9 Resolution on Weed Abatement
February 2, 2022

that require an inspection and or clearance of hazardous vegetation. Property owners who object to the proposed removal of hazardous vegetation and the recovery of costs can attend the Public Hearing on February 16, 2022, to request to have their properties removed from the Los Angeles County Declaration List. The Public Hearing will be held at 1424 Mission Street, South Pasadena, CA, where their objections will be heard and given due consideration by the Agricultural Commissioner’s office.

Next Steps

1. Approve the resolution authorizing the County of Los Angeles Agricultural Commissioner’s Office to inspect and abate weeds, brush and native vegetation declared to be an existing or potential fire hazard; and

2. Schedule a Public Hearing to be held on February 16, 2022 to hear objections or protests to the vegetation management program.

Background
The City began participating in the vegetation management program through the County of Los Angeles on January 1, 2011. The vegetation management program through the Agriculture Commissioner’s office is an efficient and effective method to inspect and mitigate fire hazard problems associated with the annual growth of grass, brush and native vegetation. Fire Department staff works closely with the Agriculture Commissioner’s office to respond to customer complaints relating to brush clearance and to identify high hazard areas in need of weed, brush and/or rubbish removal.

Legal Review
The City Attorney has reviewed this item.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City. Property owners who elect not to abate vegetation hazards are assessed fees through the County of Los Angeles for the inspection, abatement, and administration of the vegetation management program.

10 Emergency Declaration/AB 361
February 2, 2022

Page 2 of 4 ends

AB 361 allows a local agency legislative body to hold a meeting utilizing teleconferencing without complying with the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing requirements if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and any of the following circumstances are present:
• State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
• The meeting is being held for the purposes of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
• The legislative body has determined by majority vote that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

If those circumstances are met and the City passes a resolution authorizing holding meetings by teleconference, then the City may hold meetings by teleconference if they comply with the following standards:
• Notice of the meeting must be given as required by the Brown Act. • The agenda must state how members of the public can access the meeting and offer public comment, including attendance by call-in option and/or internet-based service option. If the meeting broadcast or access to participation is disrupted (e.g., by technology issues), the City cannot take further action on agenda items until public access to the meeting is restored.
• The City cannot require public comments be submitted in advance of the meeting, but instead must provide an opportunity for real-time participation by members of the public.

The City can encourage public comment be submitted before meetings. • If the City provides a timed public comment period for each agenda item (i.e., 20 minutes per item), it cannot close public comment until that time period has concluded. If the City does not provide a timed public comment period for each agenda item, then it must allow a reasonable amount of time for members of the public to participate.

Background
Beginning in March 2020, Governor Newsom issued a series of Executive Orders aimed at containing the novel coronavirus. Executive Orders—N-25-20, N-29-20, and N-35-20 (Brown Act Orders) waived requirements in the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of city councilmembers, staff, or the public at local agency meetings. Specifically, the orders:
• waived the requirement that local agencies provide notice of each teleconference location from which a member of the legislative body will be participating in a public meeting, • waived the requirement that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, • waived the requirement that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference conference location,
• waived the requirement that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations, and,
10 - 2
Emergency Declaration/AB 361
February 2, 2022

Page 3 of 4 ends

• waived the requirement that at least a quorum of the members of the local body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction.

On June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, to begin winding down some of the prior measures that were adopted to respond to COVID-19. Notably, N-08-21 rescinds the Brown Act Orders, effective September 30, 2021.

On March 18, 2020, pursuant to Government Code Section 8630(c), the South Pasadena City Council adopted Resolution No. 7646 declaring a local emergency, restricting private and public gatherings, and establishing protections for residential and commercial tenants, among other things. The City has renewed the declaration of local emergency on May 5, 2020 (Resolution No. 7648), on June 17, 2020 (Resolution No. 7657), on August 5, 2020 (Resolution No. 7669), on August 19, 2020 (Resolution No. 7678), on October 21, 2020 (Resolution No. 7685), on December 16, 2020, (Resolution No. 7690), on February 17, 2021 (Resolution No. 7703), on April 7, 2021 (Resolution No. 7713), June 2, 2021 (Resolution No. 7721), July 21, 2021 (Resolution No. 7726), September 15, 2021 (Resolution No. 7732), November 3, 2021 (Resolution Nos. 7734 and 7739), December 1, 2021 (Resolution No. 7741), December 15, 2021 (Resolution No. 7743), and on January 12, 2022 (Resolution No. 7746).

On September 16, Governor Newsom signed AB 361, which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the Brown Act Orders.

Unlike the Brown Act Orders, AB 361 requires the City to make affirmative findings to take advantage of the more flexible teleconferencing standards.

AB 361 added Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e)(3), which states:
“If a state of emergency remains active, or state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, in order to continue to teleconference … the legislative body shall, not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time … and every 30 days thereafter, make the following findings by majority vote:
(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency. (B) Any of the following circumstances exist:
(i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.
(ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.”
The attached resolution makes the necessary findings authorizing the City to use teleconferenced meetings for the next 30 days. The City will need to adopt a resolution finding a public need to host teleconferenced meetings at subsequent meetings if it desires to maintain fully remote or hybrid meetings.

The proposed actions to preserve life, property, and public order are consistent with California Government Code section 8634 and South Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 11. 10 - 3

The City of South Pasadena is committed to keeping our community safe amidst the recent surges in COVID-19 cases. Since the June 15 reopening of everyday activities in the State of California, there has been a nationwide rise in new COVID-19 cases because of the more contagious Delta and Omicron variants. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health continues to track variant cases in Los Angeles County.

In light of the drastic increases in cases and resultant hospitalizations, and to lessen the severity of the Omicron and Delta variant surge in Los Angeles County and protect against overwhelming the health care delivery system, the Los Angeles County Public Health Officer issued a revised order on December 31, 2021, revising Isolation and Quarantine Requirements to mainly align with the State Public Health Officer’s revised Guidance issued December 30, 2021.

On January 5, 2022, the Los Angeles County Public Health Officer issued latest revised order, Responding Together At Work and In the Community, Beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, High Transmission- Encouraging COVID-19 Vaccination and Booster dose coverage with significant risk reduction measures, updating masking requirements for employers effective no later than January 17, 2022 and updating definitions for mega events effective January 15, 2022 in alignment with the State Public Health Officer's December 31, 2021 Order.

As recently as January 10, 2022, the Los Angeles County Public Health Officer issued an updated order, Responding Together At Work and In the Community, revising the Isolation and Quarantine Requirements to align with the State Public Health Officer’s revised Guidance for Local Health Jurisdictions on Isolation and Quarantine of the General Public, released on January 8, 2022.

Legal Review
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed this item.

Fiscal Impact
With the State declaration of a health emergency, local COVID-19 response efforts may be eligible for state or federal reimbursement. The costs of responding to COVID-19 are unknown at this time due to evolving conditions but are being tracked by staff. The costs of conducting teleconference meetings have been factored into the City’s budget.

was important to have both sets of regulations in place prior to January 1, 2022. The ADU Urgency Ordinance adopted on December 15, 2021 will automatically be repealed when the ADU Phase II Ordinance is adopted under the regular procedure. The first reading and introduction of Ordinance Amending the SPMC Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units was held on January 19, 2022.

Environmental (CEQA) Review
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed Code amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), which states the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It may be seen with certainty that there is no possibility this Zoning Code Amendment to amend regulations pertaining to ADUs may have a significant effect on the environment, as ADU development is generally a ministerial action and therefore, not a “project” under CEQA.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with the adoption of the Zoning Code Amendment. Based on City policy to encourage and facilitate construction of ADUs, the City does not charge an application processing fee for ADUs and only charges an inspection fee of $161. Building permit fees are determined based on the project valuation. There is no change to the existing fee requirements proposed as part of this action.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA AMENDING CHAPTER 36 (“ZONING”), ARTICLE III (“SITE PLANNING AND GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS”), SECTION 36.350.200 (“RESIDENTIAL USES—ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS”) OF THE CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, On March 4, 2021, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) finalized the new RHNA allocation numbers for the region, based on the State’s housing needs assessment.

WHEREAS, the City, which is largely built out, currently has approximately 10,007 existing housing units and considers ADU development to be an important source of future housing units, including affordable housing, to comply with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); and
WHEREAS, according to the City’s inventory of historic resources, there are more than 2,700 of properties within the City that are either formally designated on a federal, state or local register or eligible for historic designation or contributors to a historic district; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65852.2 authorizes the City to create objective standards for accessory dwelling unit development on historic properties that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, maximum size of a unit, and standards that prevent adverse impacts on historic properties; and WHEREAS, pursuant to a State Certified Local Government (CLG) grant, the City engaged consultant, ARG, to assist in the creation of both a set of objective design standards for ADU development on historic properties, and proposed amendments to the City’s existing ADU Ordinance in order to in provide opportunities for ministerial approval of ADU development on historic properties which also maintain the historic character of the City; and WHEREAS, several owners of historic properties have contacted the City’s Planning & Community Development Department for guidance on adding an ADU to their property; and WHEREAS, these ministerial development standards to facilitate ADU development on historic properties will help protect the integrity of the City’s historic resources, while allowing ADU development in support of the City’s RHNA allocation, including affordable housing development; and

The City Council now seeks to adopt this ordinance after first and second reading on a non-urgency basis.

