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:
1. Garage Conversions. No setback shall be required
for an existing, legally permitted garage that is converted to an
accessory dwelling unit. However, no addition may be constructed to
the converted garage that increases the encroachment into the setback.
2. 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.
2. Parking Exceptions for Certain Accessory Dwelling Units. Automobile parking is not required for an accessory dwelling
unit 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 contained entirely within the permitted
floor area of the existing primary residence or an existing accessory

e. When there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the
accessory dwelling unit.
f. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished
in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit
or converted to an accessory dwelling unit.
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.
1. The
lot is located with a Residential Zone on a lot that otherwise would
not qualify for more than one dwelling unit.
2. The
construction will result in no more than one primary residence and
one accessory dwelling unit, and one junior accessory dwelling unit
on the lot.
3. 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.

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

forth the period of time after which the permit holder could seek
review of the Planning Commission's designation of the hours of operation
of the use.
C. Nonconforming Uses. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this title, adult entertainment uses which were in existence prior

such use is discontinued for a continuous period of more than 90 days
for any reason, the use shall be considered terminated and may not
be re-established.
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.
