Committee amends ADU rules, keeps local priorities and continues item for follow-up

Feb 12, 2024

The committee approved amendments to the ADU ministerial-approval ordinance to retain a two-ADU limit in the hybrid program, expand historical-property eligibility language, and add a 60-day local approval timeline; it then continued the item to the call of the chair.

The full story

President Peskin proposed a package of targeted amendments to the ordinance clarifying ministerial approval for certain accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The proposed changes would (1) retain a two‑ADU limit in hybrid ADU provisions to steer more ADUs to the local program, (2) make California Register‑eligible properties explicitly eligible in the historic designation language, and (3) add a 60‑day approval timeline for the local program to increase its appeal compared with state programs.
