DATE: J , 014 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA,
AMENDING SECTION 93.23.14 OF, AND AMENDING OR REPEALING
VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE,
RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ACCESSORY SECOND
UNIT PROGRAM IN THE CITY.
FROM: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
California State law requires all local jurisdictions to allow accessory second units.
California's accessory second unit law sets standards that apply in the absence of a
local ordinance, including a requirement that any application for proposed accessory
second unit that meets such standards must be reviewed ministerially, without public
hearing. The City can provide more lenient requirements subject to a public hearing
and review process.
Staff has prepared a An Accessory Second Unit Ordinance, which is exempt from the
requirements of CEQA, under Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code. The
ordinance will provide the City with development and design guidelines for processing
permits for Second Units. The proposed ordinance creates one comprehensive
approach to accessory second units in the City and provides consistent development
standards and processes for the review and approval of accessory second units
consistent with state law. The proposed ordinance also eliminates the current and
conflicting second unit provisions of the Zoning Code that have been adopted in a
piecemeal fashion over the years.
Staff is recommending approval and adoption of the proposed Ordinance, as provided
in Attachment A. Staff finds that the proposed ordinance would allow the City to ensure
that second units that are built in the City comply with the goals and objectives of the
General Plan, the Housing Element, and the standards of the Zoning Code for
residential properties

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 93.23.14 OF, AND AMENDING
OR REPEALING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL
CODE, RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ACCESSORY SECOND UNIT
PROGRAM IN THE CITY.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Accessory second units are important in meeting the State-mandated housing
requirements given to cities through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
numbers. State law declare that second unit provide housing for family members,
students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and others, at below
market prices within existing neighborhoods. State law further declares that homeowners
who create second units benefit from added income and an increased sense of security.
The development of second units is regulated by State's Second Unit Law (Government
Code Section 65852.2) which requires that the City process second unit applications
ministerially, without a public hearing. The City must also process such applications in
accordance with the generic development standards set forth in the Second Unit Law and
summarized below. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to eliminate a series of
inconsistent zoning code requirements relating to second units and establish the City's
own development standards for accessory second units, taking into account land use and
planning issues that are unique to the City and to ensure consistency with the City's
General Plan, Housing Element, and zoning standards for residential properties.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 11, 2014 and recommended
changes to staffs original proposal including allowing accessory second unit to be up to
99% the size of the primary unit with a Conditional Use Permit.
ANALYSIS:
State Law
There has been a significant amount of State law in the past several decades regarding
granny flats or second units or accessory apartments. Since 1982, State law has
mandated that municipalities allow these uses either using state standards or adopting
their own, in full compliance with State law.
Local governments may still set height, setback and lot coverage standards and set
minimum unit sizes and establish parking requirements. Conditional Use Permits may
not be required for units that meet state imposed minimums.
The second Unit Law provides the following:

City Council Staff Report July 2,2014
Case 5.1341 ZTA Page 3 of 5
1. The City is not required to amend or adopt a second unit ordinance. If the City
decides to adopt an ordinance, the ordinance may do any of the following:
• Designate single and multi-family residential areas where second units may be
permitted. The designation may be based on factors, including but not limited to,
the adequacy of water and sewer services and the impact of second units on
traffic flows
• Impose standards on second units that include, but are not limited to parking,
height, setbacks, lot coverage, architectural review, maximum size of a unit, and
standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the
California Register of Historic Places.
• Provide that second units do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon
which the second unit is located and that second units are a residential use that
is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation.
• Establish minimum and maximum unit size requirements for both attached and
detached second units. However, minimum size requirements must permit at
least an efficiency unit to be constructed in compliance with local development
standards.
• Establish parking requirements that do not exceed one parking space per unit or
per bedroom unless a finding is made that the additional parking is required and
is directly related to the use of the second unit and consistent with existing
neighborhood standards applicable to existing dwellings. Off-street parking shall
be permitted in setback areas or through tandem parking, unless specific findings
are made that parking in setback areas or tandem parking is not feasible based
upon specific site or regional
2. The City's Ordinance may not be considered in the application of any local
ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.
3. The City's must also consider any second unit application ministerially without
discretionary review or a public hearing if they meet requirements of the local ordinance.
4. The City may not totally preclude second units within single-family or multi-family
zones unless the ordinance contains findings acknowledging that the ordinance may
limit housing opportunities of the region and further contains findings that specific
adverse impacts on the public health, safety, and welfare (i.e., the adequacy of water
and sewer services and the impact of second units on traffic flow) that would result from
allowing second units within single-family and multi-family zones justify the prohibition of
second units.
5. The City cannot require that second units be occupied by persons related to the
owner of the primary unit, caregivers, or dependents.
6. The ordinance can include income restrictions to ensure the creation of
affordable housing.

