Recommended Action: It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed
amendments, take public comment, and direct staff to return to the Commission for a
recommendation hearing.
Associate Planner Perez presented the staff report and highlighted areas of the ADU ordinance that
are proposed to be amended in response to changes to state law. He also responded to questions
from the Commission.
Chair Martin opened the public comment.
Joe Dollan spoke in favor of adding provisions to regulate tiny homes on wheels and offered
suggestions to the draft ordinance that would make installation of tiny home easier.
Chair Martin closed the public comment.
The Commission was supportive of the proposed amendments, but wanted the architectural
compatibly standards in the draft ordinance revised to be more permissive of pre-fabricated units.
The Commission also encouraged staff to revise the design standards for tiny homes to allow for
flexibility in designs that provide light and air for occupants.
Commissioner Guthrie made a motion to direct staff to make revisions to the draft ordinance in
response to comments from the Commission and the public. The motion was unanimously supported.
