If a local agency has an existing accessory dwelling unit <br /> ordinance that fails to meet the requirements of this subdivision, that ordinance shall be null and <br /> void and that agency shall thereafter apply the standards established in this subdivision for the <br /> approval of accessory dwelling units, unless and until the agency adopts an ordinance that <br /> complies with this section. <br /> (5)No other local ordinance, policy, or regulation shall be the basis for the delay or denial of a <br /> building permit or a use permit under this subdivision. <br /> (6) This subdivision establishes the maximum standards that local agencies shall use to evaluate <br /> a proposed accessory dwelling unit on a lot that includes a proposed or existing single-family <br /> dwelling.No additional standards, other than those provided in this subdivision, shall be used or <br /> imposed, including any owner-occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that <br /> the property be used for rentals of terms longer than 30 days. <br /> (7)A local agency may amend its zoning ordinance or general plan to incorporate the policies, <br /> procedures, or other provisions applicable to the creation of an accessory dwelling unit if these <br /> provisions are consistent with the limitations of this subdivision. <br /> (8)An accessory dwelling unit that conforms to this subdivision shall be deemed to be an <br /> accessory use or an accessory building and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable <br /> density for the lot upon which it is located, and shall be deemed to be a residential use that is <br /> consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designations for the lot. The accessory <br /> dwelling unit shall not be considered in the application of any local ordinance, policy,or <br /> program to limit residential growth. <br /> (b) When a local agency that has not adopted an ordinance governing accessory dwelling units in <br /> accordance with subdivision(a) receives an application for a permit to create an accessory <br /> dwelling unit pursuant to this subdivision,the local agency shall approve or disapprove the <br /> application ministerially without discretionary review pursuant to subdivision(a). The permitting <br /> agency shall act on the application to create an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory <br /> dwelling unit within 60 days from the date the local agency receives a completed application if <br /> there is an existing single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot. If the permit application to <br /> create an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit is submitted with a permit <br /> application to create a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay <br /> acting on the permit application for the accessory dwelling unit or the junior accessory dwelling <br /> unit until the permitting agency acts on the permit application to create the new single-family <br /> dwelling, but the application to create the accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling <br /> unit shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. If the <br /> applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. If <br /> the local agency has not acted upon the completed application within 60 days,the application <br /> shall be deemed approved. <br /> P20-0412,Accessory Dwelling Units Planning Commission,July 8, 2020 <br /> Exhibit B, State Law Page 3 <br /> Exhibit B, State Law, Page 2 <br /> other special characteristics of the project. <br /> P20-0412,Accessory Dwelling Units Planning Commission, July 8, 2020 <br /> Exhibit A, PMC Amendments, Page 5 <br />2020. <br /> P20-0412, Accessory Dwelling Units Planning Commission <br /> 6 of 9 <br />ing windows to allow for those windows to be the same size, shape, and height. <br /> Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 9 June 24, 2020 <br />
