T0: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 4, 1990
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: GRANNY UNIT
INDICATED ACTION: At its meeting of Monday, March 12, 1990 the Planning
Commission recommended to the City Council that a moratorium be placed on the
approval of additional "granny units" in the eastside rezoning area until the City
can determine that the additional units will not adversely impact public
facilities.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As the City Council is aware, State law requires that
cities and counties in California permit second residential units (i .e. "granny
units") in areas zoned for single-family purposes. Since the second unit was
added to the R-1 and R-2 Districts in 1984 only 3 or 4 of such units have been
constructed.
At its meeting of February 26, 1990 the Planning Commission received an
application for a "granny unit" at 205 Flora Street in the Eastside rezoning
area. Although the Planning Commission had no basis to deny the request,
Commission members expressed concern that a "granny unit" on a substantial number
of Eastside single-family lots could impact existing in -ground sanitary sewers and
fire suppression systems.
The Public Forks Director indicated that one unit was not a problem but a
substantial number of such units could lead to trouble. Since neither the staff
nor the Planning Commission knew how many additional "granny units" could be
safely constructed, the Commission recommended a moratorium until the necessary
studies could be conducted.
