MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AND MOORPARK PLANNING COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council and Planning Commission FROM: Karen Vaughn, Community Development Director DATE: 01/08/2020 Special Joint Meeting SUBJECT: Receive Update on New Housing-Related Laws BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The 2019 California Legislative Session produced a number of new laws aimed at addressing the statewide housing crisis. These laws became effective on January 1, 2020. Several of these laws will have direct impacts on Moorpark, including: SB330: Declares a statewide housing emergency; Amends the Permit Streamlining Act and Housing Accountability Act, affecting local review and approval processes for all development projects; Creates a new "Preliminary Application" process and limits the number of public hearings for housing projects; Freezes applicable development standards and fees for housing projects; Prohibits local ability to reduce density or downzone properties to a less intensive use, adopt new subjective design standards, impose moratoriums or caps on housing, or limit the City's population. SB13, AB68, AB587, AB670 & AB881 - Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Bills: Creates "Building Permit Only" process for certain ADU's and Junior ADU's; Allows one ADU plus one Junior ADU on single family properties and allows ADU's on multifamily properties; Removes barriers to the production of ADU's, including certain development standards and owner-occupancy requirements; Further reduces ADU parking requirements; Voids homeowner association (HOA) restrictions on ADU's. AB1763 - Density Bonus Law: Allows additional incentives or concessions for eligible housing projects; Requires a height increase of up to 3 stories or 33' above the base zoning requirements be granted for eligible housing projects within one-half mile of a major transit stop (in addition to allowable incentives or concessions); Restricts local ability to impose any other Honorable City Council and Planning Commission 01/08/2020 Special Joint Meeting Page 2 maximum controls on density; Further reduces parking requirements for affordable special needs housing and supportive housing near transit. The purpose of the joint meeting is to receive a presentation from Richards, Watson & Gershon, the City's legal consultants, on the new housing laws and provide a forum for questions and discussion. Staff will bring forward a package of zoning amendments in early 2020 to ensure compliance with the new state laws. FISCAL IMPACT None. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive.
