PROJECT FILE 0017 103 Request by the Roseville Planning Division for approval of a TEXT AMENDMENT 104 TO Chapter 1009 of the Zoning Code to add regulations pertaining to ACCESSORY 105 DWELLING UNITS (ADU’s) 106 Chair Boerigter opened the Public Hearing at 5:58 p.m. 107 Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of the Planning Division as detailed 108 in the Request for Planning Commission Action (RPCA) dated April 6, 2011. Mr. Lloyd 109 advised, pertinent to discussion with the previous case, that if a household is renting to 110 another family member, they are not required to register the ADU as a rental unit with the 111 City’s rental registration program, but simply submit an affidavit stating that the renter or 112 occupant is a family member. 113 Staff recommended approval of the Amendments to Chapter 1009 of Roseville City 114 Code, as detailed in Section 1 of the RPCA dated April 6, 2011. 115 Discussion among Commissioners and staff included an estimate of the number of ADU’s 116 currently in the community, with staff responding that only one had been approved to- 117 date, at the Commission’s March 2011 meeting, while acknowledging that there may be 118 some existing spaces used for that purpose and predating current code requirements; 119 staff’s willingness to make the unique address identifier system (using an “A” or “B” 120 identification attached to the street address) as consistent and descriptive as possible; 121 mailing and/or mapping versus emergency response needs at an address; relationship of 122 the ADU to the primary dwelling unit; and administration considerations versus potential 123 undue burden of current proposed language of Item E related to occupation by someone 124 other than the property owner at the ADU. 125 Staff noted that other sections of City Code addressed the number of unrelated 126 occupants per unit, and that those requirements would still apply. 127 Public Comment 128 Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing at 6:07 p.m.; no one spoke for or against. 129 Further discussion included the square footage limitations of accessory buildings based 130 on standard dimensions for single and double car garages; administration through the 131 Building Permit process; and establishment of ADU square footage during the Zoning 132 Code amendment process at 600 square feet maximum. 133 MOTION 134 Member Boerigter moved, seconded by Member Boguszewski to RECOMMEND 135 APPROVAL of the TEXT AMENDMENTS to Chapter 1009 of Roseville City Code, as 136 detailed in Section 1 of the RPCA dated April 6, 2011; with Item E amended to read 137 as follows: 138 When occupied by someone other than the property owner, “ “[An} ADU shall use a 139 unique address identifier to differentiate it from the principal dwelling.” 140 Ayes: 7 141 Nays: 0 142 Motion carried. 143
