PUBLIC HEARINGS

1.

ADU Ordinance Update

Fiscal Impact: Consistency with State law requires that the City allow ADUs on multi-family zoned properties prior to buildout. ADUs, per State law, pay no or reduced development impact fees. Allowing ADUs prior to, and in many cases instead of, the construction of primary units will result in less funds paid toward the City’s Development Impact Fees which may impact our ability to provide services and infrastructure. Under existing State law, the City does not have any alternatives to this requirement
Recommendation: Planning Commission recommends Council: Introduce an ordinance for first reading, by title only, to amend Title 9, Planning & Zoning revising Chapter 5, Accessory Dwelling Units (ZCH25-0064), for consistency with State law and clarity related to development standards, and determining this ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act. [Community Development]

2.

4543 Yerba Avenue Nuisance Abatement Cost Recovery Hearing

Fiscal Impact: City incurred expenses in the amount of $7,269.60 plus County recording costs will be collected through the property tax  rolls
Recommendation: Council adopt Draft Resolution confirming abatement costs and authorizing the placement of a lien and levy of a special assessment to recover costs [City Attorney]
