29 | City of Pleasanton 2023-2031 Housing Element Program 1.8 Monitor the production of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) to determine if they are being rented and, if so, determine their rent levels. Per the City’s updated ADU ordinance (2021), all ADUs must be registered in the City’s monitoring program to determine rent levels of the ADUs being created. If it is determined that rent levels are exceeding those projected in the inventory or that ADU production is not keeping pace with Housing Element projections, the City will study and implement additional measures to encourage more production of, and affordability among, ADUs, such as fee waivers or reductions in exchange for deed- restricting a unit. • Responsible Agency: Planning Division, Housing Division • Time Period: Monitor annually (by April 1 of each year); if ADU targets are not being met (i.e., 11.5 ADUs permitted on an annual average) by January 2025, review and revise efforts to increase ADU construction (e.g., fee waivers, etc.) by July 2025 pending results of monitoring. The City’s action shall be commensurate with the level of shortfall from construction targets (i.e., if shortfall is significant, less than 80 percent of target, a rezoning action may be required, if shortfall is slight, 80 percent of target or greater, additional incentives may be appropriate). Review will occur every two years thereafter (i.e., January 2027 and January 2029) with action implemented within six months if targets are not being met as described above (July 2027 and July 2029). • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget, Housing Division Budget, Building and Safety Division Budget • Quantified Objective: 93 ADUs • Geographic Targeting: Aim to achieve 50 percent of quantified objective for ADUs (i.e., 47 ADUs) in highest resource areas and/or Racial or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs) and areas of relatively higher income (i.e., see Appendix F, Figure F- 9: Median Household Income) Program 1.9 The following programs will be implemented to facilitate the production of ADUs: 1. Prepare and distribute standardized and/or pre-approved building plans for ADUs that meet the requirements of Chapter 18.106 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units) and the California Building Standards Code. The City will publicize such building plans to interested persons inquiring or applying for an ADU, and incentives provided, such as reduction of permit fees, for applicants wishing to make use of such pre-approved plans. 2. Create and maintain informational materials and an ADU resource webpage on the City’s website to publicize and promote the availability of standard building plans; post
