● The amendments recommended by the Planning
Commission are:
– Reduce building separation from 15 to 10
feet
– Eliminate requirement that the entry to the
ADU be more than 10 feet from property line
– Remove driveway requirement to the ADU
– Provide one parking space for the ADU in
addition to what is required by the main
house
– Grandfather from parking any lot that
currently does not include on site parking
● Council Member KathyTovo has suggested some
additional changes to help prevent ADUs being
used as short term rentals (STRs):
– Any ADU built after October 1, 2015 may not
be used as a short term rental
– Any ADU built before October 1, 2015 will be
classified as a Type 1B and would count in
the 3% cap
Auxiliary Dwelling Units (AUDs)
● The Planning and Neighborhoods Committee of
the City Council recommended some additional
changes without public involvement:
– Allowing ADU's on lots as small as 5,750
square feet instead of 7,000 square feet
– Allowing ADU's on all SF-2 lots instead of
SF-3
– Allowing ADU's even in neighborhood plans
that opted out of having ADU's
– Allowing ADU's to be even bigger than 850
square feet up to 0.15 FAR1 based on the lot
size
– This version has passed through two
readings at City Council and will get its third
and final reading on November 19th with no
public discussion. If approved, it will be
come law.
