Section 65852.1 requires a local agency to ministerially approve a housing development of no more than two (2) residential units (either 2 new or 1 new addition to an existing unit) within a single-family residential zone without discretionary review or a hearing when the proposed development meets all oft the listed requirements. Similarly, Section 66411.7 requires a local agency to ministerially approve a parcel map for a lot split int the single-family zone when the map meets all of the listed requirements. The purpose of SB 9 is to allow up to four units on a lot where there once was one unit in single-family Despite these provisions, iti is expected that SB 9 will have little, ifany, impact on the City of Bradbury. Because of how houses are situated on existing lots, it would be difficult to split al lot and have four units on a developed lot without demolition of the existing structure. Most residents would be hesitant to destroy their existing single-family home, and SB 9 prohibits demolition of alteration of a structure if it has been rented out within the last three years, and allows the City to limit demolitions of more than 25% of existing exterior structural walls in other circumstances. SB 9 also prohibits owners from repeatedly subdividing property and prohibits developers or owners from acting in concert with others to successively split and develop Itis recommended that the City Council open the public hearing and receive testimony from the public and adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 380, which immediately amends Tile IX ofthe Bradbury Municipal Code relating to urban lot splits and two-  UNITSPERLOT  Ordinance No 380 before the meeting.
