opposed to specifying that the ADU door be on the "side or rear of the one-family residence." • Consistent with recent guidance from HCD, instead of striking out existing PMC that requires parking for the primary residence to be replaced when a JADU is created in a garage, this language will be retained. Therefore, JADUs resulting from a garage conversion would be required to provide replacement parking. • Clarified language to indicate that, for an ADU resulting from conversion of existing space, any expansion of the building not directly a part of the ADU is subject to the development standards for the main structure. • Deleted proposed text that limited the square footage of ADUs resulting from conversion of existing space in accordance with HCD guidance. • Omitted ADUs from Design Review references in various sections of Title 18. • Clarified the height to indicate, "16 feet or less" to Sections 18.106.060(C)(7), which refers to FAR and 18.106.060(C)(8), which refers to open space. • Modified the definition of JADU to reflect more general requirements for cooking facilities. • Modified text to indicate, "one-family" instead of "single-family" since Chapter 18.106 used both terms interchangeably. • Modified reference to indicate the California Register of Historical Resources (instead of the California Register of Historical Places). • Modified the phrase, "Minimum Accessory Dwelling Unit Standards" to, "Statewide Exemption Accessory Dwelling Unit Standards" to be consistent with recent guidance issued by HCD. PUBLIC NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENTS Notification of this code amendment has been published in The Valley Times as an upcoming agenda item for the October 28. 2020, Planning Commission meeting. Additionally, staff sent a courtesy email notifying those interested in the update to the PMC as it relates to ADUs. As part of the June 24, 2020, meeting, the Planning Commission received an email from a local developer advocating to eliminate enforcement of deed restrictions that require owner- occupancy for ADUs approved prior to 2020. Since the July 8 meeting, staff has received additional feedback supporting removal of the owner-occupancy requirement for all ADUs from another property owner. As mentioned previously in this report, the City received a letter from CFH shortly before the July 8, 2020, meeting. At the time this report was prepared, staff has not received additional comments regarding the proposed code amendments. Staff does, however, continue to receive numerous inquiries from the public, interested in ADUs and standards specific to Pleasanton.

The PMC will continue to include the provision that the owner of a property with a JADU may rent both the primary unit and the JADU to a single party.
