CITIES CANNOT CHARGE ANY

IMPACT FEES FOR ADUS UNDER 750

SQFT; FEES FOR LARGER ADUS ARE LIMITED.

HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS

MUST ALLOW THE

CONSTRUCTION OF ADUS.

ADUS CAN BE DEVELOPED AT THE SAME TIME AS A PRIMARY UNIT, UNDER MOST OF THE SAME RULES.

A CITY MUST DELAY

CODE ENFORCEMENT

AGAINST AN EXISTING

UNLAWFUL ADU TO ALLOW IT TO BE LEGALIZED.

ADUs Subject to Automatic Approval - NO Local Limits

CITIES MUST PERMIT CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF ADU WITHOUT

APPLYING ANY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (E.G., LIMITS ON LOT SIZE,

UNIT SIZE, PARKING, HEIGHT, SETBACKS, LANDSCAPING, OR

AESTHETICS), IF PROPOSED ON A LOT DEVELOPED WITH ONE SINGLE-FAMILY

HOME. ADUS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS AUTOMATIC APPROVAL INCLUDE:

A NEW DETACHED ADU THAT IS NO LARGER THAN 800 SQFT, HAS A

MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 16 FEET, AND HAS REAR AND SIDE SETBACKS OF 4

FEET.

BOTH OF THE ABOVE (CREATING TWO ADUS), IF THE CONVERTED ADU IS

SMALLER THAN 500 SQFT.

AN ADU CONVERTED FROM EXISTING SPACE IN THE HOME OR ANOTHER STRUCTURE (E.G., A GARAGE), SO

LONG AS THE ADU CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE EXTERIOR AND HAS SETBACKS SUFFICIENT FOR FIRE

SAFETY.

ADU’s Subject to Ministerial ApprovalMinimal Local Limits

Even if not subject to automatic approval, a

city generally must approve any attached

or detached ADU under 1,200 sqft unless the

city adopts a new ADU ordinance setting local development standards

for ADUs. If a city adopts such an

ordinance, it must abide by the following

restrictions:

NO REQUIRED REPLACEMENT

PARKING WHEN A PARKING GARAGE IS

CONVERTED INTO AN ADU.

NO REQUIRED PARKING FOR AN ADU CREATED

THROUGH THE CONVERSION OF

EXISTING SPACE OR LOCATED WITHIN A

HALF-MILE WALKING DISTANCE OF A BUS STOP OR TRANSIT

STATION.

IF THE CITY IMPOSES A FLOOR AREA RATIO

LIMITATION OR SIMILAR RULE, THE LIMIT MUST

BE DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE

DEVELOPMENT OF AT LEAST ONE 800 SQFT

ATTACHED OR DETACHED ADU ON

EVERY LOT.

NO MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS.

NO MAXIMUM UNIT SIZE LIMIT UNDER 850 SQFT (OR 1,000 SQFT

FOR A TWO-BEDROOM ADU).

Adding Units to Multifamily Properties

FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE NEW LAWS ALLOW UNITS TO BE ADDED TO MULTIFAMILY

BUILDINGS. CITIES MUST PERMIT THESE TYPES OF UNITS IN MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS WITHOUT

APPLYING ANY LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:

NEW UNITS WITHIN THE EXISTING NON-LIVING SPACE OF A BUILDING (E.G., STORAGE ROOMS, BASEMENTS, OR GARAGES). AT LEAST ONE UNIT

AND UP TO ¼ OF THE EXISTING UNIT COUNT MAY BE CREATED THIS WAY.

TWO NEW HOMES ON THE SAME LOT AS THE MULTIFAMILY BUILDING BUT DETACHED FROM

IT, WITH 4-FOOT SIDE AND REAR SETBACKS AND A 16-FOOT MAXIMUM HEIGHT.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA

REQUIRED ONE-YEAR LEASE OFFERS

The City of Santa Barbara recently enacted an ordinance that requires landlords to offer written one-year leases to tenants. This is a brief breakdown of the ordinance. To view the full ordinance, view Ordinance No. 5885 at https://civicaweb.santabarbaraca.gov/documents/Santa%20Barbara%20Mandatory%20Lease%20Ordinance%20No%205885.pdf.

What is this Ordinance and who does it apply to?

The mandatory offer of a one-year lease shall be implemented no later than September 9, 2019, unless: a) There is currently a written lease. When the lease expires then this ordinance shall apply b) An owner-occupied unit that is rented to a tenant for less than one year c) A rental unit occupied by a tenant who subleases that unit to another tenant for less than one

year d) A rental unit where tenancy is an express condition of, or consideration for employment under a

written rental agreement or contract e) Lawfully operated vacation rentals

Is offering the lease a one-time offer or continual?

Leases must continually be offered year-after-year, even if the tenant has rejected the one-year lease offer in the past.

What happens if the tenant or the landlord don’t want a one-year lease?

Rejection by prospective tenant or tenant - The rejection must be in writing (signed and dated by tenant). Rejection forms can be:

a) prepared by the city attorney and made available through the City’s website OR b) prepared by the landlord or tenant to communicate the rejection

Non-renewal of leases by landlords - If the landlord does not wish to continue the rental relationship, then at the time the landlord delivers notice of such termination, the tenant shall be offered a one-session conciliation meeting (non-binding) with the landlord using the Santa Barbara Rental Housing Mediation Board, if available, or a qualified mediator of mutual choice and provided at mutual expense.

Tenant Protection Act of 2019-Part 1

(Statewide Rent Cap Law)

What is the Tenant Protection Act (TPA)? Effective 1-1-20, the TPA establishes, throughout all of California, a

maximum amount an owner may increase a residential tenant’s rent in a 12-month period. The cap is 5% plus

inflation, not to exceed 10%. There are exemptions.

