Section 12. Title 18 (Zoning), Chapter 18.41 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), Section
18.41.100 (Screening and Landscape) is hereby amended to read as follows:
18.41.100 Screening and Landscape
A. Fencing. In order to reduce or eliminate headlight glare and loss of privacy, newly
constructed outdoor off-street parking areas that cause vehicle headlights to be cast upon a
neighboring residential window or a vacant lot in a residential district shall be screened with
a masonry wall or a solid wooden fence not less than 4 feet in height. Said screening shall be
maintained in good condition at all times, shall be kept free at all times of advertising signs,
and shall be set back from any abutting public street a distance equal to the distance which
such parking area must be set back from any abutting public street.
No wall shall be required where there exists a wall that complies with the requirements of
this paragraph, either on the common property line or adjacent thereto, on either side of the
common property line, provided, however, that if such wall is thereafter removed, a
replacement wall shall be required forthwith from the owner of the parking facility.
Where a wood fence is substituted for a solid masonry wall, such fence shall be constructed
so that the boards overlap or are otherwise designed such that a person cannot see through
them as a result of subsequent shrinkage. The fence shall have fence posts of either wood
treated to resist rot and termites or of iron, steel, or masonry; and in all cases, fence posts
must be set in concrete. Under no circumstances shall walls, fences, or shrubbery be placed
or maintained on the property in such a manner as to interfere with visibility so as to
endanger safe ingress and egress. As an alternative to a fence, an earth berm, or earth berm
and wall, can be substituted for the required fence.
B. Street-Side Planter. The required front and corner side-yard setbacks shall be landscaped.
Notwithstanding the setback requirements established by this ordinance, where a parking lot
abuts a 2-lane public street, it shall be separated therefrom by a planter not less than 10 feet
in width. Where a parking lot abuts a 4-lane-or-more public street or a street designated on
the General Plan as a 4-lane-or-more arterial street, it shall be separated therefrom by a
planter not less than 15 feet in width. In commercial districts, landscaped setbacks from non-
access State highways shall average no less than 20 feet (15 feet minimum). Planter-width
requirements are as measured from the property line. Planter-width minimums can be met
using variable widths and may encroach into setback areas provided that the average width
meets the minimum-width requirements as determined by the Development Services
Director. If the sidewalk on the street is not adjacent to the property line, the area between
the back of the sidewalk and the property line shall also be landscaped in addition to the
above requirements. Public sidewalks may be located within the on-site landscape areas.
Wherever the Zoning Code or more restrictive requirement of the City requires a greater-
width planter than the above minimum,the greater requirement shall prevail.
The landscape planter between the parking facility and the street shall include shrubs that will
attain a minimum height of 3 feet above parking lot grade within 18 months of installation.
The plant materials and spacing shall be adequate to effectively screen the parking facility
from the street. City-approved street trees shall be planted within the street-side planter on
30-foot centers or in groupings approved by the Development Services Director.
As an alternative to plants alone, the following other techniques may be used:
1. Grass-covered berm a minimum of 3 feet in height with a slope not steeper than 3:1.
2. A 3-foot-high, open decorative fence in
combination with climbing and nonclimbing STREET
plants.
3. A 3-foot-high, minimum 4-inch-thick,
DRIVEWAY 30-1
decorative solid masonry or concrete wall at the
back of the planter with a ground cover and/or 29 P/L
other plants between the wall and the street. 30
4. Vegetation or screening of any type shall not
exceed 2 feet in height within areas where
VISION TRIANGLES
(CLEAR AREA OVER 2 FEET IN HEIGHT)
adequate vehicle sight distance would otherwise be obstructed. Where such screening is
adjacent to a street corner or driveway intersection, screening shall not exceed 2 feet in
height in the triangle formed by the corner and points at the curb 30 feet from the
intersection or similar corner points within 20 feet of a driveway intersection.
C. Parking Lot Interior Landscape. The interior of all parking lots is to be landscaped at a
ratio of 60 square feet of landscape for each required parking space. For each additional
space provided that exceeds the minimum parking requirement by more than five (5) spaces,
or ten percent (10%), whichever is greater, eighty- (80) square-feet of landscape shall be
provided for each excess space. The total required interior landscape area shall be evenly

