Update on Seaside ADU Water Allocation
October 20, 2022 | City Council Meeting
2 Background
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are residential units built on the same site as another residential unit.
• ADUs are generally viewed as a way to reduce the impacts of California’s housing crisis.
• California Law allows very little local authority over ADU construction.
• On November 19, 2020, City Council allocated 5 acre-feet of water to support the construction of ADUs.
• On June 30, 2022, staff announced it would no longer
accept new permit applications for ADUs in order to ensure sufficient water remained.
ADU Water Allocation Update
• Staff has accepted 143 applications for ADUs utilizing this water
• 33 have been built
• 58 are approved/under construction
• 52 are under review
• These are located throughout the City
• In addition 10 units could be supported with CalHOME
