South Gate council introduces ordinance to update ADU rules to match state law, waives reading
Summary
The council voted to introduce zoning code amendments to South Gate Municipal Code Chapter 11.43 to align accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules with recent state law changes, including allowance for multiple detached ADUs on multifamily parcels and removal of owner-occupancy requirement for new ADU applications.
City planners and council members on Sept. 23 advanced zoning amendments to South Gate’s accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance to conform local rules to a series of recent state laws.
Associate Planner Joshua Valdez summarized proposed revisions to South Gate Municipal Code Chapter 11.43, explaining that state bills — including AB 345, SB 897, AB 976, SB 477 and SB 1211 — have changed how municipalities may regulate ADUs and junior ADUs. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal on Aug. 19 and voted 5–0 to recommend approval; the council voted to waive full reading and introduce the ordinance at the meeting.