The people of the City of South Pasadena do hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 36.350.200 (“Residential Uses—Accessory Dwelling Units”) or Article III ("Site Planning and General Development Standards”) of Chapter 36 ("Zoning") of the South Pasadena Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:

Conversion. All or a portion of an existing space or structure which is used to create an ADU or JADU (e.g., master bedroom, attached garage, storage area, or similar use, or an accessory structure) on the lot of the primary dwelling. A conversion does not include the portion of any expansion of the existing space or structure.

Detached ADU. The unit is separated from the primary dwelling.

3 273321.1
individual landmark or as a contributing structure to an eligible historic district, as authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 18955.

Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU). A specific type of conversion of existing space that is contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family residence, which shall not exceed 500 square feet in size. A JADU may share central systems (HVAC, water, electric), contain an efficiency kitchen or cooking facilities and bathroom, or may share a bathroom with the primary dwelling.

B. Applicability. The standards and criteria in this section apply to properties containing single-family or multifamily housing units within all zoning districts that allow residential uses.

These standards are in addition to all other applicable standards found in this Zoning Code; in case of conflict the standards of this section shall apply.

C. Applications. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2, applications for accessory dwelling units shall be considered ministerially (staff-level approval based on objective standards) within 60 days after the application is deemed complete. The application for the creation of an ADU or JADU shall be deemed approved if the local agency has not acted on the application within 60 days from the date it is deemed complete. The application process and requirements shall be set forth in a written document provided by the Planning Department.

1. Timing of Concurrent Applications. An applicant may submit an application to construct an ADU concurrently with other proposed development, such as new construction of or an addition to an existing primary dwelling. The following shall apply in these cases:
a. New construction of primary dwelling unit, with attached ADU/JADU or detached ADUs: Approval of all applicable discretionary entitlements for the primary dwelling shall be required before the ADU/JADU application may be deemed complete and approved. ADU applications submitted prior to the construction of a primary dwelling unit which was subject to discretionary review and which conflict with the conditions of approval for the primary dwelling unit shall be denied unless the primary dwelling unit conditions of approval are first amended.
b. Conversions of existing accessory structures: The ADU application for conversion of a detached accessory structure may be approved within 60 days after it has been deemed complete, regardless of a concurrent application for an addition to the primary dwelling. If the conversion is a garage that removes existing parking, replacement parking for the primary structure shall not be required, and the proposed addition to the primary dwelling shall not require additional parking.
c. Additions to existing primary dwelling unit with proposed attached ADU/JADU: Approval of all applicable discretionary entitlements for the primary dwelling shall be required before the attached ADU/JADU application may be deemed complete and approved, unless the ADU application is for a 11 - 6

If the application for an addition to the primary dwelling unit is deemed complete together with the ADU application, 800 square feet of the ADU shall be allowed to exceed the FAR and lot coverage in calculating the allowable floor area for the addition to the primary dwelling unit. If the ADU application includes a garage conversion that removes existing parking, replacement parking for the primary structure shall not be required, and the proposed addition to the primary dwelling shall not require additional parking.

2. Prerequisite Discretionary Permits. Accessory dwelling unit applications shall not be deemed complete until all applicable discretionary prerequisites have been approved.

Prerequisites may include tree removal permits, Certificates of Appropriateness, and hillside development permits.

8 273321.1
number of accessory dwelling units created do not exceed 25% of the number of existing multifamily dwelling units, or at least one unit, including the accessory dwelling units created.

G. Development Standards Applicable to ADUs on All Properties

1. Two-Story ADUs. Except as approved by the Design Review Board pursuant to E.1.d above, a two-story ADU shall comply with the following standards as applicable. Where these standards conflict with ADU design standards set forth in Sub-section (J) below for historic properties, the standards set forth in Sub-section (J) shall control. a. Windows: Where primary dwelling units are not allowed to build within 6 feet of the property line, the following shall be required: on 2nd floor elevations with setback less than 6 feet from a property line shared with adjacent residential parcels, only fixed windows, or fixed panes of a window assembly, composed of plain obscured glass (such as frosted) with no color shall be placed in the area up to 5 feet above the interior floor height. Any clear window or window pane on these elevations shall be placed so that the bottom of the clear glass is at least 5 feet above the interior floor height.
b. Balconies: Balconies shall only be allowed on elevations facing the interior of the property, e.g., facing the primary dwelling and/or the back yard area directly behind the primary dwelling. In the case of an ADU on a corner lot, a balcony may face the adjacent street.
c. Setbacks for 2nd floor: The second floor of an ADU shall be set back a minimum of 4 feet from the side and rear property line.
i. Notwithstanding the above, a second floor ADU proposed above an existing accessory structure shall be allowed to maintain the same setback as an existing wall provided the wall is at least three feet from the property line.

11 - 11
9 273321.1

5. Mechanical Equipment. Outdoor equipment associated with electric split or mini-split heating and cooling systems dedicated solely to an attached or detached ADU may be placed in the rear yard setback area.

H. Parking

1. Exemptions. With the exception of I.1, below, no off-street parking shall be required for an ADU or JADU if:
a. The ADU is located within one-half mile walking distance of a bus stop or light rail station.
b. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the ADU.
c. The ADU is within an historic district or an eligible historic district, or a designated historic property, as identified by the National Register for Historic Places, the California Register for Historic Places, or the City’s Cultural Heritage Ordinance.
d. The ADU or JADU is within the existing primary dwelling. e. There is a car share vehicle located within one block of the ADU.

2. Parking required. Parking shall be required for an accessory dwelling unit under the following conditions (see also I.1, below):
a. If the ADU does not qualify for an exemption based on the list above, in which case one off-street parking space shall be required.
b. If the ADU or ADUs are within a multi-family property, in which case one offstreet parking space shall be required per three accessory dwelling units, or fraction thereof. The requirement shall be cumulative if ADUs are built sequentially.

I. High Risk Fire Areas. The areas of the City defined as “high risk fire area” pursuant to SPMC Section 14.1, are subject to additional requirements for parking and fire sprinklers due to topographic and climatic conditions which create public safety risks, including accessibility of fire apparatus on narrow streets, and delay times in evacuation and response due to accessibility challenges. Requiring parking on-site is intended to reduce parking on the narrow streets, in order to increase accessibility of fire apparatus and facilitate evacuation; use of fire sprinklers in new development helps control the spread of small fires, which promotes effectiveness in controlling a fire in early stages, allowing for responding fire apparatus and suppression crew to arrive on scene and deploy industry-standard pre-connected 250-foot hose lines or standard hose 11 - 12
10 273321.1
packs as necessary to reach and defend occupants and structures. Based on these findings of public safety necessity, proposed ADUs and JADUs in the High Risk Fire Area shall be subject to the following additional requirements.

1. Parking. If the property is located adjacent to a narrow street, defined as a street with a width of less than 28 feet, one off-street parking space shall be provided. The ADU may not displace existing parking for the primary residence. Notwithstanding, a garage may be converted to an ADU if all removed parking spaces are provided elsewhere on the property for the primary dwelling in addition to the parking space to be provided for the ADU.

2. Fire Sprinklers. Fire sprinklers shall be required.

3. Distance from front property line. A detached ADU shall be located within 150 feet of the front property line in order to facilitate emergency fire access, including deployment of an industry-standard, pre-connected 250-foot hose line. Notwithstanding, for flag lots, for the purpose of deploying industry-standard hose-packs, the ADU may be located within 100 feet of a dry standpipe installed on the property with approval of the Fire Chief.

J. Design Standards for Historic Properties

1. Applicability. ADUs proposed for development on a historic single- or multi-family property shall comply with the Design Standards set forth in this Sub-section (J) and the South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties.

2. Exemptions. Detached ADUs and accessory structure additions on a historic property that are not visible from the public right-of-way are not subject to compliance with Subsection (J) or the South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties. Visibility from the public right-of-way for this purpose shall be determined as follows:
a. Visibility of the structure from the street immediately in front of and within 10 feet on either side of any street-adjacent property line(s). This shall include both adjacent streets for corner properties. An alley is not considered a public right-ofway for this purpose. 11 - 13
11 273321.1
b. Vegetation, gates, fencing, and any other landscaping elements shall not be considered in determining visibility from the public right-of-way.

3. Procedures. Detached ADUs subject to requirements of this Sub-section (J) shall require ministerial (staff-level) approval, except in the following instances:
a. Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) Review and Approval. CHC review and approval shall be required if an application proposes new construction of a detached ADU or additions to an existing accessory structure if the proposed ADU does not comply with the standards set forth in this Sub-section (J).

4. Location.
a. New Construction, Detached ADU. Detached ADUs shall be located at the rear of the property, except as provided in Sub-section b, below. b. New Construction, Detached ADU in front of primary dwelling. If 50% or more of the primary dwelling is located at the rear 1/3rd of a property and there is no other location on the property in which a maximum 800 square foot ADU could be added, a detached ADU shall be allowed in front of the primary dwelling, in compliance with Sub-sections E.1.e and J.8, and with the following:
i. ADUs proposed in front of the primary dwelling shall not be placed in a manner that blocks visibility of more than 50% of the front/primary façade (the façade containing the main entrance) from the public right-of-way, using the definition of Visibility provided in Sub-section J.2, above. ii.

Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Design Guidelines for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Development on Historic Properties. It establishes the purpose of the Design Guidelines, their application and use, and the approval process for ADU projects on historic properties and in historic districts. 11 - 24
6 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Preface
In response to the statewide housing shortage, California State Government Code Section 65852.150, which pertains to the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), has been amended to encourage denser development on single-family and multi-family residential properties. On October 9, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom signed further changes to ADU regulations into law, which became effective in January 2020. The City of South Pasadena has implemented a number of measures to achieve compliance with the State legislation, while also protecting its historic resources.

In order to facilitate the ADU review process and provide a way for staff-level approval, the City has developed a set of Design Standards for ADUs on Historic Properties, incorporated into the ADU Ordinance (South Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 36, Article 3, Section 36.350.200). These Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties are intended to help homeowners to create an ADU that would not require discretionary review or approval by the Cultural Heritage Commission.

For many residents of South Pasadena, especially those living in a historic house, building an ADU will be their first chance to improve their property and express their creativity, adding to the built fabric of the City. While the City offers a streamlined review process for ADUs meeting the Design Standards in the ADU Ordinance, for those who wish to be more creative in their designs that may not meet the objective Design Standards, the ADU Ordinance provides procedures for review and approval by the Cultural Heritage Commission.

This project was made possible through State Certified Local Government (CLG) grant funding from the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) and National Parks Service (NPS).

Historic Overview of Accessory Structures
An understanding of the history and development of accessory structures and their relationship to the primary dwelling is helpful when undertaking an ADU project on a historic property.

Accessory structures in the late 19th and early 20th century (Victorian Era) were often quite ornate and featured a variety of architectural elements popular during the period, including complex roof forms, wood spindle work, and decorative shingle cladding. Nineteenth century pattern books, such as Rural Architecture, Cottage Residences, and The Country House, provided an array of ornate gardener’s cottages, carriage houses, gate lodges, stables, and poultry houses.

During the Arts and Crafts period at the turn of the 20th century through the 1910s, accessory structures became more utilitarian. Agricultural uses gave way to carriage houses or garages that usually mimicked the style of the primary residence in a simplified manner and reduced scale. Popular pattern books and magazines such as House Beautiful and Good Housekeeping illustrated designs of affordable houses and garages.

In the 1920s and 1930s, accessory structures such as garages and pool houses also reflected modest versions of their primary residences, which were typically designed in various Period Revival idioms including Neoclassical, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival.

Early Modern and Mid-Century Modern residences of the 1920s through the post-World War II period typically had garages that were minimalist in design.

8 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties South Pasadena: A City Rich with History
The City of South Pasadena, incorporated in 1888, possesses a wealth of intact historic resources including residences, public buildings, neighborhoods, and commercial districts. The excellent state of integrity of many of these resources attests to a community that has recognized the social and economic value of preserving and conserving its city’s history. This effort goes back more than 50 years, with the establishment of a Cultural Heritage Commission to advise the South Pasadena City Council in 1971. It is important to continue this legacy, encouraging new development that responds thoughtfully to the historic existing built environment.

South Pasadena’s landscape has played a pivotal role in the cultural history of the Los Angeles basin, even before European settlement. For the Tongva and Kizh people, the Arroyo Seco served as a natural fording place that allowed for the transport of people and goods across the San Gabriel Valley and toward the coast. After Spanish conquest, and under Mexican rule, the first adobe structures on the Rancho San Pasqual—the land grant that formed the basis for Pasadena, South Pasadena, and Altadena—were built in South Pasadena.

In 1888, South Pasadena became the sixth community to incorporate in Los Angeles County. By this time, the area was becoming a popular destination for wealthy Easterners escaping the winter, with attractions such as the Raymond Hotel and the Cawston Ostrich Farm. Companies including the California Fruit Growers Exchange (later Sunkist) carpeted the city in orange trees, and the fragrant groves and balmy weather of South Pasadena were touted nationwide. Widespread development followed swiftly, including winter homes for East Coast magnates, bohemian dwellings in the Arroyo Seco by the circle of the writer Charles Lummis, and middle-class single-family residences in newly platted neighborhoods.

The Craftsman style came to dominate residential development in South Pasadena between 1900 and 1925. Influenced by the English Arts and Crafts movement, the design idiom emphasized proportional and well-crafted wood-frame construction and simplified lines. The Craftsman style emerged in the greater Arroyo Seco and Pasadena area with the work of the architects Charles and Henry Greene, who designed both high-style mansions and simple bungalows; here it flourished and, with the help of pattern books and architectural journals, spread throughout the country.

In the 1920s and ‘30s, the rapidly growing residential
neighborhoods of South Pasadena were populated with homes in a range of styles, including the Mission and Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and American Colonial Revival. These picturesque residences, set in a verdantly landscaped suburban setting, gave South Pasadena its reputation of small-town tranquility and authenticity connected to a dynamic urban core.

Today, there are nine formally designated residential historic districts in South Pasadena, and several more that have been identified as eligible for recognition. Preserving and carefully adapting these neighborhoods for new generations of residents is crucial to honoring South Pasadena’s rich cultural heritage.

The South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties will help ensure the continued protection of the city’s historical character and scale, a high priority in the South Pasadena General Plan, while addressing the important statewide concerns for allowing additional housing through facilitating the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on properties within the city.

10 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Design guidelines are one of many urban planning tools communities can use to encourage high-quality design and construction. This approach has been adopted and implemented in many Southern California communities.

The purpose of the South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties is to preserve the historic and architectural character of the city by providing historic preservation guidance and resources for property owners and design professionals planning an ADU/JADU on a historic property or in a historic district. The guidelines will also be used by the City of South Pasadena Department of Planning and Building in evaluating such projects.

The Design Guidelines provide suggestions on how best to build an ADU/JADU in a way that preserves the historic character and significant features of the historic property and/or historic neighborhood.

What’s an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)? A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU)? An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a residential unit added on an existing residential parcel. ADUs are subordinate to the main residence, generally due to their location on the lot and/or the smaller size of the unit. Also known as Secondary Units, Granny Flats, or In-Law Units, ADUs may be developed on an underutilized portion of a lot, within an existing accessory structure (i.e. a garage), or attached to an existing accessory structure. ADUs are independent units that have their own kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas. Additions to historic residences have to go through the Certificate of Appropriateness procedure outlined in the South Pasadena Cultural Heritage Ordinance.

A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a residential unit with its own entrance, built entirely within the existing footprint and square footage of the primary residential building. A JADU may share central systems (HVAC, water, electric), contain an efficiency kitchen or cooking facilities and a bathroom, or it may share a bathroom with the primary dwelling.

Application and Use of the Guidelines
These Design Guidelines are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and are intended to complement the ADUs Design Standards for Historic Properties in the South Pasadena ADU Ordinance (South Pasadena Municipal Code, Ch. 36, Article 3, Section 36.350.200). These Design Guidelines are meant as a planning tool for projects involving individual properties and districts listed in the City’s Inventory of Cultural Resources.

City of South Pasadena Inventory of Cultural Resources
The Inventory of Cultural Resources (the Inventory) is the City’s formally adopted, official list of historic properties (South Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 2, Article IVH, Section 2.64). The Inventory includes properties that are formally designated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), and/or the South Pasadena Register of Landmarks and Historic Districts (South Pasadena Register). It also includes properties that have been determined eligible for listing in the National Register, California Register, and South Pasadena Register. The Inventory contains 2,718 individual properties and contributors to historic districts.

The Inventory is composed of commercial, institutional, and residential properties. However, the vast majority of individual properties and historic districts are residential. These Design Guidelines provide guidance on best preservation practices and contextual design when planning an ADU or JADU project on a single- or multi-family residential property and/or within a residential historic district listed in the City’s Inventory. For more information about the Inventory, see Chapter 5, Regulatory Framework.

12 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Approval Process
According to State ADU law (Section 65852.2 of the Government Code), ADU/JADU projects must be considered or reviewed ministerially (by staff), without discretionary review or a hearing. Under State law, cities may require that ADU/JADU projects on historic properties comply with design standards, provided that the standards are objective.

In compliance with State code, ADUs are permitted on historic properties and in historic districts where residential development or residential mixed-use development is allowed in South Pasadena. ADUs that include any exterior change to a historic property listed in the City’s Inventory must comply with the ADUs Design Standards for Historic Properties, with a few exceptions (see below).

Because a proposal for an ADU to be attached to a historic residence requires discretionary review in order to protect the historic resource consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15331) and South Pasadena Cultural Heritage Ordinance, no attached ADUs are permitted for a historic residence in the city.

Even if your ADU/JADU project does not require compliance with the Design Standards, you are encouraged to use these Design Guidelines if your project is located on a historic property or in a historic district. Use the following flow chart to determine the type of approval your ADU/JADU will require.

