AMENDMENT TO THE SAN PABLO ZONING CODE, CHAPTER 17.60,
SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL USES, SECTION 17.60.070, ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS, TO UPDATE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND
REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO REFLECT CURRENT STATE LAW AND
PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
(ADUS).
CEQA: This amendment to the ADU portion of the Zoning Ordinance is
statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which exempts the
adoption of accessory dwelling unit ordinances. Additionally, the ordinance
would be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA, in
accordance with Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen
with certainty that there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment because it consists of minor changes to land use regulations
that do not, on their own, impact the environment. Any projects proposed
pursuant to the changes proposed would be separately evaluated for their
environmental impacts.
