At the July 13, 2020 study session, the Council continued the study session to August 10, 2020. After the August 10, 2020 study session, the City hired the DUDEK Fire Prevention Planning Team to perform research and prepared a Memorandum on issues relating to ADUS and JADU's. In revising the draft ordinance, staff also considered the Office of Planning and Research's draft Fire Hazard Planning Technical Advisory, ICMA's" 21st Century Fire and Emergency Services" Document, and HCD's Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook.  BACKGROUNDSTUDY SESSIONS HELD ON JUNE 16, JULY13AND AUGUST 10, 2020:  Minutes CC Meeting December 9, 2020 Page 1 of3    ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IN THE VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE:  Based on all of these documents as well as the conditions noted in the draft ordinance, City staff feels that there is sufficient justification to limit the creation of ADUS in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) areas of the City and to prohibit all secondary living quarters on certain streets with very narrow widths. However, in order to still try and meet the intent of State legislation, the draft ordinance proposes that ADU's be ministerially allowed in the VHFHSZ, provided that such units have fire sprinklers and a setback of at least 151 feet, which is the required side and rear yard setback in the R-20,000 zone. The types of ADUS are referred to in the Ordinance as Fire Zone ADUS (FZADU). The size of both ADU and. JADU's are limited to 1,000 square feet. Acting City Attorney Kranitz stated that the revised draft ordinance also creates a second category of ADUS, entitled Enhanced ADUS (EADU). These ADUS will be allowed in the R-7,500 and R-20,000 zones and may go up to 1,200 square City Planner Kasama stated that in order to have this type of ADU, the applicant would have to comply with all development standards of the underlying zone and would be required to comply with the procedures set froth for significant architectural review, which requires Planning Commission approval. These type of ADUS are not allowed in the agricultural zones as these zones already have the ability to have a guest house, bunk house, or SRO development of a larger size. Itis recommended that the City Council discuss the development regulations, draft ordinance, memorandum from DUDEK dealing with ADUS, JADUS and ALQs and direct staff Councilmember Barakat stated that fire zones are subject to Mayor Lewis wanted to know if the draft ordinance would be ready for the December 15, 2020 meeting. Lisa Kranitz replied no, the draft ordinance needs to go to the Planning Commission first because there are substantial changes. Councilmember Lathrop wants to prohibit second-story ADUS built over garages. Councilmember Hale inquired if second- story ADUS can be eliminated in the R-7,500 zone. Councilmember Barakat stated that there is a second-story addition on top of the garage on Gardi Street and it looks terrible. Mayor Lewis agreed that its should not be allowed. There was confusion about the difference between ADUS and second-story additions. Lisa Kranitz explained that State law requires that an existing area above a garage or first floor area, such as an attic, must be allowed to be converted to an ADU without increasing the existing setbacks, but it would have to comply with the Building Code. A regular second story addition would have to comply with the City's setbacks, design review, and would likely be required to have fire sprinklers.  ENHANCED ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (EADU):  feet.  RECOMMENDATION:  on how to proceed. change.
