Project Address: City-wide
Project Applicant: City of Pomona
Project Planner: Vinny Tam, Supervising Planner
Council District: All
A city-initiated request to amend the City of Pomona Zoning and Development Code (PZDC) for the purpose of regulating Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in accordance with State law. The request will include amending Section 830.A Accessory Dwelling Units.
Under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Section 65852.1 or Article 2 (commencing with Section 66314) of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, which is California's Accessory Dwelling Unit and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit law. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State's Accessory Dwelling Unit law.
Recommendation:
The Planning Division recommends the Planning Commission consider the amendments to the draft ordinance and adopt the attached draft Resolution recommending the City Council approve Code Amendment (CODE-001662-2024), as presented and without amendments.
