Motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Arkin, Balch, Narum, Testa, Mayor Brown Noes: None Absent: None In response to Mayor Brown, City Attorney Sodergren stated it is up to the Council if they want to take one more agenda item tonight. Mayor Brown and the Councilmembers agreed to proceed with Item 20. 20. Introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. 2228: (1) approving amendments to Chapters 18.32, 18.84, 18.88, and 19.16, and (2) creating chapter 18.101 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code to implement Senate Bill 9 regarding two-unit housing developments and urban lot splits into single-family residential zones; and consider adoption of a Resolution No. 21-1260 modifying the master fee schedule to incorporate new application fees Senior Planner Shweta Bonn stated this item is to review draft amendments to the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) due to Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), receive public comments, introduce an ordinance to amend the PMC, and adopt a resolution to establish application fees for SB 9 projects. Senior Planner Bonn reported SB 9 allows for additional units on a parcel zoned for single-family use and urban lot splits and takes effect on January 1, 2022. To be eligible the parcel must be zoned for single-family use, not be in areas subject to natural hazards or other sensitive areas, be unoccupied for at least three years, not located in a historic district, and does not involve demolition of more than 25% of existing exterior structural walls. She added with no urban lot split, a parcel can have up to two Housing Dwelling Units (HDU), and up to two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU). With an urban lot split, up to two parcels is possible with up to two HDUs each. Senior Planner Bonn reported each HDU must be at least 800 square feet with four-foot side and rear setbacks, meeting objective design standards. The City must approve SB 9 housing units ministerially with an opportunity to deny only if the development would have a "specific adverse effect" on public health or safety or the environment. If there is an urban lot split, one of the two HDUs can have an owner-occupancy requirement and the applicant must sign an affidavit indicating intent to occupy one of the HDUs for at least three years. No short-term rentals are permitted, up to one off-street parking space may be required unless it is near transit, a Homeowners Association can impose restrictions, and there is a prohibition in subdivisions of off-site improvements or requiring the dedication of land for right-of-way. The PMC will be modified to create Chapter 18.101 with definitions and objective standards specific to SB 9 units. She reported each unit must have individual utility connections and meters along with meeting code requirements for separate sales. She listed standards for urban lot splits. There would be a maximum height of 15 feet for buildings outside of the zoned building envelope. She listed proposals for objective design standards. She reported the Planning Commission recommended six changes to the PMC amendments which have all been incorporated except for demolition and building code requirements which do not need to be in the PMC.
