City amends accessory‑dwelling‑unit rules (Ordinance 13‑73) to comply with state law
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 13‑73 to update accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations, noting the need to stay aligned with changing state legislation and confirming the amendments are exempt from CEQA.
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 13‑73 on second reading to update local regulations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) under Z‑S‑2026‑0001.
Council member Rhodes said the ordinance is necessary "to become in compliance with the laws," noting ongoing state actions (AV956 and SB 1117 were referenced by a councilmember as forthcoming changes that could further affect ADU rules). After brief comments and a second, the ordinance passed unanimously.
Staff will implement the code changes and monitor any additional state legislation that may require further amendments.
