maintenance of all signs and sign structures exposed to public view within the City. The visual appearance and traffic safety of the City cannot be achieved by measures less restrictive than the procedures and standards of this Chapter;
F. The City has extensive and wide-ranging programs regulating the aesthetics of its public streetscape and private development; and
G. It is also the intent of the City to regulate signs consistent with California Business and Professions Code Sections 5490 through 5499 to the maximum extent permitted by State law.

9.61.025 Substitution Clause
To ensure that the Santa Monica Sign Code is neutral with respect to noncommercial messages, subject to the property owner’s consent, a noncommercial message of any type may be substituted for any duly permitted or allowed commercial message or any duly permitted or allowed noncommercial message, provided that the sign structure or mounting device is legal without consideration of message content. Such substitution of message may be made without any additional approval or permitting. This provision prevails over any more specific provision to the contrary within this Chapter. The purpose of this provision is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over DocuSign Envelope ID: C3359678-0594-4843-8811-1F2617107BD8

7.C.e
Packet Pg. 1888 Attachment: Exhibit O Part 2 of 3 2022.04.26 (5083 : Second Reading - St Johns DA) 8 noncommercial speech. This provision does not create a right to increase the total amount of signage on a parcel, lot, or land use; does not affect the requirement that a sign structure or mounting device be properly permitted; does not allow a change in the physical structure of a sign or its mounting device; does not allow the substitution of an off-premises commercial message in place of an on-premises commercial message; does not allow one particular on-premises commercial message to be substituted for another without otherwise complying with this Sign Code; and does not excuse compliance with an approved sign program.
