accessory dwelling units were adopted after the Draft General Plan was prepared.
The State’s actions would not affect the General Plan as the legislation stated that
accessory dwelling units shall not be counted toward calculating density. Further
the City has adopted an accessory dwelling unit ordinance, which the Committee
can recommend changes to when it begins the Zoning Code Update.
Ms. Guan sought clarification on the City’s existing overnight parking permit
program and how that would be affected by the new Specific Plan. Mr. Reimers
explained that residents of new units in the Specific Plan area would not be issued
an overnight parking permit.
Ms. Liou made a motion to recommend that the City Council (1) Certify the Final

Bustamante seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
