Sec. 27.201. - Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units.

(a)

Purpose. This section provides for the creation of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units as defined in Government Code Section 65852(j)(1). The purpose of the section is to achieve the following objectives:

1.

Contribute to alleviating the housing supply shortage by increasing the housing unit capacity of lots zoned to permit single-family homes and multi-family housing developments.

2.

Facilitate the development of new housing with land and construction costs lower than single family homes built on vacant land because accessory dwelling units will be constructed on already developed land, will have housing unit sizes smaller than single-family homes, and utilize existing infrastructure.

3.

Create the opportunity for new housing units to be built to accommodate the needs of diverse household types including, but not limited to, seniors, disabled persons, caretakers, students, and multi-generational families.

4.

Provide the opportunity to create new housing at costs affordable to lower and moderate income households.

An accessory dwelling unit also includes the following:

1.

An efficiency unit as defined in Section 17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code.

2.

A manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.

(c)

General Plan Consistency. In adopting this section, the city recognizes that the development of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units may result in residential densities exceeding the maximum densities prescribed by the general plan land use element and zoning ordinance. Pursuant to Government Code Section Government Code Section 65852.2(a)(1)(C), the city finds that this occurrence is consistent with the general plan. Government Code Section 65852.2(a)(1)(C) provides that accessory dwelling units do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located, and that accessory dwelling units are a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot.
