To meet the housing need, and as described in the Housing Action Plan, the City is looking aggressively at how to increase housing stock using City owned properties in the downtown core. In addition, the City is looking for creative solutions to redevelop its aging and/or underutilized infrastructure and facilities. The City owned parcel at 521 Fifth Street, currently used as a surface parking lot, is adjacent to and shares a common property line with 427 Mendocino Avenue, owned by Cornerstone Properties on which an office building and private parking lot are currently situated. Considering the City’s housing goals, the desired use of the City and the privately held parcels is to increase density and retain the City-operated parking spaces while enhancing City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 14 of 18 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2017 other community benefitting uses, including but not limited to market rate and affordable housing and ground floor retail.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT CITY CODE TEXT AMENDMENT AND IMPACT FEE REDUCTION BACKGROUND: Recent revisions to the California Code of Regulations reduce the requirements for new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and create opportunities for the development of Junior ADUs, necessitating revisions to local government codes for consistency. In addition, City Council has provided direction in the Housing Action Plan to reduce obstacles to ADU construction, and minor text changes to the City Code for consistency. The revisions have been combined into a single proposed Zoning Code text amendment. On June 22, 2017 the Planning Commission recommended unanimously that the Council approve the proposed amendment. Also proposed, as a way to incentivize construction of ADUs, is a reduction to the City’s Capital Facilities and Park Impact fees. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning Commission and the Planning and Economic Development Department that the City Council introduce an ordinance amending Zoning Code Sections 20-22.030, 20-36.040, 20-42.130, 20-58.060, and 20-70.020 to allow for Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in compliance with State law and in support of the City’s Housing Action Plan, minor text changes to other City Code sections for consistency, and approve a resolution reducing Capital Facilities and Park Impact fees for new Accessory Dwelling Units. City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 16 of 18 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2017 Attachments: Staff Report Attachment 1 - Assembly Bill 2299, Senate Bill 1069, Assembly Bill 2406 Attachment 2 - Public Correspondence Attachment 3 - Council Policy 300-02 (Utility Certificates) Attachment 4 - Obtaining a permit for existing ADU Attachment 5 - Planning Commission Resolutin No. 11836 Attachment 6 - Planning Commission Meeting Draft Minutes, dated June 22, 2017 Attachment 7 - Cultural Heritage Board Minutes dated June 6, 2017 Attachment 8 - Proposed Zoning Code Text Amendments (redline) Resolution Ordinance Presentation Presented by Jessica Jones, Supervising Planner.
