4. Smaller Units, Multifamily Projects. The Planning Commission may consider
<br /> incorporating a Housing Element policy, with appropriate flexibility, to encourage smaller
<br /> units in multifamily projects. These units would not necessarily be in lieu of larger sized
<br /> units appropriate for families but would be targeted to smaller households or working
<br /> professionals that may not require larger units.
<br /> 5. Municipal Code Amendments for Small-scale Infill. A Housing Element policy could
<br /> indicate to study the municipal code for possible amendments and accompanying ODS
<br /> to facilitate small-scale, infill sites based on prototypes for "missing middle" housing.
<br /> 6. Consider Partnerships with Key Local Employers. The City could foster partnerships
<br /> with local employers, such as PUSD or Valley Care, to better support workforce housing
<br /> for employees of these organizations.
<br /> NEXT STEPS
<br /> The Planning Commission's recommendation, along with that provided by the Housing
<br /> Commission, will be presented to City Council in March (tentatively scheduled for March 15),
<br /> with Council's final direction to be incorporated into the Housing Element.

<br />from other cities that have taken this approach, however, staff
<br /> is considering alternatives to streamline ADU production. An alternative approach would
<br /> be to have companies that specialize in ADUs provide plans for the City to pre-approve,
<br /> as opposed to the City hiring a design team to prepare the plans. In either case, or with
<br /> another option, the objective would be streamline ADU production, and the City could
<br /> pursue a strategy accordingly.
<br /> 3. Complete Objective Design Standards. As mentioned in this report and as the Planning
<br /> Commission is aware, the City is undertaking completion of ODS for residential
<br /> development. In September 2021, the Commission reviewed draft standards for
<br /> larger-scale multifamily development (i.e., the remaining sites designated as part of the
<br /> 2012 Housing Element); these standards would incorporate the additional sites that are
<br /> included as part of the current Housing Element effort. Also, as the Planning
<br /> Commission is aware, objective standards were incorporated into the City's SB 9
<br /> ordinance. As a complement to development that could occur on smaller sites (not the
<br /> larger Housing Element sites), staff will be working with the consultant team to draft
<br /> objective standards for smaller infill projects.