Is your ADU/JADU...

1. on a property with an individually designated or individually eligible dwelling listed in the City’s Inventory; or

Chapter 2
Planning Your ADU/JADU
This Chapter provides information on the issues that need to be addressed during the process of planning an ADU/JADU project on your historic property.

There are a number of items that should be considered before deciding to add an ADU/JADU on a historic property or within a historic district. The ADU’s/JADU’s location, height, size, setback restrictions, and orientation should be taken into account when planning your ADU/JADU project.

Generally, ADUs should:
• Be located at the rear of the property (see pages 16-17); • Be visually subordinate to the primary dwelling in height and square footage (see pages 19-20); • Be compatible with the exterior architectural style, materials, and features of the primary dwelling (see Chapters 3 and 4); and
• Be designed to fit in with the fabric of the neighborhood or historic district in which it is located. The size, scale, and massing of the ADU should be compatible with that of the primary dwelling as well as its surrounding historic environment.

The above buildings highlighted in yellow represent an accessory structure conversion (left) and new detached ADU (right) that are compatible with the size, scale, and massing of their primary dwelling as well as the surrounding neighborhood. 11 - 34

Within the existing
primary dwelling (JADU),
provided it has its own
exterior entrance
Within an existing converted

ADUs should be smaller in size than the primary dwelling. While detached ADUs are allowed up to 1,200 square feet, the size and scale of the historic dwelling should be considered when deciding how large your ADU will be.

For example, if your primary dwelling is 1,000 square feet, a 1,200-square-foot ADU is not recommended because it would be larger than the primary dwelling.

11 - 42
24 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Overall Design Principles
The design, features, and materials of your ADU will vary slightly depending on the type of residential unit (accessory structure conversion/addition, JADU, or new detached ADU) you plan to build, as well as the historic character of the neighborhood in which your property is located.

In general, all ADUs/JADUs should comply with the following:
• An ADU should be constructed of materials that are similar to the primary dwelling and neighborhood context in scale, color, and texture.
• An ADU’s architectural features and details should be similar to the primary dwelling and neighborhood context in overall character, but with minor variations to differentiate the ADU/JADU from the historic building. □ For example, single-light, double-hung wood windows may be appropriate on an ADU if the primary dwelling has multi-light, double-hung wood windows.
• Avoid copying the style of the primary dwelling exactly or using conjectural features that may create a false sense of history.
• The new design, architectural features, and details of the ADU should be simple and modest so as not to detract from the primary dwelling.
• Decorative stylistic elements, such as quoins, half-timbering, turrets, ornamental grilles, and decoratively carved wood details, should be avoided when designing an ADU.
• The pattern and orientation (i.e. horizontal or vertical) of the ADU’s/JADU’s windows and doors should relate to those on the primary dwelling.

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURAL STYLES
Refer to Chapter 4 to learn more about the historic architectural styles most commonly found in South Pasadena’s residential neighborhoods. The ADU/JADU should relate to the primary dwelling’s architectural style.

HISTORIC ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
Before making any changes to an existing accessory structure, it must first be determined whether the accessory structure is considered to be historic.

Example of a historic accessory structure conversion (courtesy of Louisa Van Leer Architecture) Converting and/or expanding an existing accessory structure, like a garage, may be an appropriate way to add an ADU to your property.

Roofs and Wall Cladding
Design Elements
Roofs
• The ADU roof type must match the roof type of the primary dwelling or existing accessory structure (if attached to the accessory structure). The roof pitch must be similar to the primary dwelling/accessory structure and within the roof pitch range that is appropriate for the architectural style of the dwelling/structure. Refer to Chapter 4 for information on acceptable roof pitches by style. Following are the roof types and pitches most commonly found on South Pasadena’s historic residential properties.

• In most instances, the ADU roof material should match the primary dwelling/accessory structure. Exceptions include the following:
□ Composition shingle roofing is an acceptable alternative to wood shingle. □ Cement tile roofing is an acceptable alternative to clay tile. □ Solar shingle roofing is an acceptable alternative to asphalt composition or wood shingle roofing. • Vinyl tiles and cement shakes are prohibited.

Wall Cladding
• In most instances, the ADU wall cladding needs to match the cladding of the primary dwelling or the existing accessory structure (if attached to the accessory structure) in material and orientation (i.e. horizontal or vertical).

Exceptions include the following:
□ Wood composite siding is an acceptable alternative to wood siding. • The ADU’s cladding must be differentiated from the primary dwelling/accessory structure in color, profile, and/or width.

28 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Entrances
• If the original garage door on an accessory structure will remain in place after the ADU conversion, consider adding a new pedestrian door on the side façade rather than within the garage door. • JADU entrances must be located on a secondary (non-street facing) façade, or the façade that does not contain the main entrance to the primary dwelling (if on a corner lot property). • Detached ADU entrances should generally be oriented to face the same direction as the primary dwelling’s entrance. • Entrances may consist of a porch or stoop. Avoid adding highly decorative elements, such as decoratively carved posts or stone veneer cladding, to the porch/stoop.

32 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Victorian-Era Styles
Victorian-Era architecture became popular in the United States during the 1860s when new advances in construction (i.e. the creation of the lighter wood “balloon” framing and wire nails) allowed for more complicated building forms.

Victorian-Era architecture was further popularized during the Centennial celebrations of 1876, becoming the dominant architectural idiom of the 19th century. Victorian-Era architecture is loosely derived from Medieval English and classical precedents, typically featuring vertical massing, multi-colored or multi-textured walls, steeply pitched roofs, asymmetrical façades, and classical detailing. The architectural idiom includes elaborate styles such as Queen Anne and Shingle (characterized by its wood shingle siding). These early, more embellished and complex examples were typically designed by professionally trained architects and builders. As these new architectural types gained popularity, more modest examples, such as the American Foursquare and Neoclassical Cottage types, proliferated across the country. By the turn of the century, Victorian-Era architecture had moved out of favor, replaced with America’s first truly modern styles, Craftsman and Prairie.

The following style subsets fall under Victorian-Era architecture:

Victorian-Era dwellings typically have steep-pitch (between 8/12 and 18/12) gable or hipped roofs with open or boxed eaves. Hipped roof dormer windows are common.

Victorian-Era dwellings typically have narrow wood clapboard siding (between 3” and 4” wide). Some residences are clad in wood shingles as either the primary siding type or as decorative accent cladding.

36 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Craftsman
The Craftsman style is an regional style that drew inspiration from the English Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the 20th century and adapted its tenets for a highly local architectural phenomenon, drawing on local climate and materials. It proliferated at a time during which Southern California was experiencing tremendous growth in population, expansion of homeownership, and new aesthetic choices. The style was popularized by magazines such as Residence Beautiful and Architectural Record, and pattern books, which published plans and even provided precut packages of details and lumber for individual assembly. Craftsman architecture combines Swiss and Japanese elements with the artistic values of the Arts and Crafts movement. Craftsman dwellings typically feature horizontal massing, low-pitched roofs, and exposed wood structural elements. The style began to lose popularity in the 1920s with the emergence of Period Revival styles.

Following are examples of the Craftsman Style:

40 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Prairie
The Prairie style was developed by a group of late 19th-century Midwestern architects who practiced in a modern style inspired by the flat landscape and vernaculars of the American heartland. Among this school, it was eminent architect Frank Lloyd Wright who brought the style to its greatest refinement and renown. Wright’s Prairie style dwellings evince what would come to be known as the idiom’s defining characteristics: two-story structures with horizontal massing, rectangular masonry piers, jutting square porches, and wide eaves. Ornamentation is sparse and rectilinear. Popularized by pattern books, the Prairie style gained prominence in the United States after 1900.

In Southern California, architects working in the Craftsman style adopted the Prairie style as an alternative modern idiom: its light-colored, stucco-clad volumes offered a contrast to the Craftsman’s dark wood. Nonetheless, the Prairie style never rivaled the regional popularity of the California Craftsman; the style fell out of favor nationally by 1920.

44 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Mediterranean and Indigenous Revival Styles
The Mediterranean and Indigenous Revival Styles have enjoyed favor in Southern California since the 1890s for their suitability to the region’s balmy climate and association with early California history. The first of these styles to gain ascendancy, the Mission Revival, directly adapted the idioms of California’s late 18th-century Spanish missions, featuring white stucco cladding, red tile roofs, covered arcades, and bell-shaped parapets. Fashionable from 1890 through World War I, the style was soon followed by the Spanish Colonial Revival style, a massively popular architectural mode of the 1920s and 1930s. Less prolific than the Spanish Colonial Revival idiom, the Monterey Revival, which features a cantilevered wooden balcony after the colonial architecture of Monterey Bay, appeared as a variation in affluent enclaves.

The Mediterranean Revival, a related style inspired by the architecture of Italy, also flourished during this era.

It is distinguished from the Spanish Revival by a hipped roof and more formal, often symmetrical massing. The Adobe Revival, which saw a return to the mudbrick construction techniques of the colonial era and its indigenous antecedents, was less prolific in the South California region. With the cultural and economic changes of World War II, these revival styles fell out of fashion.

