TOP STORY:
The San Diego City Council late Monday night voted in favor of updated rules on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
In a 5-4 vote, the council voted to cap the number of backyard homes that can be built on single-family lots, depending on square footage. The amendments to the city’s ADU program are an effort to prevent developers from building dozens of ADUs on smaller lots.
The council approved rollbacks of specific polices, such as a requirement for developers to pay infrastructure fees, mandated parking spots for ADUs that are not near transit, and requiring ADUs to be certain distances from property lines.
Additionally, ADUs are being limited to two stories and a maximum of 1,200 square feet, and they are prohibited in cul-de-sacs in high wildfire risk areas.
The vote came after more than 200 people packed the council meeting to speak up for or against the program adjustments.
California officials have warned San Diego that they could be in violation of state law if certain changes are made, and that could mean a loss of state funding for housing projects.
A second reading on the matter is set in a few weeks to review changes, and if it is passed then, the ordinance will take effect by August.
