No more than two dwelling units of any kind may be built on a lot that results from an urban lot split. For purposes of this paragraph, "unit" means any dwelling unit, including, but not limited to, a primary dwelling unit, an additional primary unit created under this section of this Code, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), or a junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU).
2.
A lot that is not created by an urban lot split may have a two-unit project under this section, plus any ADU or JADU that must be allowed under State law and the City's ADU ordinance.
b.
Demo Cap. The two-unit project may not involve the demolition of more than 25 percent of the existing exterior walls of an existing dwelling unless the site has not been occupied by a tenant in the last three years.
c.
Floor Area Ratio. The City's existing Floor Area Ratio standards for its R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone shall apply to projects within the R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone and subject to this chapter.

This outdoor living space standard shall apply to the maximum extent feasible so long as two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each are permitted.
e.
Tree Provisions. Environmental benefits derived by trees include the filtering of air pollutants, increasing atmospheric oxygen levels, stabilizing soils, reducing heat convection, decreasing wind speed, and reducing the negative effects of solar glare. In order to address the increased density and heat island effects of these developments, each two-unit project must provide one 24-inch box tree for every dwelling unit on site. Planting species and maintenance shall comply with the City's Landscaping Regulations (Section 10-2.1900) and the City's Objective Residential Standards adopted August 15, 2023. This tree provision standard shall apply to the maximum extent feasible so long as two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each are permitted. If the standard must be reduced, a fee in lieu must be provided for any required tree that cannot be met in order for a tree to be planted elsewhere in the municipality.
f.
Tree Replacements. Each existing mature tree with a trunk diameter of six inches or greater on the site that cannot feasibly be saved for a two-unit project must be replaced by one 36-inch or larger box tree on site.

This tree replacement standard shall apply to the maximum extent feasible so long as two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each are permitted. If the standard must be reduced, a fee in lieu must be provided for any required replacement tree that cannot be met in order for a tree to be planted elsewhere in the municipality.
g.
Unit Size Second Unit. The total floor area of any second primary dwelling unit built that is developed under this section cannot exceed 800 square feet.
h.
Height and Story Second Unit. For second units proposed to be attached to an existing residence, the height and story requirements of the underlying zone apply. For second units proposed to be detached the second unit shall be no greater than 16 feet in height with an allowance of two additional feet in height in order to match the roof pitch of the existing residence, as measured from the lowest portion of the building that is above ground to the top most portion of the roof, exclusive of chimneys or vents. The detached second unit shall not exceed one story in height. This height and story standard shall apply to the maximum extent feasible so that two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each are permitted.
i.
Setbacks.
1.
Generally. The City's existing setback standards for its R-1 and R-1A Single-Family Residential Zones shall apply to projects subject to this chapter. This setback standard shall apply to the maximum extent feasible so long as two primary dwelling units on the lot at 800 square feet each are permitted. The setback must be at least four feet from the side and rear lot lines.
2.
Prioritization of Setbacks. A two-unit project is not to encroach into a required front yard setback before exhausting options to build to the rear and side yard setbacks in order to provide two units of 800 square feet each.
3.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding Subsection (e)(6)i.1. and 2. above, no setback is required for an existing legally established structure or for a new structure that is constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing legally established structure.
j.
k.
Utilities. Each primary dwelling unit on the lot must have its own direct utility connection to the utility service provider.
l.
Building and Safety. All structures built on the lot must comply with all current local building standards. A project under this section is a change of use and subjects the whole of the lot, and all structures, to the city's current building code.

Impact Fees. Impact fees for net additional dwelling units shall be charged for a second primary unit. Impact fees for ADUs or JADUs shall comply with the regulations related specifically to those unit types.
n.
Other Standards. All other applicable standards of this Code shall apply to the extent these standards do not conflict with State law.
o.
Affordability. All applicable affordable housing standards shall apply to the extent these standards do not conflict with State law.
p.
Architecture. All units created pursuant to this section shall use the same materials and colors as the existing primary residence (if remaining) or shall use the same materials and colors as the other proposed units.

a.
Primary dwelling units on the lot may not be owned or conveyed separately from each other.
b.
Condominium airspace divisions and common interest developments are not permitted within the lot.
c.
All fee interest in the lot and all the dwellings must be held equally and undivided by all individual property owners.

(9)
Notice of Construction.
a.
At least 30 business days before starting any construction of a two-unit project, the property owner must give written notice to all the owners of record of each of the adjacent residential parcels, which notice must include the following information:
b.
This notice requirement does not confer a right on the noticed persons or on anyone else to comment on the project before permits are issued. Approval is ministerial. Under State law, the City has no discretion in approving or denying a particular project under this section. This notice requirement is purely to promote neighborhood awareness and expectation.
(10)
Deed Restriction. The owner must record a deed restriction, acceptable to the city, that does each of the following:
a.
Expressly prohibits any rental of any dwelling on the property for a period of less than 30 days.

(f)
Specific Adverse Impacts.
(1)
Notwithstanding anything else in this section, the City may deny an application for a two-unit project if the building official makes a written finding, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the project would have a "specific, adverse impact" on either public health and safety or on the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact.
(2)
Specific adverse impact" has the same meaning as in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2): "a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete" and does not include: (1) inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation; or (2) the eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under Revenue and Taxation Code Section 214(g).
(3)
The building official may consult with and be assisted by planning staff and others as necessary in making a finding of specific, adverse impact.
(g)
Remedies. If a two-unit project violates any part of this Code or any other legal requirement:

§ 10-2.1450 Specific purposes, (IF) industrial flex overlay zone.
The specific purpose of the IF Industrial flex overlay zone is to implement the city's General Plan by allowing development that provides for an integrated mix of light industrial and commercial and/or office uses such as: commercial, research and development, incubator space, creative or technology-based businesses, offices, hotel, and supporting commercial uses. The overall character in this designation is intended to be a creative/tech incubator district with supporting uses. For the purpose of this section, an incubator space is defined as a facility with shared space intended to nurture and accelerate the growth of new businesses. It typically provides resources such as office space, access to shared services and other resources to help entrepreneurs launch their business.
In addition to the general purposes listed above and in Section 10-2.102, the specific purpose of the (IF) Industrial flex overlay zone is to:
(a)
Provide opportunities to integrate new creative or technology-based uses in horizontal or vertical mixed-use developments with commercial, office and hospitality uses;
(1)
Encourage residential uses in conjunction with other nonresidential activities in the IF overlay zone on properties that are also designated with an AHO overlay zone to create a mix of uses that allows for the integration of new residential housing opportunities in close proximity to transit, job centers, and commercial service centers.
(b)
Encourage compatibility between residential and commercial and industrial uses in areas where the AHO overlay zones directly abut commercial and industrial zones, by permitting greater design flexibility across the existing boundaries of the zones;