The following style subsets fall under Mediterranean and Indigenous Revival architecture:

Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival style was loosely based on a variety of Medieval and 16th/17th century English building traditions, ranging from thatched roof Tudor cottages to grandiose Elizabethan and Jacobean manor residences. The first Tudor Revival style residences appeared in the United States at the end of the 19th century. These residences were typically elaborate and architect-designed. Much like other Period Revival styles, Tudor Revival architecture became extremely popular during the 1920s population boom in Southern California. Masonry veneering techniques of the 1920s and ‘30s helped to further disseminate the style, as even modest residences could afford to mimic the brick and stone exteriors of traditional English designs. The popularity of the Tudor Revival style waned during the Great Depression as less ornate building designs prevailed. Although the style continued to be used through the 1930s, later interpretations of Tudor Revival architecture were much simpler in terms of form and design.

Following are examples of Tudor Revival architecture:

Neoclassical
The Neoclassical style is inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Its followers interpreted GrecoRoman classicism through the curriculum of the first professional school of architecture, the Parisian École des Beaux-Arts. The idiom was introduced to the American public in the lavish pavilions of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It remained popular in institutional, commercial, and residential architecture for the next six decades. Residences in the Neoclassical style are characterized by front porticoes or porches with double-height columns, symmetrical massing, and simply ornamented wall surfaces.

Italian Renaissance Revival
Part of an American architectural lineage that took inspiration from ancient Roman and Italian architecture, the Italian Renaissance Revival emerged in the 1890s. The first high-style residences of the Italian Renaissance Revival were designed by graduates of the École des Beaux-Arts for affluent clients who had often visited Italy firsthand. In form and detail, these homes were meticulously modeled on Italian Renaissance palazzos. When masonry veneering techniques were perfected around 1920, vernacular variants of the style began to proliferate. The style remained in favor until the late 1930s when it was eclipsed by other historicist idioms. Italian Renaissance Revival residences have hipped or flat roofs with wide eaves and brackets, are typically clad in light colored stucco, and often have symmetrical façades with recessed entries.

French Revival Styles
A variety of architectural styles inspired by various periods of French architecture appeared in the United States during the 1910s. During the 1920s population boom in Southern California, the French Revival style was commonly applied to single-family residences as well as multi-family apartment buildings. Simple in composition and detailing, the French Provincial subset is based upon the country residences of the French Provinces. Chateauesque variants commonly have pronounced corner turrets, a more vertical orientation, and more elaborate detailing.

Colonial Revival Styles
Colonial Revival styles take as their basis the residential style favored by the elite in colonial America and during the first decades of nationhood. This late 18th-century idiom imitated the Neo-Palladian architecture of the English gentry, a simply proportioned classicism that reacted against the decadence of the Baroque. Popular enthusiasm for the design of the American colonial period emerged after the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. American Colonial Revival residences constructed between 1900 and 1940 typically feature clapboard or brick exteriors, symmetrical facades, and classical details. A variation, the Georgian Revival style, more rigorously follows 18thcentury precedents, with characteristics including brick exterior cladding, a two-story rectangular form, and a symmetrical façade often five bays in length. Another idiom, the Dutch Colonial Revival, references the Dutch colonial residences of the Atlantic seaboard with gambrel roofs and flared eaves, and sometimes wood shingle cladding.

Early Modern Styles
The styles of Early Modernism eliminated ornament and historical allusions in favor of simple forms that expressed function, efficiency, and lightness. Initial experimentation with a stark, machine-inspired architectural language began in Europe around the time of World War I with the founding of the Bauhaus School by Walter Gropius. The work of Bauhaus-affiliated architects, which came to define the International Style, featured reinforced concrete structures, steel ribbon windows, flat roofs, and open floor plans. Starting in the 1920s, a generation of European architects brought the style to Southern California, adopting a new openness and simplicity of form in the region’s temperate climate. The International Style’s rejection of ornament was deemed too austere by the larger public at the time of its introduction in the U.S. For this reason, examples of the style are relatively rare. However, starting in the 1930s, machine-age “moderne” styles began to gain popular appeal. Streamline Moderne borrowed from the aerodynamic design of automobiles, oceanliners, and airplanes to create a sleek architecture of horizontal lines, curving forms, and smooth walls. A material efficiency inherited from European modernism, combined with a buoyant American technological optimism, made it a favored idiom during the Great Depression. By the end of World War II, Early Modern styles were phased out in favor of new Modern idioms.

Minimal Traditional
The Minimal Traditional style emerged in the mid-1930s as a response to the need for inexpensive, efficient residences that could be mass produced through loans from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Construction of Minimal Traditional residences skyrocketed during World War II to meet the immediate pressing demand for housing to accommodate the onslaught of wartime factory workers who had relocated to Southern California.

The style remained popular into the late 1940s as pre-approved FHA designs made them conducive to the rapid construction of single- and multi-family residences that occurred throughout Southern California after the war.

Ranch Styles
Though the earliest examples of Ranch style architecture date to the late 1920s and 1930s, the style spread rapidly after World War II, when it became the preferred choice for residential architecture in many cities and suburbs across the country. Innovative Southern California builder Cliff May helped to popularize the style through a series of articles included in Sunset Magazine in the mid-1940s. Ranch style residences were a favorite among home buyers for their modern amenities and affordable prices, and lending institutions and builders considered the style more acceptable compared to the dramatic Mid-Century Modern designs of the same period. While the style was most often used in the design of single-family residences, multi-family apartment buildings and small-scale commercial properties can be found as well. Ranch style residences fall into two primary sub-sets: Traditional Ranch and Contemporary Ranch.

The subsets differ in some of their design features, as noted below.

82 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Mid-Century Modern
In Southern California, Mid-Century Modern architecture was prevalent between the mid-1940s and mid-1970s.

While the style was a favorite among some of Southern California’s most influential architects, its minimal ornamentation and simple open floor plans lent itself to the mass-produced housing developments of the postwar period. Mid-Century Modern architecture typically incorporated standardized and prefabricated materials that also proved well-suited to mass production. Subsets of the Mid-Century Modern style include Googie, which is a highly exaggerated, futuristic aesthetic, typically employing upswept or folded plate roofs, curvaceous, geometric volumes, and neon signage, and Mimetic, which is characterized by its application of objects or forms that resemble something other than a building. Both the Googie and Mimetic subsets are very rarely used in the design of residential buildings.

The Mid-Century Modern style and its subsets were broadly applied to a wide variety of property types ranging from residential subdivisions and commercial buildings to churches and public schools.

Following are examples of Mid-Century Modern architecture:

South Pasadena administers its own designation program for historic properties within the city. The South Pasadena Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) was established in 1971 under the City of South Pasadena Municipal Code to make recommendations, decisions, and determinations regarding the identification, protection, enhancement, perpetuation, and use of resources that reflect the architectural, artistic, cultural, engineering, aesthetic, historical, political, and social heritage of the city. The CHC is responsible for making recommendations to City Council regarding the designation of individual properties (Historic Landmarks) and thematically related groupings of properties (Historic Districts). (City Council has the final authority on designation.) The CHC also reviews exterior alterations to properties listed in the City’s Inventory of Cultural Resources.

The Inventory of Cultural Resources (the Inventory) is the City’s formally adopted, official list of historic properties. The Inventory includes properties that are formally designated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), and/or the South Pasadena Register of Landmarks and Historic Districts (South Pasadena Register). It also includes properties that have been determined eligible for listing in the National Register, California Register, and South Pasadena Register. The Inventory contains 2,718 individual properties and contributors to historic districts.

The intention of the South Pasadena ADU Ordinance is to prevent adverse impacts on properties that are listed in the Inventory of Cultural Resources. Properties listed in the Inventory meet the definition of a historical resource according to California Public Resources Code, 5020.1, CEQA Guidelines 15064.5(a), and California Health and Safety Code 18955. Consistent with Health & Safety Code Section 18955, the City’s ADU Ordinance defines “historic property,” as “a property that is: 1) designated as a landmark or as a contributor to a designated historic district; 2) identified on an inventory that has been adopted by the City as a property with potential as an individual landmark or as a contributing structure to a potential historic district, as authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 18955.”

The California Register of Historical Resources (California Register) is the authoritative guide to the state’s significant historical and archeological resources. In 1992, the California legislature established the California Register “to be used by state and local agencies, private groups, and citizens to identify the state’s historical resources and to indicate what properties are to be protected, to the extent prudent and feasible, from substantial adverse change.” The California Register program encourages public recognition and protection of resources of architectural, historical, archaeological, and cultural significance; identifies historical resources for state and local planning purposes; determines eligibility for historic preservation grant funding; and affords certain protections under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All resources listed in or formally determined eligible for the National Register are automatically listed in the California Register. In addition, properties designated under municipal or county ordinances, or through local historic resources surveys, are eligible for listing in the California Register (though they are not automatically listed in the Register).

