The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards for specific uses and activities that are permitted or conditionally permitted in several or all zones. These provisions are supplemental standards and requirements to minimize the impacts of these uses and activities on surrounding properties and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their occupants and of the public.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Each land use and activity covered by this chapter shall comply with the requirements of the section applicable to the specific use or activity, in addition to any applicable standard this title requires in the zone where the use or activity is proposed and all other applicable provisions of this title.
A. 
The uses that are subject to the standards in this chapter shall be located only where allowed by base, specific plan, and overlay zone use regulations.
B. 
The uses that are subject to the standards in this chapter are allowed only when authorized by the planning permit required by zone regulations, such as a Conditional Use Permit, except where this chapter establishes a different planning permit requirement for a specific use.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
An accessory use shall be secondary to a primary use and shall be allowed only in conjunction with a principal use or building to which it relates under the same regulations as the main use in any zone. These regulations are found in the land use regulation tables in Division II, Zone Regulations, and may be subject to specific standards found in this chapter or within each zone, as specified in the tables. Accessory uses and structures are also subject to the development and site regulations found in Chapter 17.22, General Site Regulations.
(Ord. 19-1 § 3)
Accessory dwelling units shall comply with all provisions of the base, overlay, or specific plan zone, except as modified by this section.
A. 
Residential Density. Even if requirements such as floor area ratio, proportionality (i.e. 50% threshold) to the existing or proposed primary dwelling unit's floor area, or other zoning standards cannot be met, the city must still allow an 850 square foot unit with setbacks of four feet from side and rear property lines, and up to the maximum building height permitted by the underlying zoning district.
B. 
Primary Dwelling Unit Required. The lot shall contain an existing detached single-unit dwelling at the time an application for an accessory dwelling unit is submitted, or the application for the accessory dwelling unit may be made in conjunction with the development of the primary dwelling. For ADUs in multi-family dwellings see subsection C below.
C. 
Number of Units. No more than one accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory unit shall be permitted on any one lot. If the lot has an existing multifamily unit building then multiple ADUs are allowed in portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages. Two detached ADUs can be added on a lot that has an existing multifamily dwelling.
D. 
Floor Area. The allowable square footage is 850 square feet for a one-bedroom ADU and 1,000 for an ADU over one bedroom. Lots larger than one acre can continue to have an ADU up to 1,200 square feet. The Junior ADU maximum square footage is 500 square feet.
E. 
Setbacks. Accessory dwelling units shall be setback four feet from the side and rear property lines except as provided below:

Accessory Dwelling Unit Constructed Above a Garage. If an accessory dwelling unit is constructed above a garage, a setback of no more than four feet from the interior lot lines shall be required for the accessory dwelling unit.
F. 
Design and Materials. The exterior design and materials of the accessory dwelling unit shall be visually compatible with the primary dwelling regarding the roof, building walls, doors, windows, horizontal/vertical expression, and architectural detail.
G. 
Utilities. Accessory dwelling units shall be metered separately from the primary dwelling for gas, electricity, communications, water, and sewer service except for accessory dwelling units constructed entirely within existing structures pursuant to subsection I, Special Provisions for Accessory Dwelling Units Constructed Entirely Within Existing Structures.
H. 
Required Parking. In addition to the required parking for the primary dwelling, an accessory dwelling unit shall be provided pursuant to Chapter 17.27, Parking and Loading.
1. 
Parking Configuration. The automobile parking for the accessory dwelling unit may be provided in setback areas and through tandem parking unless the Public Works Director finds that parking in setback areas or tandem parking is not feasible based upon the topographical conditions of the specific site or region or fire and life safety conditions.

I. 
Special Provisions for Accessory Dwelling Units Constructed Entirely Within Existing Structures. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, The city shall ministerially approve an application for a building permit to create an accessory dwelling unit and shall not require the applicant to install a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility or impose a related connection fee or capacity charge if all of the following requirements are satisfied.

The proposed accessory dwelling unit will be contained entirely within the permitted floor area of the existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure on the same lot as the primary residence.
4. 
The proposed accessory dwelling unit will have exterior access that is independent from the existing primary residence.
5. 
The interior setbacks of all structures on the lot are sufficient for fire safety.
For purposes of this subsection to be considered, an existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure, the structure must be a legally permitted structure that conforms to current zoning or is legal nonconforming as to current zoning. Accessory dwelling units constructed pursuant to this subsection shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence.

Hours of operation may be designated by the Planning Commission as condition to the issuance of a Use Permit if the Planning Commission finds, based on substantial evidence presented to it, that there is a need for regulation of hours due to a specifically identified significant problem linked to the adult entertainment use. When regulating the hours of operation of an adult entertainment use, the Planning Commission shall, whenever possible, designate hours which are consistent with the hours of operation of nearby businesses which are similar in nature. If shorter hours than those of nearby businesses of a similar nature are imposed, the Planning Commission shall:
1. 
Identify in writing the need for such shorter hours;
2. 
Make a specific finding, that a less restrictive condition or requirement would not alleviate the problems imposed by the longer hours of operation of such use; and
3.

4. 
The use shall be terminated within 180 days from the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title. A variance from this provision may be obtained if the use continues to be in noncompliance with the requirements of this section, upon the finding that the use is obligated by written lease entered into before October 18, 1989, for a period exceeding one year from the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title, or that the activity involves investment of money in a leasehold or improvements such that a longer period is necessary to prevent undue financial hardship.
a. 
For this subsection, an option to renew a lease shall not be evidence that a use is obligated by a written lease for a period beyond the current term of the lease.
