LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 13, as introduced, Wieckowski. Accessory dwelling units.

The Planning and Zoning Law provides for the creation of accessory dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified standards and conditions. Existing law prohibits an accessory dwelling unit from being considered a new residential use for purposes of calculating certain fees, including local agency connection fees or capacity charges for utilities.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would reduce impact fees and other existing barriers for homeowners seeking to create accessory dwelling units for the purpose of creating additional residential housing within their neighborhoods.
