2. Ministerial Review: Proposals for urban dwellings will be reviewed ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing, through the zoning clearance process.

The decision of the Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission in compliance with Section 9-1C-5-G. Only a denial of an application may be appealed, and only by the applicant. No appeal will be permitted for an approval.

i. Tree Preservation: In cases where an addition or new construction is being proposed to provide for an urban dwelling, the property owner should not remove any mature trees onsite. A mature tree is defined as a tree with a diameter-at-breast-height (DBH) of 19 inches or greater. A removal includes moving a tree or removing more than one-third of a tree’s vegetation. In addition to preservation of the tree, the owner must record a covenant showing the location of the mature tree, stating that all reasonable precautions have been made to preserve the tree, requiring all trimming of the tree to be overseen by a licensed arborist, prohibiting the tree from being topped, and that the City must approve of any removal of the tree. If removal of a tree is required to provide a minimum 800 square foot unit, the owner must meet the requirements of Section 9-1N-8 (Tree Replacement Requirements).

j. Disclosures: At the time of sale, a site with an urban dwelling must disclose to the buyer:

The decision of the Director may be appealed to the Planning Commission in compliance with Section 9-1C-5-G. Only a denial of an application may be appealed, and only by the applicant. No appeal will be permitted for an approval.

f. Parking: Parking will be in compliance with Section 9-1T-21.B.4.g.

g. Disclosures:

(1) At the time of sale, a site with an urban dwelling must disclose to the buyer:

SECTION 2: Severability. The City Council declares that, should any provision, section; paragraph, sentence or word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences and words of this Ordinance will remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 3: CEQA. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the following provisions:

1. Section 15162 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which states no additional environmental review is required when a project has been previously analyzed under a separate CEQA document. The proposed amendments implement Program C12 of the 2021-2029 Housing Element, and do not constitute a substantial change to the project, nor do they involve substantial changes in circumstances or new information of substantial importance that would result in new or more severe significant environmental impacts. All potential environmental effects of the proposed amendments were adequately analyzed in the EIR addendum for the 2021 Housing Element Update and no new mitigation measures are required beyond those previously adopted. Accordingly, the prior environmental document remains adequate and no further environmental review is warranted.

2. Section 15060(c)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, which states an activity is not subject to CEQA if it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. The proposed amendments will implement existing regulations and will not introduce new permitted uses or construction of new structures. The amendments are administrative in nature. Accordingly, the proposed action has no potential to result in a physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly, and is therefore not a “project” subject to CEQA.

SECTION 4: Certification and Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and to its approval by the Mayor and shall cause the same to be published according to law.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this __ day of 2026.
