Thousand Oaks council adopts ordinance updating accessory dwelling unit rules to reflect state law
Summary
The Thousand Oaks City Council on March 25 adopted an ordinance updating municipal code sections that regulate accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units to align with recent state law changes; the measure passed unanimously.
The Thousand Oaks City Council adopted an ordinance March 25 updating local rules for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) to implement recent changes in state law.
The ordinance, numbered 1735 NS, revises Title 9, Chapter 4 (Article 2 and Article 45) and several specific sections including 9-4.20104 (permitted use matrix — residential zone), 9-4.4506 (development standards), 9-4.4507 (objective design standards), 9-4.4508 (parking) and 9-4.4513 (statewide exemption). The council vote on the consent calendar was 5-0.
The changes are intended to bring Thousand Oaks code into conformity with recently adopted state ADU requirements and to clarify local development and parking standards. City staff read the ordinance title aloud during the meeting before the consent calendar was approved.
The consent calendar that included the ordinance also advanced other routine items approved without separate debate. During public comment on the consent calendar, resident Clint Fultz praised the city’s direction on electric vehicles and renewable infrastructure; his remarks were delivered separately from the ordinance discussion and did not alter the item’s approval.
The ordinance will be filed and codified per the city’s normal administrative procedures. City staff indicated no additional immediate council action was required for this item.
