(Base Zones and Related Use and Development Provisions), VII (Specific Land Use
Provisions), VIII (Site Planning and General Development Provisions), IX (Land Use
Development Permit Requirements/Procedures) and X (Definitions). The proposed
amendments are intended to ensure consistency with recently adopted State
legislation related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling
units (JADUs); recently adopted State legislation related to family day care homes;
and to facilitate the development of tiny homes and tiny home communities
consistent with State policy directives to increase options for affordable housing.

(Residential Zones) related to ADUs, JADUs and family day care homes; 2)
revisions to the Base Zones Permitted Land Uses Permitted Use, Incidental Use and
Temporary Uses Tables related to ADUs, JADUs, family day care homes, tiny home
communities and manufactured dwellings; 3) revisions to the Mobile Home Park
Overlay Zone related to tiny home communities; 4) revisions to Manufactured

Provisions and Approving and Appeal Authority related to family day care homes; 8)
revisions to Design Review to remove the Design Review requirement for

homes, manufactured dwellings and tiny home communities; and 11) other minor,
non-substantive changes and technical corrections required to provide clarity or
remove redundancies, as needed. The Community & Economic Development
Department recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council determine that amendments to the Municipal Code to implement Sections
65852.1 and 65852.2 of the California Government Code are statutorily exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15282(h) of
the CEQA Guidelines; and further determine that the proposed amendments are
exempt from the CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that this proposal will have a significant effect on
the environment. Contact Planner: Matthew Taylor, Associate Planner, (951)
