Oshita said the program, established in 1980, regulates eight mobile home parks in Thousand Oaks and that City Council dissolved the Rent Adjustment Commission in 2021, delegating hearing responsibilities to the Planning Commission. She explained that capital improvement applications are reviewed administratively, whereas just and reasonable return applications require a Planning Commission public hearing and a written determination that may be appealed to City Council.

Oshita described the proposed hearing policies: staff recommended a standard time allotment of no more than 15 minutes for the applicant group (owner, attorneys, consultants), 15 minutes for the tenant group (mobile homeowners, attorneys, consultants), and a 10-minute rebuttal for the applicant, with flexibility to extend or reduce questioning based on case complexity. She told the commission staff proposes minor edits to the resolution language to add \"relevant to the case\" to section 7 and to revise the second sentence to begin \"Factors considered may include, but are not limited to.\"

An unnamed staff speaker acknowledged the difficulty and complexity of rent-adjustment hearings and reminded the commission that appeals to City Council are possible. Commissioner McMahon moved to find the action not a project under CEQA (citing section 15378(b)(5)) and to adopt the resolution, as corrected. The motion carried 4-0 (Commissioner Lanson absent). The minutes show the Planning Commission will apply the adopted hearing time limits and the clarified language when it hears a just and reasonable return application.","The commission adopted a resolution setting public hearing policies and time limits for mobile home rent adjustment hearings and accepted staff clarifications to the proposed language; the motion passed 4-0 with one commissioner absent.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6648146,"Planning Commission recommends City Council adopt SB 9 code updates to align with state law",1297,1205000,2502000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3428707-b4e30a40aee054ce092c8caa2ed41a83&start=1205&end=2502","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3428707-b4e30a40aee054ce092c8caa2ed41a83/thumbnail_1205000.jpg","/articles/6648146/Thousand-Oaks/Ventura-County/California/Planning-Commission-recommends-City-Council-adopt-SB-9-code-updates-to-align-with-state-law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648146-76899c88766e4f1f5d609c565f309dce/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213314&Signature=Esjtl6rWtg-C2cgxpcsoPLv6nGCFgk3q6wSCqrETEO6viCHYu9RV7TANWiMz6-qtzWyW7XV1YTOCqExJsyAScyoJKhh9ugN6NE6xsKs9-05ofyyRFyaaNjhxQXJ95S1RlwhhFcuoW-hR1vtJX4q3o7eU0yblJXJm4lhfjoHlPi55HY8~27VekHWJcW6zL7uuwR~ABMmkKKzV-aKej-JdQdqZUGlLu2W6nvoHwisWCDMgTmWeTZkmV5dnZedNgbpITBOjyRWjKMcwnkieo6SkG0y7He6i-G-L~8KF6QAQUhlnBFHLu97VFZnPLLu4mScT2uFIT8y3XOJhEAvnh7r-6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senior Planner Justine Kendall presented a municipal code amendment to update Thousand Oaks' SB 9 regulations and to incorporate statutory changes from SB 450.

Kendall told the commission that \"SB 9 was signed by Governor Newsom on 09/16/2021, and the law went into effect on 01/01/2022,\" and summarized requirements for ministerial approval of two-unit housing developments and one-time urban lot splits under state law. She said the proposed changes would update Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 37 of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code and that staff recommends finding the amendment exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to state provisions that implement SB 9 and SB 450.

The amendment responds to SB 450 changes enacted in 2024 that, among other items, limit local discretion by requiring objective standards that apply uniformly to the underlying zone and by allowing demolition of more than 25% of exterior walls in certain cases. Kendall explained specific local adjustments included in the draft ordinance: clarifying eligibility checks for protected habitat/tree confirmation, aligning pedestrian access standards with Article 22 objective design standards, removing garage-conversion and bridle-glass language that did not apply uniformly, correcting a height limit error to state that structures may be up to 25 feet and up to two stories, and allowing flag lots created by urban lot split if the flag staff is at least 20 feet wide.

She also noted procedural clarifications: a habitable dwelling must exist at the time of approval to meet owner-occupancy requirements; building permits for two-unit developments tied to a concurrent urban lot split will not be issued until the tentative parcel map is recorded unless the unit arrangement is permissible without the split; and processing times required by state law have been incorporated. Kendall said the ordinance remains consistent with the city's general plan and housing element goal LU-3.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about how long the city will need to update the ordinance and about application volume. Kendall said she \"expect[s] to be before you again\" for future updates and reported about 20 SB 9 submittals to date, with approximately 11 approvals and 5 built projects.

Commissioner Lanson moved to find the update exempt from CEQA under California Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 and to recommend that the City Council adopt the updated ordinance to comply with state law. The motion carried 5-0 (Buss: yes; Tyler Kettlehut: yes; Lanson: yes; McMahon: yes; Chair Farris: yes). The Planning Commission record notes that the Planning Commission's action is a recommendation; the City Council will take final action on the ordinance.

The record of the hearing shows staff and commissioners discussed the practical effects of SB 450's restrictions on local discretion and the need to balance state mandates with retaining as much local control as possible. The commission made no additional direction to staff beyond the recommendation to council and standard clarifying requests documented in the staff report.","The Thousand Oaks Planning Commission voted 5-0 to find the municipal code amendment updating local SB 9 and SB 450 regulations exempt from CEQA and to recommend the City Council adopt the ordinance to implement state law changes.","actionData","errors"]
