As part of this policy, require new single-family residential subdivisions of 10 or more units to incorporate ADUs or JADUs in the plans and designs for new residences in at least 50 percent of the proposed lots; however, this would not be required of any new units affordable to households earning 120 to 150 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) based on initial sales or rental cost.

On rezoned lower-income sites, the City will allow 100 percent residential use and shall require residential use to occupy at least 50 percent of the floor area in a mixed-use project.Any necessary specific plan amendments(e.q., Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan)will be adopted concurrently with the rezoning adoption. • Responsible Agency: Planning Division • Time Period: Complete rezoning by January 31, 2026 • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget • Quantified Objective: Provide capacity to accommodate RHNA shortfall (capacity for at least 1,612 lower-income units, 296 moderate-income units, and 1,265 above moderate- income units)