CEQA
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is an
environmental law that requires state and local agencies to identify and publicly disclose significant environmental impacts of discretionary actions, and to avoid or mitigate any impact if feasible. Some historic building projects, especially changes in use and demolitions, may require environmental review. The South Pasadena Cultural Heritage Commission is responsible for reviewing all applications for permits, environmental assessments, environmental impact reports, environmental impact statements, and other CEQA documents pertaining to cultural resources. 11 - 110
92 I City of South Pasadena Design Guidelines for ADU Development on Historic Properties Policy & Regulatory Framework
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties
The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings provide recommendations and guidelines for stewards of historic properties to determine appropriate treatments. They are intentionally broad in language to apply to a wide range of circumstances and are designed to enhance the understanding of basic preservation principles. The Standards are neither technical nor prescriptive, but are intended to promote responsible preservation practices that ensure continued protection of historic properties. There are four basic approaches outlined in the Standards: Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction.

The Standards for Rehabilitation, which are the most
comprehensive and commonly used of the four approaches, are outlined below. ADU/JADU projects should comply with Standard Nos. 9 and 10, which focus on appropriate related new construction and reversibility.

1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships.

2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.

3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.

4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.

5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
11 - 111
Ch. 5 - Regulatory Framework I 93

6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature
will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.

7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.

8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.

9. New additions, exterior alterations or related new
construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.

10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

12 Commission Review and Council Final Direction
The Finance Commission reviewed the findings at the Commission’s regularly scheduled meeting of September 23, 2021 and recommended a pay down of both the OPEB as well as the Safety and Miscellaneous plan. The item was then presented and discussed at length during the regularly scheduled November 10, 2020 City Council meeting as well as a special study session held on January 12, 2022. At the last session, the City Council finalized the course of action to be as follows:

With $5,374,439 in total funding, the direction was to pay down the OPEB in a flat amount of $1,125,000 (to the new trustee) with the balance of the funding ($4,249,439) to be allocated proportionately among the main Safety and Miscellaneous plans based on UAL percentages.

Therefore 67% and 33% went to the Safety and Miscellaneous plans respectively.

Funding
$ 4,374,439 Cell Tower Revenue
500,000 Retiree Medical Benefits
500,000 Retiree Pension Benefits
$ 5,374,439 Total Available
Usage
$ 2,847,124 PERS Safety Plan (67%)
1,402,315 PERS Miscellaneous Plan (33%)
1,125,000 OPEB Trust (flat amount)
$ 5,374,439 Total Distributed
Analysis
The approval of the above funding would constitute two actions: 1) payment to CalPERS and 2) establishment of an OPEB trust.

Pension UAL Pay down
There are many benefits to the City selecting to pay down the current UAL by paying directly to PERS. They are:
• Locked in long-term implicit interest rate savings of 7% • PERS likely to earn a greater return over the long-term due to its diversity in investments • Immediately reduces pension liability on financial statements and GASB reporting • Reduces required payments in future years
• No ongoing administrative costs/fees
Upon approval of pay down, the Director of Finance will execute the payment to PERS to allow the City to immediately start to receive these benefits.

OPEB Trust Establishment
There are also many benefits to pre-funding the City’s $17.4 UAL in OPEB. Among them are:
12 - 2
• Future benefits can be paid partly from investment earnings instead of the current City budget
• Intergenerational equity – taxpayers/residents who receive current City services should pay for the current employee comp/benefits. They should not be paid by future taxpayers • OPEB is an employee benefit just like pensions
• Ensures costs are truly paid in era accrued
With approval of this action, the City Manager and Director of Finance will execute the necessary documents to establish an OPEB trust for the safekeeping of funds for this endeavor.

At this time, staff has reached out to four renowned OPEB Trustee entities. Below are their attached fees in basis points ($1,125,000 x .00xx) and what the annual fee would be:

Name Fee

Cost
CERBT - CalPERS 10 bpm $1,125
PARS-Pub. Agency Ret. Svcs. 60 bpm $6,750
Keenan Financial Svcs. 60 bpm $6,750
Public Financial Mgmt. * - -
* No submittal at time of report
These annual fees generally cover administrative, trustee and investment management costs. The approval of tonight’s recommendation would allow the Finance Director and City Manager to finalize trust arrangements with the selected provider.

Fiscal Impact
These pay downs of liability will not affect the current year’s budget as the funds have been held in a restrictive reserve account. However, the City will immediately be able to reduce its currently stated liability on it financial statements as well as start to see a reduction in future year PERS annual required payments.

With regard to the newly-established OPEB trust, the City will be paying annual trustee fees ranging from $1,125 to $6,750 but will have provided for a future liability.

Commission Review
Commission has conferred on the concept of paying down these liabilities.

PAYING DOWN THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY & RATE STABILIZATION  All options for mitigating future contribution increases involve paying more money sooner
 CalPERS liabilities grow 7% per year
 City internal investments restricted to very low risk  Where do you get the money from?
 Sources of funds: City funds, borrowing, bargain with employees to pay more  How do you use the money?

September 23, 2021 DRAFT 62
WHERE DO YOU GET THE MONEY FROM?
 POB:
 Usually thought of as interest arbitrage between expected earnings and rate paid on POB
 No guaranteed savings
 PEPRA prevents contributions from dropping below normal cost  Savings offset when investment return is good
 GFOA Advisory
 Currently very popular due to low borrowing costs, but no guarantees!  Borrow from General Fund similar to State
 One time payments
 Governing body resolution to use a portion of one time money, e.g.  1/3 to one time projects
 1/3 to replenish reserves and
 1/3 to pay down unfunded liability
12 - 36

September 23, 2021 DRAFT 63
HOW DO YOU USE THE MONEY?
 Internal Service Fund
 Typically used for rate stabilization
 Restricted investments:
 Likely low (0.5%-1.0%) investment returns
 Short term/high quality, designed for preservation of principal  Assets can be used by governing body for other purposes  Does not reduce Unfunded Liability

September 23, 2021 DRAFT 64
HOW DO YOU USE THE MONEY?
 Make payments directly to CalPERS:
 Likely best long-term investment return
 Must be considered an irrevocable decision
 Extra payments cannot be used as future “credit”
 PEPRA prevents contributions from dropping below normal cost  Option #1: Request shorter amortization period (Fresh Start):
 Higher short term payments
 Less interest and lower long term payments
 Likely cannot revert to old amortization schedule
 “Soft” fresh start is more popular, but administratively difficult

12 - 37

September 23, 2021 DRAFT 65
HOW DO YOU USE THE MONEY?
 Make payments directly to CalPERS (continued):
 Option #2: Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP):
 Extra contribution’s impact muted by reduced future contributions  CalPERS can’t track the “would have been” contribution  No guaranteed savings
 Larger asset pool means larger loss (or gain) opportunity  Paying off shorter amortization bases: larger contribution savings over shorter period:
 e.g. 10 year base reduces contribution 11.9¢ for $1
 Less interest savings vs paying off longer amortization bases  Paying off longer amortization bases: smaller contribution savings over longer period:
 e.g. 25 year base reduces contribution 6.2¢ for $1
 More interest savings vs paying off shorter amortization bases  Maintaining the current payment schedule – not letting payments reduce due to extra payment – gives the greatest long-term savings  Administratively and politically difficult

 Reducing the unfunded liability
 Fund enough to make total CalPERS UAL = 0
 Make PEPRA required payments from Trust when overfunded  Stabilizing contribution rates
 Mitigate expected contribution rates to better manage budget  Combination

ACTUARIAL CERTIFICATION
This report presents analysis of the City of South Pasadena’s CalPERS pension plans. The purpose of this report is to provide the City:
 Historical perspective on the plan investment returns, assets, funded status and contributions.  Projections of likely future contributions and the impact of investment volatility The calculations and projections in this report are based on information contained in the City’s June 30, 2020 and earlier CalPERS actuarial valuation reports. We reviewed this information for reasonableness, but do not make any representation on the accuracy of the CalPERS reports.

Future investment returns and volatility are based on Bartel Associates Capital Market model which results in long term returns summarized on pages 23 and 41.

Future results may differ from our projections due to differences in actual experience as well as changes in plan provisions, CalPERS actuarial assumptions or methodology. Other than variations in investment return, this study does not analyze these.

To the best of our knowledge, this report is complete and accurate and has been conducted using generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. As members of the American Academy of Actuaries meeting the Academy Qualification Standards, we certify the actuarial results and opinions herein.

13 Resolution on Sundown Town
February 2, 2022

Page 2 of 5 ends

274160.1
California and the third in the nation to pass a resolution apologizing for its history as a “sundown town”;
• In January 2022, the United States Senate passed a bill, authored by Sen. Cory Booker, to posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to honor Emmitt Till, a Chicago teenager kidnapped and murdered by white supremacists in Money, Mississippi in 1955 while visiting relatives. The bill is now headed to the House of Representatives and will also honor Emmitt Till’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley;
• In 2021, the House of Representative approved a bill supporting reparations for descendants of slavery after more than three decades of building support. The bill is called H.R. 40, and it will establish a 13-person commission to study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination throughout our county’s history; and • In 2022, the United States Mint began shipping quarters featuring Maya Angelou after it was approved for the author/activist to be the first woman on the Unites States quarter. In addition, the Treasury Department is honoring Rosa Parks on the twenty-dollar bill.

