Staff is recommending that this item be deemed Statutorily Exempt under CEQA. Tentative City Council Meeting Date: August 2, 2022. Project Planner: Daniel Fama, Senior Planner Note: This matter was previously considered by the Planning Commission at its regular meeting of March 22, 2022. Subsequently, however, additional revisions to the draft ordinance were required for consistency with HCD guidance. Pursuant to Government Code Sec. 65857, the Planning Commission must review substantial modifications to the proposed amendment prior to consideration by the City Council. Campbell Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2022 Page 3 The Commission had initial questions about the number of parcels available in Campbell that may qualify for an Accessory Dwelling Unit; the time period which an owner has to build a second unit and when they will need to reapply; and the number of stories allowed to be built as part of the SB-9 ordinance. Planner Fama clarified application timetable process and that City of Campble building standards still apply. Questions regarding deed/residency requirements were clarified by Planner Fama that Owner Occupancy requirement can be met through an affidavit by the owner that the owner will intend to reside on the property. Further questions were asked to Planner Fama regarding urban lot splits and the planning/application process when applicants are putting together plans for a construction that they may not execute. Planner Fama explained that the applicant needs to show what the full project build-out would look like but will not be required to execute the entire project. Vice Chair Buchbinder clarified that the normal process includes a multi-step process to allow for an iterative review on lot splits with tentative and final plans, but ministerial review did not allow for that, so having plans presented to lot split time is a way of adapting to the new ordinance. Planner Fama clarified that there are two scenarios for an SB-9 application; there are two primary units on an existing lot plus an ADU and JADU or separately from that you can do an urban lot split, where you are limited to two units on each lot inclusive of primary unit, ADU, or JADU, in either scenario one piece of property will get you four units. In regard to maximizing non-residential useable space, Commissioner Ostrowski, asked why balconies or decks would be prohibited. Planner Fama clarified that this restriction was to minimize the privacy impact as a result of building a balcony or deck. City Attorney Bill Seligmann clarified that objective design standards are not required by the ordinance but if they are left in the proposed ordinance they will required. The Planning Commission is able to make recommendations to the City Council and the details to be included in the adopted SB-9 ordinance. Chair Ching opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak, hearing none Chair Ching closed public hearing and opened discussion for Planning Commission. Commissioner Kamkar began the discussion by wanting to address the privacy impact of building balconies or decks. Vice Chair Buchbinder proposed modifying design review standard to say that rooftop terraces and decks are only allowed if they have, for example, front exposure. Planner Fama clarified that removing limitations on balconies or terraces would remove any recourse from a neighbor if they had any privacy issue(s). After extensive discussion, the Commissioners agreed to move forward with recommending the draft ordinance to City Council without any proposed modifications or revisions and closed discussion. Motion: Upon motion by Commissioner Zisser, seconded by Commissioner Krey, the Planning Commission adopted resolution No. 4651 recommending that the City Council adopt (1) an ordinance to add new chapter 21.25 (two-unit housing developments) and chapter 20.14 (urban lot splits) to the Campbell Municipal Code to implement senate bill no. 9 and amending various section of the municipal code pertaining Campbell Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2022 Page 4 to the regulation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs); (2) an amendment to the Campbell Village Neighborhood Plan to incorporate by reference the proposed SB-9 implementation provisions; and (3) a general plan amendment to the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan to incorporate by reference the proposed implementation SB-9 provisions.
