Agenda Item 7—Support Removal of ADU&JADU homeowner Occupancy Requirement and DIF Reductions
Dear Mayor Salas and Chula Vista City Councilmembers:
The Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS®(PSAR)strongly supports the City of Chula Vista's removal of the
city's Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU)and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit(JADU)Homeowner Occupancy
requirements and the proposed reduction and financing of Development Impact Fees(DIFs).
PSAR supports the Staff report recommendation to remove the ADU&JADU Homeowner Occupancy requirement and
release other ADU&JADU owners from prior deed restrictions.
The County Board of Supervisors voted in February to waive all fees on the construction of ADUs over a five year pilot
period and removed the Homeowner Occupancy requirement. The City of Santee voted in August to waive their
Development Impact Fees over a five year pilot period.Therefore,PSAR agrees with the proposed reduction of impact
fees and development of DIF financing.
We encourage you to support the Staff report's recommendation to remove the ADU Homeowner Occupancy
requirement and look forward to the final staff proposal regarding the reduction and financing of ADU&JADU DIFs.
Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations and your support of expanding housing opportunities in the
City of Chula Vista.
Sincerely,
zkv
