NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: RECITALS
The foregoing recitations are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Ordinance.

SECTION 2: ENACTMENT

1. The City Council adopts an ordinance amending Chapters 14-16 (District Regulations), Chapter 14-18 (Definitions), Chapter 14-54 (Two (2) Unit Developments), Chapter 13-13 (Urban Lot Splits), and Chapter 14-12 (Zoning Permits), and creating a new Chapter 14-55 (Low Barrier Navigation Centers) of Title 14 (Zoning) of the Watsonville Municipal Code, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to implement the following Housing Element programs and bring the additional chapters listed below into compliance with state law:
 Program C.9 - Low Barrier Navigation Centers (WMC Chapter 14-55)

13-13.03 Objective standards.

All urban lot splits under this chapter shall also comply with the standards in this section, unless the applicant can demonstrate that this would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of two (2) units on either of the resulting parcels, or would necessarily result in a unit size of less than eight hundred (800) square feet for any unit on the resulting parcels:
(a) New parcel lines that abut a street shall maintain right angles to streets or radial to the centerline of curved streets, or be parallel to existing parcel lines. (b) Minimum lot frontage required shall be thirty (30') feet wide for an urban lot split.

(e) The parcel map satisfies the objective requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter regarding parcel maps.
(f) All proposed urban lot splits shall require each parcel to have separate utilities for water, sewer, and electrical. If a parcel has a primary residence and a detached accessory dwelling unit, the urban lot split shall require separation of utilities for the ADU and primary residence. (g) On-Site Public Improvements. All parcels of an urban lot split shall repair, replace, and/or construct a sidewalk curb and gutter meeting accessibility requirements and the City of Watsonville public improvement standards.

EXHIBIT A

(h) An urban lot split is limited to two residential units on each newly created parcel. The minimum size for each unit shall be eight hundred (800) square feet. (§ 1, Ord. 1439-22 (CM), eff. November 24, 2022)
13-13.04 Filing, processing, and action.
(a) An application for an urban lot split must be made through submittal of a City application and requisite fees. At a minimum, an application package shall include:
(1) Copies of deeds for all properties included in the request. (2) A plat map drawn to scale by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer depicting all of the following:
(i) Existing and proposed lot lines.

(iii) Location of any easements necessary for each parcel to have access to the public right-of-way. (b) The City shall act on an application for an urban lot split within fifty (50) days from the date the City receives a completed application. If the applicant requests a delay in writing, the fifty (50) day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. The City has acted on the application if it:
(1) Approves or denies the application for the urban lot split; or (2) Informs the applicant in writing that changes to the proposed project are necessary to comply with this chapter.
(c) The Community Development Director shall deny the urban lot split if either of the following is found:
(1) The urban lot split fails to meet or perform one or more objective requirements imposed by the Subdivision Map Act or by this chapter. Any such requirement or condition shall be specified; (2) The building official makes a written finding, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed subdivision would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined and determined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, upon public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.
(d) The Community Development Director shall not reject an application solely because it proposes adjacent or connected structures; provided, that the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.
(e) The Community Development Director shall condition approval on the dedication of any easements deemed necessary for the provision of public services to the proposed parcels and any easements deemed necessary for access to the public right-of-way.

EXHIBIT A

(f) The Community Development Director shall not require the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions.
(g) The Community Development Director shall not require dedications of rights-of-way or the construction of off-site improvements for the parcels being created as a condition of approval of a parcel map for an urban lot split. Off-site improvements include traffic controls, streets, roads, highways, freeways, bridges, overcrossings, street interchanges, flood control or storm drain facilities, sewer facilities, water facilities, and lighting facilities. The Community Development Director can request for on-site improvements such as sidewalks with curb and gutters. (§ 1, Ord. 1439-22 (CM), eff. November 24, 2022)
13-13.05 Use and development requirements.

14-12.402 Review and Decision by the Zoning Administrator. (a) The Zoning Administrator shall be the final decision-maker for Design Review. The Zoning Administrator shall render a decision on the Design Review application by issuing a Notice of Decision, without a public hearing, based on findings in Section 14-12.403 and subject to conditions necessary to make the use compatible with surrounding uses. The Zoning Administrator shall approve, deny or conditionally approve the Design Review within the time frame established by State law. If the design is not consistent with the findings, the application for Design Review shall be denied. Appeals shall be to the Planning Commission in accordance with Part 11 of Chapter 14-10.

The DWSP establishes new zones and overlays, which are intended to concentrate urban activity and intensity in the center of downtown and allows development to transition to existing lower-intensity neighborhood settings at the periphery of the DWSP plan area and to industrial activity to the south. (§ 3, Ord. 1459-23 (CM), eff. November 23, 2023)
14-16.2603 Permitted and conditional uses.

The land uses in Table 6-3 and as described in Section 6.4 (Land Use Regulations) of the DWSP set forth permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses in the DWSP plan area. Additional uses permitted by right in all districts within the DWSP are as follows:

DLU 724 Child care homes up to fourteen (14) children
09 Low Barrier Navigation Centers
(§ 3, Ord. 1459-23 (CM), eff. November 23, 2023)
14-16.2604 District regulations.

Section 6.5 (Form Regulations) in Chapter 6 of the DWSP sets forth standards and guidelines concerning building placement, building height, building massing, facade design, frontages, and encroaching architectural elements.

Section 6.6 (Site Standards and Guidelines) in Chapter 6 of the DWSP sets forth standards and guidelines that regulate the design and location of elements of a site for the purpose of the health, safety, and general welfare of the immediate occupants of each building, and for the neighborhood. Provisions in Section 6.6 apply to waste and utilities placement, site walls, lighting, and on-site open space. (§ 3, Ord. 1459-23 (CM), eff. November 23, 2023)
