Enactment #:
Title:
Ordinance amending the Planning Code to require Conditional Use authorization for the removal of
any residential unit (whether authorized or unauthorized) and to exempt from the Conditional Use
application requirement unauthorized units where there is no legal path for legalization, residential
units that have received prior Planning approval, and single-family homes that are demonstrably
unaffordable or unsound; amending the Building Code to require that notices of violation order the
filing of an application to legalize an unauthorized unit unless infeasible under the Building Code, the
Planning Commission approves its removal, or a serious and imminent hazard exists on the property;
affirming the Planning Department’s determination under the California Environmental Quality Act; and
making findings of consistency with the General Plan, Planning Code, Section 302, and the eight
priority policies of Planning Code, Section 101.1.
