SB 1211 (Skinner) <br /> <br />Land use: accessory <br />dwelling units: <br />Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, authorizes a local <br />agency, by ordinance, to provide for the creation of accessory <br />dwelling units (ADUs) in areas zoned for residential use, as <br />specified. Existing law requires ministerial approval of accessory <br />dwelling units, as specified, if the local agency does not adopt an <br />ordinance governing accessory dwelling units, as described. Under <br />existing law, a local agency is also required to ministerially approve <br />an application for a building permit within a residential or mixed-use <br />zone to create any of specified variations of accessory dwelling <br />units. Under existing law, one of those variations requires a local <br />agency to ministerially approve multiple accessory dwelling units <br />within the portion of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are <br />not used as livable space, as described, if each unit complies with <br />state building standards for dwellings. Existing law requires a local <br />agency to allow at least one of those accessory dwelling units <br />within an existing multifamily dwelling and allow up to 25% of the <br />existing multifamily dwelling units (inside dwelling ADU <br />requirements).Under existing law, another variation requires a local <br />agency to ministerially approve not more than 2 accessory dwelling <br />units that are located on a lot that has an existing or proposed <br />multifamily dwelling, but are detached from that dwelling, and are <br />subject to a height limitation and rear yard and side setbacks, as <br />specified (detached ADU requirements).For purposes of the <br />detached ADU requirements, this bill would prohibit a local agency <br />from requiring the replacement of parking spaces when a carport, <br />covered parking structure, or uncovered parking space is <br />demolished in conjunction with the construction of or conversion to <br />an accessory dwelling unit. The bill would also, for purposes of <br />those detached ADU requirements, require a local agency to <br />instead allow 2 detached, new construction accessory dwelling <br />units and allow up to 25% of the existing multifamily dwelling units. <br />Oppose unless <br />amended <br /> <br />(Amends <br />requirements for <br />ADUs on multi- <br />family projects to not <br />replace parking lost <br />from conversion of <br />garages or carports, <br />and increase total <br />number of detached <br />ADUs on Multi- <br />family sites) <br />None/Pending <br />Page 75 of 448