The City of South Pasadena has been active in efforts to further social equity. In recent years, the City has made progress in this significant matter, including:
• January 2021: City Council approved the Black History Month Proclamation • March 2021: Diversity and Equity Training for all City staff • April 2021: Hero Pay for workers during the height of the COVID pandemic • May 2021: Council adopted the City’s first Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Council continued the Sundown Town Resolution during the February 17, 2021 meeting, and requested additional community feedback and collaboration. Local community groups CareFirst, Anti-Racism Committee, and Anti-Bias Club have been instrumental in providing feedback drafting the resolution to ensure it is specific to South Pasadena, and not a merely a general mirror of local resolutions from neighboring cities. The Anti-Racism Committee has compiled extensive research and facts along with the student work of the Anti-Bias Club, and CareFirst provided information on wealth gaps and historical analysis. Additional information was provided by CareFirst on November 17, 2021 regarding a Racial Impact Amendment. (Attachment 3)
Discussion/Analysis
Previously, South Pasadena City Library Historian Olivia Radbill and then-Mayor Robert Joe conducted research into the South Pasadena’s history as a Sundown Town and discovered the following institutionalized forms of systemic racism in South Pasadena:
• On October 23, 1911 City Council members Jacobs, Vatcher, Wilson, and Adams voted to block an orphanage for Black children from being established in the City; • In 1941, a race restriction campaign was established by a non-profit committee, "South Pasadenans Inc.", was aided by the City. The purpose of the committee was to restrict non-white citizens from purchasing homes;

274160.1
• In 1942, in response to Executive Order 9066 requiring the relocation of persons of Japanese ancestry, 165 Japanese-American residents of South Pasadena were forced to evacuate South Pasadena. There is not clarity as to what happened to homes that were evacuated by these residents. In 1942, Mayor A.O. Porter simply commented that the City does not have control of these properties. Many were either sold in duress by the families before leaving or sat vacant until the families returned. • In 1955, Susan McClain, a 9-year-old African-American girl, was denied entry to the Orange Grove Plunge. According to a lawsuit filed against the City, the girl was not permitted entry due to a Recreation Department rule "barring Negroes".

In order to address these past issues, the City of South Pasadena adopted Resolution 7673, dated August 5, 2020. (Att. 2). The attached resolution reaffirms that the City will continue to promote inclusion and equity, and will stand up to bigotry, hatred, intolerance, racism, and violence. It affirms that the City unequivocally rejects racism in all its forms and is committed to working toward building a community where people of all races and cultural backgrounds are welcome to live and prosper.

With all of this considered, it is recommended that the City Council take a step further in setting an example by adopting a resolution entitled “Resolution of the City Council of the City of South Pasadena Condemning the City’s History as a Sundown Town and Past Practices of Institutionalized Racism.”
Restrictive Housing Covenants
Staff recommends the City will review the deeds of properties currently owned by the City or owned in the future, and will remove any existing racially restrictive housing covenants.

Community Development Director has worked with staff in preparing this resolution and confirmed staff has the capacity to request or purchase copies of South Pasadena deeds from the LA County Recorder’s Office and research and remove any existing racially restrictive housing covenants. Individual residents now also have the option remove a such restrictions from their own deeds, per AB 1466 (Att. 5), signed into law September 28, 2021. A Restrictive Covenant Modification form is now required to be provided to every person purchasing a property with a restrictive covenant, and that by July 1, 2022 each county recorder establish an implementation plan to identify unlawful restrictive covenants in the records of their office.

Government Alliance on Race & Equity (GARE)
It is also recommended the City consider joining the Government Alliance on Race & Equity (GARE) after staff has an opportunity to attend one or more information sessions. The next information session is scheduled for February 22, 2022. (Source:
https://garemembers.racialequityalliance.org/events/calendar) South Pasadena membership is a request supported by the local community groups. GARE is a national network of city governments working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. GARE was launched by the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society (HIFIS) at the University of California Berkeley in early 2014. In the Fall of 2015, GARE was established as a 13 - 3

274160.1
joint project of HIFIS and the Center for Social Inclusion (CSI), with GARE formally establishing itself as a program of CSI. In 2017, CSI merged with Race Forward, a national taxexempt non-profit organization that catalyzes community, government, and other institutions to dismantle structural racial inequity and create equitable outcomes for all. Race Forward crafts and applies tools and strategies to transform our nation’s policies and practices, in order to achieve racial equity. GARE is working to advance racial equity and increase opportunities for all communities. GARE is building the field of practice to advance racial equity within and through government.

GARE recognizes that racial inequities currently exist across all indicators for success, including in education, criminal justice, jobs, housing, public infrastructure and health, regardless of intent, region of the country or size of jurisdiction. GARE also recognizes the reality that government played a central role in the creation and maintenance of racial inequity, and did so explicitly for centuries and has done so for 50+ years implicitly via policies and practices that perpetuate inequities, even when they are color-blind or race-neutral. Government will continue to perpetuate racial inequities unless there are intentional and strategic interventions that lead to transformation.

GARE’s Membership Network is composed of over 350 jurisdictions at the forefront of local and regional government’s work to advance racial equity. The Network is a professional peer-to-peer network that enables government racial equity directors/leads and subject area experts to exchange information, collaborate to advance their practice, and develop solutions to racial equity challenges. Local GARE member Cities include:
• Pasadena
• Santa Monica
• Glendale
• Pico Rivera
• Southern California Association of
Governments
• El Segundo
• Culver City
• Long Beach
• San Marino
• South Coast Air Quality Management
District
(Source: www.racialequityalliance.org/where-we-work/jurisdictions/).

Fiscal Impact
GARE membership will be brought to Council at a later date after staff has attended information sessions, and also discussed the program with our local City partners. Annual membership with GARE is $2,500. The funds to cover this expense will covered by Account GL 101-2010-2011- 8060. There is adequate funding in this line item.

The fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the included resolution and associated actions is include in already budgeted activities of City personnel, or will be addressed in future City action with negligible effect.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SOUTH PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, CONDEMNING THE
CITY’S HISTORY AS A SUNDOWN TOWN AND PAST

PRACTICES OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM
WHEREAS, in the 20th century, many towns throughout the state of California, along with towns and cities in many other states became known as “Sundown Towns” because of their practice of excluding members of non-white racial and ethnic groups, from living in said jurisdictions or even being inside the city limits after sundown, often by social and cultural means, and through government action, including police profiling and enhanced enforcement;
WHEREAS, various practices and events in the history of the City of South Pasadena have been identified as creating such a circumstance to identify the City of South Pasadena as having been a Sundown Town;
WHEREAS, such circumstances and events include the following:
o On October 23, 1911, City Council members Jacobs, Vatcher, Wilson, and Adams voted to block an orphanage for Black children being established in the City;
o In 1941, a race restriction campaign was established by a nonprofit committee, "South Pasadenans Inc.", was aided by the City. The purpose of the committee was to restrict non-white citizens from purchasing homes;
o In 1942, in response to Executive Order 9066 requiring the relocation of persons of Japanese ancestry, 165 Japanese-American residents of South Pasadena were forced to evacuate South Pasadena. There is not clarity as to what happened to homes that were evacuated by these residents. In 1942, Mayor A.O. Porter simply commented that the City does not have control of these properties. Many were either sold in duress by the families before leaving or sat vacant until the families returned;
o In 1955, Susan McClain, a 9-year-old African-American girl, was denied entry to the Orange Grove Plunge. According to a lawsuit filed against the City, the girl was not permitted entry due to a Recreation Department rule "barring Negroes".

Assembly Bill No. 1466
CHAPTER 359
An act to amend Sections 12956.1, 12956.2, 27282, and 27388.1 of, and to add Sections 12956.3 and 27388.2 to, the Government Code, relating to real property.
[Approved by Governor September 28, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 28, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1466, McCarty. Real property: discriminatory restrictions.

Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability, veteran or military status, or genetic information, and provides that discrimination in housing through a restrictive covenant includes the existence of a restrictive covenant, regardless of whether accompanied by a statement that the covenant is repealed or void. Existing law also provides that a provision in any deed of real property in California that purports to restrict the right of any person to sell, lease, rent, use, or occupy the property to persons having the characteristics specified above by providing for payment of a penalty, forfeiture, reverter, or otherwise, is void, except as specified. Additionally, existing law provides that any deed or other written instrument that relates to title to real property, or any written covenant, condition, or restriction annexed or made a part of, by reference or otherwise, any deed or instrument, that contains any provision that purports to forbid, restrict, or condition the right of any person or persons to sell, buy, lease, rent, use, or occupy the property on account of any of characteristics specified above, is deemed to be revised to omit that provision.

Existing law requires a county recorder, title insurance company, escrow company, real estate broker, real estate agent, or association that delivers a copy of a declaration, governing document, or deed, to place a cover page or stamp on the first page of the previously recorded document stating that if the document contains any restriction that unlawfully discriminates based on any of the characteristics specified above, that document is void.

This bill would require a title company, escrow company, real estate broker, real estate agent, or association that delivers a copy of a declaration, governing document, or deed to a person who holds an ownership interest of record in property to also provide a Restrictive Covenant Modification form with specified procedural information.

