CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 20.400.330
OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND FINDING THAT THE
ACTION IS STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES
CODE §21080.17
The proposed urgency ordinance will amend Section 20.400.330 of the Stanton Municipal
Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority
to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
(JADUs). Except as otherwise noted, these new laws take effect on January 1, 2026. The
Council previously held a public hearing for a similar ordinance that introduced the same
code amendments to comply with new ADU legislation, however, if adopted, the
Ordinance will not become effective until after January 1, 2026. If the City does not have
a compliant ordinance in place on January 1, 2026 then its regulations become entirely
null and void. The proposed urgency ordinance would become effective immediately after
approval so staff is requesting the proposed urgency ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 1168,
entitled:
“AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
STANTON AMENDING SECTION 20.400.330 OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS TO COMPLY WITH RECENT CHANGES IN
STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT
FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE § 21080.17”; and
2. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 1168 is statutorily
exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Public Resources Code § 21080.17. |
