3. PUBLIC HEARING
A AN APPEAL OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S
DETERMINATION THAT A ZONING CLEARANCE APPLICATION TO
CONVERT AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE INTO AN ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNIT (ADU) IS INCOMPLETE BECAUSE THE PROJECT AS
PROPOSED DOES NOT COMPLY WITH STATE ADU LAW OR THE
TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
The Commission upheld the Community Development Director's
determination that the structure is not eligible for conversion to an ADU as
proposed in the application. The property is improved with a 1 ,046-square-
foot single-story house and a detached 440-square-foot, two-car garage.
Attached to the garage is a 360-square-foot storage room that was
constructed illegally without a permit. The applicant sought to apply a
section of the State ADU law that was in effect at the time he submitted the
application that allows for an "existing garage" to be converted to an ADU
regardless of the setback. To be eligible for conversion to an ADU, the
structure must qualify as an existing structure and must qualify as a garage.
Since the structure in question is not permitted it is not considered existing
and it is not a garage, It therefore does not meet the States standard for an
ADU and was consequently denied. The property is located in the R-1
zone, and is designated as Single Family Residential by the City's General
Plan.