Case 5.1341 ZTA Page 4 of 5
7. Cities can charge a fee to cover costs, including the costs of adopting or
amending any ordinance that provides for the creation of second units.
8. If the City has not adopted a second unit ordinance within 120 days after
receiving the application, the City must process the application in accordance with the
following development standards set forth in Second Unit law:
• The Second Unit is not intended for sale and may be rented.
• The lot is zoned for single-family or multi-family use.
• The lot contains an existing dwelling unit
• The second unit is attached to the existing dwelling unit and located within the
living area of the existing dwelling unit or detached from the existing dwelling unit
and located on the same lot as the existing dwelling unit.
• The increase in floor area for the creation of an attached second unit shall not
exceed 30 percent of the existing living area.
• The total floor area of a detached second unit shall not exceed 1,200 square feet.
• Requirements relating to height, setback, lot coverage, architectural review, site
plan review, fees, charges, and other zoning requirements generally applicable to
residential construction in the zone in which the property is located are met.
• Local building code requirements which apply to detached dwelling unit, as
appropriate, are met.
• Approval by the local health officer where a private sewage disposal system is
being used, if required.
• A second unit under these provisions is not considered to exceed the allowable
density for the lot on which it is located, and is deemed a residential use which is
consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designations of the lot.
• The applicant for a second unit permit may be required to be an owner-occupant.
9. The City may adopt less restrictive requirements for the creation of second units.
10. The City is required to submit a copy of its second unit ordinance to the
Department of Housing and Community Development within 60 days after adoption.
Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance
The City's Zoning Ordinance currently has three separate sections relating to second
units. Section 92.01.01.A.2 relates to servants quarters, guest houses, and accessory
living quarters without kitchens, permitted as a matter of right; Section 92.23.14 relates
to accessory apartment housing, subject to a conditional use permit; and Section
92.01.01.D.3 which relates to guest houses with kitchen capabilities, subject to a
conditional use permit.
The following chart summarizes the current Code permitted uses:

AMENDING OR REPEALING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF
THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ACCESSORY SECOND

City Attorney's Summary
This Ordinance eliminates conflicting second dwelling unit
provisions of the City's Zoning Code and establishes a
comprehensive regulatory program for accessory dwelling
units in residential zone districts in the City.
The City Council of the City of Palm Springs finds:
A. The proposed Zone Text Amendment (Case 5.1341 ZTA) is Categorically
Exempt from the provisions of CEQA under Section 15305 — Minor Alterations in Land
Use Limitations) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act because
the proposed zone text amendment implements insignificant changes to the land use or
density.
B. The proposed Zone Text Amendment establishes a comprehensive regulatory
program for creation of accessory dwelling units that comply with state law to provide
housing for family, students, and the elderly, thereby providing much needed affordable
housing options.
C. The proposed Zone Text Amendment provides a means by which the City may
create new opportunities for housing at below market prices within existing
neighborhoods in compliance with State Law regarding second units.
D. The adoption of the proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with the intent
of the Zoning Ordinance and the City's General Plan by encouraging the development
and provision for housing for students, the elderly, in-home health providers, the
disabled, and others.
The City Council of the City of Palm Springs ordains:
