The purpose of this chapter is to provide specific supplemental provisions for certain uses whose nature and potential impacts require additional and more specialized criteria. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, these use-specific provisions apply to the specified use in all zones where the use is allowed. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004.)

   .010   Intent. The City recognizes the importance of livable housing and an attractive, suitable living environment for all residents. The State Legislature has declared that Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units are a valuable form of housing in California. It is the intent of the City to permit Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in all areas zoned to allow single-family or multiple family residential use, in conformance with the provisions of Government Code Section 66310-66342, as the same may be amended from time to time, in all those areas and subject to standards that will ensure the units contribute to a suitable living environment for people of all ages and economic levels, while preserving the integrity and character of residential neighborhoods. It is not the intent of this section to override lawful use restrictions as may be set forth in conditions, covenants and restrictions or similar instruments.

      .0151   "Efficiency Kitchen" A room used, or intended or designed to be used, for cooking or the preparation of food that includes at minimum a cooking facility with appliances, food preparation counter, and storage cabinets.

      .0303   One (1) Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit either located within the walls of the existing or proposed single-family dwelling or attached to a newly constructed detached Accessory Dwelling Unit. A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit is subject to subsection 18.38.015.110 below.

      .0304   The total number of dwelling units on a single-family zoned lot and use, including the primary dwelling, any Accessory Dwelling Unit(s), and one Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit, shall not exceed four (4) units.

   .040   Density Provisions. An Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit that conforms to the requirements of this section shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which such unit is proposed to be established, and shall be deemed to be an accessory residential use which is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designations for the lot.

   .050   Prohibited Locations. Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units are not permitted in the following locations:

      .0501   In any area of the City identified, by resolution of the City Council, to be areas with insufficient sewer infrastructure where accessory dwelling units result in impacts to the public health and safety.

   .060   Development Standards. The following development standards contained in Table 38-A (Accessory Dwelling Unit Development Standards) apply based on the type of unit and the applicable development standards. These standards shall apply to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units:

 

      .0602   Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence, nor shall the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit require fire sprinklers be installed in the primary residence, unless as required as an alternative means and methods for meeting fire department access and/or water supply requirements;

   .070   Design. An Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit shall conform to the following design standards:

   .110   Ownership and Occupancy for Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.

      .1101   Owner Occupancy Required. If the property contains a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit that shares sanitation facilities with the primary residence, the legal owner of such property must occupy one of the residential dwellings on the property as that person's legal domicile and permanent residence as long as the Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit exists on the property. Owner occupancy shall not be required if the owner is another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization;

   .125   Repealed by Ord. 6620 § 38, January 13, 2026.

   .130   Existing Nonconforming Units. Accessory Dwelling Units that exist as of the effective date of this section that have previously been legally established may continue to operate as legal nonconforming Accessory Dwelling Units. Any Accessory Dwelling Unit that exists as of the effective date of this section, and has not previously been legally established, is considered an unlawful use, unless the Planning and Building Director determines that the unit meets the provisions of this section.

      .1301   Exception. City shall not deny a permit for an unpermitted Accessory Dwelling Unit that was constructed before January 1, 2020, due to either of the following: (1) The accessory dwelling unit is in violation of building standards pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 17960) of Chapter 5 of Part 1.5 of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code; or (2) The accessory dwelling unit does not comply with this article or any local ordinance regulating Accessory Dwelling Units.

      .1302   City may deny a permit for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit subject to subsection .1301 if the City makes a finding that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code.

   .140   Conversion of Existing Structures. Conversion of legally established structures or conversions of space not previously legally established for habitable space, such as attics, basements, garages or any other part of a residential property, into an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit shall be permitted. Conversions of legally permitted structures are exempt from lot coverage, structural setbacks, structural height, and building separation requirements. A legally established accessory structure may be demolished and rebuilt as an Accessory Dwelling Unit without additional structural setbacks when located in the same location and to the same dimension as the existing structure.

      .1401   Legal nonconformities of the existing main dwelling unit shall be allowed to remain with the creation of an Accessory Dwelling Unit and/or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit, as long as modifications to the primary residence unrelated to the development of an Accessory Dwelling Unit and/or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit do not trigger the provisions of Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 18.56 (Nonconformities).

      .1402   When a garage, carport, covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is demolished directly in conjunction with the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit or converted to an Accessory Dwelling Unit only, no replacement of the off-street parking is required.

      .1503   All resubmittals are subject to the same 15 business day review period.

      .1504   Once the application and evidence submitted has been deemed complete, a permit shall be approved or denied within 60 days. If the permit application to create or serve an Accessory Dwelling Unit or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling unit(s) on the lot, the permitting agency may delay approving or denying the permit application for the Accessory Dwelling Unit or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit until the permitting agency approves or denies the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling unit(s), but the application to create or serve the Accessory Dwelling Unit or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit shall be considered without discretionary review or hearing.

      .1505   Appeal. If an appeal on staff determination on an Accessory Dwelling Unit and/or a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit is submitted, a determination on the appeal shall be completed within 60 days.

      .1506   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the contrary, no waiver of administrative adjustments, or variance from any requirement of this Section 18.38.015 shall be approved, nor shall any application for such a waiver, administrative adjustments, or variance be accepted for processing.