18.43.140 Accessory Dwelling Units
A. Purpose and Applicability. The purpose of this section is to comply with the Government
Code of the State of California pertaining to accessory dwelling units as a means to increase
the supply of smaller affordable housing and to recognize that energy-efficient accessory
dwelling units are more affordable to the occupants of the dwelling. This section establishes
standards for the development of accessory dwelling units to ensure that they remain
compatible with the existing neighborhood.
It is not the intent of this ordinance to override lawful use restrictions as set forth in private
Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). Accessory dwelling units are not
required to meet the density requirements of the General Plan or Zoning Ordinance. Any
application that meets the requirements of this section will be approved ministerially without
a public hearing subject to meeting all applicable California Building Codes.
B. Location. An accessory dwelling unit may be constructed in any "RL" "RE" "RS" or "RM"
District if the existing use of the property is a single-family dwelling. Applications for
accessory dwelling units can be denied if. (1) the proposed unit would result in adverse
impacts to any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Places; and/or
(2)the accessory dwelling unit will not be in compliance with all provisions of this section.
C. Development Standards. One accessory dwelling unit permit will only be issued on a lot if
it complies with the following development standards. Applications for an accessory
dwelling unit shall include the following information to assist the Director in determining
compliance with this section: (1)elevations for all building sides which show all openings,
exterior finishes, roof pitch, and siding and roof materials for the existing residence and the
proposed accessory dwelling unit and (2) color photographs of the site and adjacent
properties taken from the proposed location of the accessory dwelling unit in the direction of
all property lines. The photographs shall be clearly labeled to identify the location and
direction of the photograph.
1. Location on Lot. An accessory dwelling unit may be attached or detached from the
existing main dwelling unit. If detached, the accessory dwelling unit shall meet the
setbacks required by this code, unless the unit is contained within the existing space
of a legally constructed accessory structure. If attached, the accessory dwelling unit
must meet all building setbacks required of the main dwelling, unless the unit is
contained within the existing space of a legally constructed main dwelling. Minimum
side and rear yard building setbacks of five feet are required for an accessory
dwelling unit that is constructed above a legally constructed garage.
2. Lot Size. Six thousand square feet, with a minimum width of forty feet, unless a
zoning exception is approved or the lot was created as part of a planned development.
3. Unit Size.
a. Detached accessory dwelling units. Each lot meeting the requirements of
this section shall be entitled to one detached accessory dwelling unit, with at
least five hundred square feet of living area, although smaller accessory
dwelling units meeting the requirements of the California Building Code may
be approved. Detached accessory dwelling units larger than five hundred
square feet may be approved provided that the floor area does not exceed one
thousand feet.
b. Attached accessory dwelling units. The living area of an attached accessory
dwelling unit shall not exceed fifty percent of the living area of the main
dwelling unit or one thousand square feet, whichever is less.
4. Lot Coverage. Construction of the accessory dwelling unit shall not result in lot
coverage in excess of that limited by Chapter 18.31.
5. Height. A detached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed two stories, or a
maximum height of twenty-two feet, unless additional height is permitted with
approval of a Site Development Permit by the Director.
6. Architectural Compatibility. The accessory dwelling unit shall incorporate the same
or similar architectural features, building materials, roof pitch, and colors as the
main dwelling unit. Windows that face an adjoining residential property shall be
designed/located to protect the privacy of neighbors; alternatively, fencing or
landscape shall be required to provide screening.
7. Off-Street Parking. One off-street parking space shall be provided for the accessory
dwelling unit. The required parking space may be provided as a tandem parking
space located within the front-yard setback within a driveway or as a standard space
located within the front-yard setback within a paved area immediately adjacent to the
driveway. Additional parking shall not be required in any of the following instances:
a. The accessory dwelling unit is located within one-half mile of public transit.
b. The accessory dwelling unit is located within an architecturally and
historically significant historic district.
C. The accessory dwelling unit is a part of the existing main dwelling unit or an
existing accessory structure.
d. When on-street parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant
of the accessory dwelling unit.
e. When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the accessory
dwelling unit.
8. Utilities. Separate electric meters are required for accessory dwelling units unless
the unit is contained within the existing space of the main dwelling unit or an
accessory structure, has independent exterior access from the main dwelling unit,
and the side and rear setbacks are sufficient for fire safety. Separate water and gas
meters are allowed at the option of the property owner.
D. Deed Restrictions. Before obtaining a building permit, the property owner shall file with the
County Recorder a declaration or agreement of restrictions which has been approved by the
City Attorney as to its form and content, containing a reference to the deed under which the
property was acquired by the owner stating that:
1. The accessory dwelling unit shall be considered legal only so long as either the
primary residence or the accessory dwelling unit is occupied by the owner of the
property;
2. The accessory dwelling unit cannot be sold separately;
3. The restrictions shall be binding upon any successor in ownership of the property,
and lack of compliance may result in legal action against the property owner.
E. Preexisting Accessory Dwelling Unit. Accessory dwelling units existing prior to adoption
of this section, the use of which is nonconforming in the zoning district in which it is located,
may be considered conforming if: (1) the Director issues a Zoning Clearance if it is
determined that the accessory dwelling unit complies with the requirements of this section,
which may include compliance with Building and Fire Codes and payment of development
impact fees and/or (2) a Site Development Permit is issued by the Director for units not
meeting the criteria included in this section.
F. Conversion of an Existing House to an Accessory Dwelling Unit. In cases where an
existing single-family residence is located on a parcel zoned "RL," "RE," "RS," or "RM,"
the Board of Administrative Review may approve by Site Development Permit the
construction of one additional residence, which is intended to be the primary residence on the
property. The existing residence, which is intended to become the lawful accessory dwelling
unit, must comply with all the requirements of this Code, including size limitations. The
primary residence shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable
zoning district and other requirements of this Code.

follows:
18.57.080 Adopted Specific Plan/Relationship to Zoning

established by the base zoning district. It is intended that the base district regulations will
supplement, but will not supplant, those of the Specific Plan District. The addition of adopted
specific plans to the following list shall not constitute amendment of this code.
