WHEREAS, In January 2017, the State of California enacted laws: Senate Bill 1069;
Assembly Bill 2299; and Assembly Bill 2406 to address the statewide affordable housing
demand by requiring a ministerial approval process for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) thereby making the City's current Accessory Second
Dwelling Unit (ASDU) ordinance null and void; and
WHEREAS, a staff committee convened to review and amend the City's ASDU
ordinance to be in compliance with State law; and
WHEREAS, staff prepared draft amendments to the existing ASDU ordinance, and
various code sections where residential uses are pennitted, to incorporate State law requirements;
and
WHEREAS, staff presented the draft ordinance amendments to the Development
Services Oversight Committee which recommended adoption; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services reviewed the proposed action for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that the
action is not a "Project" as defined Linder Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines;
therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the action is not subject
to CEQA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has also
determined that the action qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, no further environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS, a hearing time and place was set by the Planning Commission to consider
the Chula Vista Municipal Code amendments and notice of said hearing, together with its
purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, at least
ten (10) days prior to the hearing; and