Existing law authorizes a person who holds an ownership interest of record in property that they believe is the subject of an unlawfully restrictive 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

AUTHENTICATED

ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL

covenant, as specified, to record a Restrictive Covenant Modification, which is required to include a copy of the original document with the illegal language stricken. Existing law requires the county recorder, before recording the modification document, to submit the modification document and the original document to the county counsel who is required to determine whether the original document contains an unlawful restriction based on any of the characteristics specified above. Existing law requires the county counsel to return these documents and inform the county recorder of their determination, and requires the county recorder to refuse to record the modification document if the county counsel finds that the original document does not contain an unlawful restriction. Existing law requires the county recorder to make Restrictive Covenant Modification forms available to the public.

This bill would additionally authorize a title company, escrow company, county recorder, real estate broker, real estate agent, or other person to record a Restrictive Covenant Modification. The bill, beginning July 1, 2022, would require a title company, escrow company, real estate broker, or real estate agent that has actual knowledge of a declaration, governing document, or deed that is being directly delivered to a person who holds or is acquiring an ownership interest in property and includes a possible unlawfully restrictive covenant to notify the person of the existence of that covenant and their ability to have it removed through the restrictive covenant modification process. The bill would, beginning July 1, 2022, and upon request before the close of escrow, require the title company or escrow company that is directly involved in the pending transaction to assist in the preparation of a Restrictive Covenant Modification, as specified.

This bill would require the county counsel, after their review, to return the documents to the county recorder and inform the county recorder of their determination within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 3 months, as provided. The bill would require a person who requests to record a modification document to provide a return address in order for the county recorder to notify this person of the action taken by the county counsel. The bill would require the county recorder to make Restrictive Covenant Modification forms available to the public onsite or online, as provided, and require the forms to permit the submission of a form that will correct unlawfully restrictive covenants for multiple dwellings within a subdivision, as specified.

This bill would require the county recorder of each county to establish a restrictive covenant program to assist in the redaction of unlawfully restrictive covenants. In this regard, the bill would require each county recorder to prepare an implementation plan by July 1, 2022, as specified, identify unlawfully restrictive covenants in the records of their office, and to redact unlawfully restrictive covenants, as specified. The bill would require the County Recorders Association of California to submit reports to the Legislature by January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2025, of the progress of each county’s restrictive covenant program and to annually convene a 92 Ch. 359 — 2 —
13 - 19
best practices meeting to share concepts on the implementation of restrictive covenant programs, as specified.

Existing law imposes a fee, except as provided, of $75 to be paid at the time of the recording of every real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded, per each single transaction per single parcel of real property, not to exceed $225. Existing law exempts from this fee any real estate instrument, paper, or notice recorded in connection with a transfer subject to the imposition of a documentary transfer tax, as provided, or with a transfer of real property that is a residential dwelling to an owner-occupier.

This bill would additionally exempt from this fee any real estate instrument, paper, or notice executed or recorded to remove a restrictive covenant that is in violation of specified provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

This bill, subject to authorization from the county’s board of supervisors and in accordance with applicable constitutional requirements, would authorize a county recorder to impose a fee of $2 to be paid at the time of the recording of every real estate instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law to be recorded for the purpose of funding the restrictive covenant programs established under these provisions. The bill would exempt certain documents from a fee established pursuant to these provisions. The bill would prohibit a county recorder to charge the $2 fee after December 31, 2027, unless the fee is reauthorized, as specified.

Existing law authorizes recordation of certain documents, including a release, discharge, or subordination of a lien for postponed property taxes, without acknowledgment, certificate of acknowledgment, or further proof.

This bill would authorize the recordation of any modification document, instrument, paper, or notice to remove a restrictive covenant that is in violation of specified provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act without acknowledgment, certificate of acknowledgment, or further proof.

By imposing new duties upon counties with respect to the imposition of the recording fee and new duties upon local county officials with respect to the redaction of unlawfully restrictive covenants, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 12956.1 of the Government Code is amended to read:
12956.1. (a) As used in this section.
(1) “Association,” “governing documents,” and “declaration” have the same meanings as set forth in Sections 4080, 4135, and 4150 or Sections 6528, 6546, and 6552 of the Civil Code.
(2) “Redaction” means the process of rerecording of a document that originally contained unlawful restrictive language, and when presented to the county recorder for rerecording, no longer contains the unlawful language or the unlawful language is masked so that it is not readable or visible. (3) “Redacted” means the result of the rerecording of a document that originally contained unlawful restrictive language, and when presented to the county recorder for rerecording, no longer contains the unlawful language or the unlawful language is masked so that it is not readable or visible.

“If this document contains any restriction based on age, race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, familial status, marital status, disability, veteran or military status, genetic information, national origin, source of income as defined in subdivision (p) of Section 12955, or ancestry, that restriction violates state and federal fair housing laws and is void, and may be removed pursuant to Section 12956.2 of the Government Code by submitting a “Restrictive Covenant Modification” form, together with a copy of the attached document with the unlawful provision redacted to the county recorder’s office. The “Restrictive Covenant Modification” form can be obtained from the county recorder’s office and may be available on its internet website. The form may also be available from the party that provided you with this document.

Lawful restrictions under state and federal law on the age of occupants in senior housing or housing for older persons shall not be construed as restrictions based on familial status.”
(2) The requirements of paragraph (1) shall not apply to documents being submitted for recordation to a county recorder.
(3) A title company, escrow company, or association that delivers a copy of a declaration, governing document, or deed directly to a person who holds an ownership interest of record in property shall also provide a Restrictive Covenant Modification form with procedural information for appropriate processing along with the document.
(c) Any person who records a document for the express purpose of adding a racially restrictive covenant is guilty of a misdemeanor. The county 92 Ch. 359 — 4 —
13 - 21

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a prosecution for a violation of this subdivision shall commence within three years after the discovery of the recording of the document.

SEC. 2. Section 12956.2 of the Government Code is amended to read:
12956.2. (a) (1) A person who holds or is acquiring an ownership interest of record in property that the person believes is the subject of an unlawfully restrictive covenant in violation of subdivision (l) of Section 12955 may record a document titled Restrictive Covenant Modification. A title company, escrow company, county recorder, real estate broker, real estate agent, or other person also may record the modification document provided for in this section. The county recorder may waive the fee prescribed for recording and indexing instruments pursuant to Section 27361 in the case of a restrictive covenant modification document. The modification document shall include a complete copy of the original document containing the unlawfully restrictive language with the unlawfully restrictive covenant language redacted.
(2) Beginning July 1, 2022, if a title company, escrow company, real estate broker, or real estate agent has actual knowledge that a declaration, governing document, or deed that is being directly delivered to a person who holds or is acquiring an ownership interest in property includes a possible unlawfully restrictive covenant, they shall notify the person who holds or is acquiring the ownership interest in the property of the existence of that covenant and their ability to have it removed through the restrictive covenant modification process. There shall be no presumption that a party providing a document has read the document or has actual knowledge of its content.
(3) Beginning July 1, 2022, if requested before the close of escrow, the title company or escrow company directly involved in the pending transaction shall assist in the preparation of a Restrictive Covenant Modification pursuant to this section, but the title company or escrow company shall have no liability associated with the recordation of a Restrictive Covenant Modification that contains modifications not authorized by this section on behalf of the requester.
(b) (1) Before recording the Restrictive Covenant Modification document, the county recorder shall submit the modification document and the original document to the county counsel who shall determine whether the language in the original document contains an unlawful restriction based on age, race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, familial status, marital status, disability, veteran or military status, national origin, source of income as defined in subdivision (p) of Section 12955, or ancestry. The county counsel shall return the documents and inform the county recorder of its determination within a period of time specified in paragraph (2). The county recorder shall refuse to record the modification document if the county counsel or their designee finds that the original document does not contain an unlawful restriction as specified in 92 — 5 — Ch. 359
13 - 22
this subdivision or the modification document contains modifications not authorized by this section.
(2) For documents recorded pursuant to subdivision (a), the period of time shall be a reasonable period of time, not to exceed three months, from the date the request for recordation is made, unless extraordinary circumstances apply.

(e) Subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that were recorded after the recording of the original document that contains the unlawfully restrictive language and subject to covenants, conditions, and restrictions that will be recorded after the Restrictive Covenant Modification, the restrictions in the Restrictive Covenant Modification, once recorded, are the only restrictions having effect on the property. The effective date of the terms and conditions of the modification document shall be the same as the effective date of the original document.
(f) A Restrictive Covenant Modification form shall be prepared and accepted for submission and recordation in all counties in substantially the following form:

(2) The County Recorders Association of California shall convene a best practices meeting to share concepts on implementation of this section no later than December 31, 2022, with all California county recorder offices and meet annually thereafter until December 31, 2027.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to restrict, delay, or modify access to any official record, or modify any existing agreements regarding access to any official record.
(f) For purposes of this section “redaction” and “redacted” mean the same as defined in Section 12956.1.
(g) The failure of a county recorder to identify or redact illegal restrictive covenants, as required by this section, or the county recorder’s identification or redaction of any restrictive covenants that are later determined not to be illegal, shall not result in any liability against the county recorder or the county.
