These units meet the city's general plan housing policies relat- ed to: attaining a variety of housing types; providing housing stock to lower income households; including lower income hous- ing units within market rate housing projects; providing alternative, nontradi- tional means suited to the community to fill lower and moderate income housing needs; and meeting the city's shaze of regional housing needs. The further purpose of this chapter is to provide flexibility to meet the above stated objectives, while taking into ac- count the unusual characteristics and special considerations surrounding second units. (Ord. 1812 § 1, 2000) 18.106.020 Conditional Use Permit Requirements: A conditional use permit shall be re- quired for every second unit. All of the requirements of chapter 18.124 of this title shall apply hereto, except that the zoning administrator shall hold the public hearing and make the required findings, as provided in sections 18.124.060 and 18.124.070 of this title, unless the zoning administrator determines in his or her sole discretion to refer the matter to the plan- ning commission. Decisions of the zoning administrator may be appealed to the planning commis- sion, and decisions of the planning com- mission may be appealed to the city coun- cil as provided in section 18.124.090 of this title. All public hearings regarding second units shall be publicly noticed as described in section 18.124.040 of this title. (Ord. 1812 § 1, 2000) 18.106.030 Conflicting Regulations: A. When the site development regula- tions of this chapter conflict with specific regulations for second units (not simply regulations for general class I accessory structures) in a planned unit development or specific plan, the planned unit develop- ment and specific plan shall control. 614-1 (Pleasanton April 2001)