Exemptions from the Rent Cap rules

● Housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years (new housing);

● A duplex in which the owner occupies one of the units at the commencement of and throughout the tenancy;

● A single-family residential property (including condominiums) so long as:

(1) The owner is not a corporation, not an LLC with at least one owner who is a corporation, and not a real

estate investment trust (REIT) AND

(2) The owner gives the tenant a legally required notice of this exemption. Ownership by individuals,

partnerships, individual co-owners, trusts, and LLCs with no corporate owners, all qualify for the exemption.

Giving notice of the Rent Cap exemptions:

C.A.R. form “Rent Cap and Just Cause Addendum” (RCJC) (available December 2019) may be used as follows:

For month to month tenants: For new tenancies starting on or after January 1, 2020, incorporate the RCJC

into the rental agreement. For existing tenancies, incorporate the RCJC by using a change in terms of

tenancy, such as C.A.R. “Notice of Change in Terms of Tenancy” (Form CTT).

For Fixed Term Leases: For new tenancies starting on or after January 1, 2020, incorporate the RCJC into

the new lease. For existing tenancies, simply provide the form as a stand-alone notice. If not already

provided, incorporate the RCJC into the lease upon any renewal or extension of existing leases.

Can rent be raised more than the maximum before the effective date?

Yes, however, the maximum Rent Cap raise is linked to the rent charged as of March 15, 2019. If rent was increased

more than the allowable amount (5% + inflation) before 1/1/2020 it must be rolled back to the allowable amount as

of 1/1/2020. Amounts collected before then do not have to be refunded to the tenant.

Does the TPA preempt local rent control ordinances?

Local Government Rent Caps: If a city or county limits rent increases to an amount less than that authorized by the

TPA, then the local ordinance applies. If a government entity is not as restrictive as the TPA, then the TPA applies.

Does the TPA limit the rent that an owner may charge a new tenant?

No. The initial rental rate charged a new tenant is not subject to the Rent Cap in the TPA. Subsequent increases to

the new tenant will be subject to the TPA.

Is it necessary for an owner to hire a lawyer before attempting to raise rent or evict a tenant?

The application of the TPA and its many exemptions and requirements, as well as the interplay between the TPA

and local ordinances can be complicated, and failure to abide by the law can have severe consequences. For that

reason, it is recommended that a property owner consult with a qualified real estate attorney familiar not just with

the TPA but also with local law.

the Just Cause Eviction portion of the TPA.

Tenant Protection Act of 2019-Part 2 (Just Cause Eviction Law)

What is the Tenant Protection Act (TPA)? Effective 1-1-20, the TPA prohibits, with exemptions, an owner from

evicting a residential tenant except for 15 specified reasons. There are two types of reasons: “At fault” and “No fault”.

Exemptions from Just Cause rules:

● Housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years (new housing);

● A duplex in which the owner occupies one of the units at the commencement of and throughout the tenancy;

● A single-family residential property (including condominiums) so long as:

(1) The owner is not a corporation, not an LLC with at least one owner who is a corporation, and not a real

estate investment trust (REIT) AND

(2) The owner gives the tenant a legally required notice of this exemption. Ownership by individuals,

partnerships, individual co-owners, trusts, and LLCs with no corporate owners, all qualify for the exemption.

● A single-family residence in which the owner lives and if the owner rents or leases no more than two bedrooms or

units (including an accessory dwelling unit such as a “granny-flat”);

● An owner-occupied property in which the owner and tenant share a bathroom or kitchen. The law recognizes that an

owner who lives with tenants should not be “stuck” with an incompatible tenant.

● A tenant who has not continuously and lawfully occupied the property for 12 months.

Giving notice of the Just Cause exemptions:

C.A.R. form “Rent Cap and Just Cause Addendum” (RCJC) (available December 2019) may be used as follows:

For month to month tenants: For new tenancies starting on or after January 1, 2020, incorporate the RCJC

into the rental agreement. For existing tenancies, incorporate the RCJC by using a change in terms of tenancy,

such as C.A.R. “Notice of Change in Terms of Tenancy” (Form CTT).

For Fixed Term Leases: For new tenancies starting on or after January 1, 2020, incorporate the RCJC into the

new lease. For existing tenancies, simply provide the form as a stand-alone notice. If not already provided,

incorporate the RCJC into the lease upon any renewal or extension of existing leases.

What are reasons an owner may evict a tenant for at-fault just cause?

(1) A default in the payment of rent; (2) A breach of a material term of the lease; (3) The tenant commits a nuisance or

uses the property for criminal or unlawful purposes; (4) The tenant assigns or sublets the property in violation of the

lease/rental; (5) The tenant refuses to allow the owner access; (6) The tenant refuses to sign an extension/renewal at

the expiration of the lease/rental.

What are reasons an owner may evict a tenant for no-fault just cause?

(1) The owner is withdrawing the property from the rental market; (2) The owner intends to demolish or substantially

remodel the property. Cosmetic improvements alone do not qualify; (3) The owner, or the owner’s family members

intends to occupy the unit PROVIDED the tenant has previously agreed to allow such a termination or if a provision of

the lease permits it. C.A.R. form RCJC may be used for this purpose. NOTE: For all no-fault evictions, the owner must

pay the tenant a one-month relocation fee or waive rent for the final month of the tenancy.

Does the TPA preempt local just cause eviction ordinances? If a city or county adopted a just cause eviction

ordinance on or before September 1, 2019, that ordinance applies and not the TPA. If a local just cause eviction

ordinance was adopted or amended after September 1, 2019 it only applies if it is more protective of tenants than

the TPA.

NOTE: Quick Guide Tenant Protection Act of 2019-Part 1 (Statewide Rent Cap Law) provides information on the

Rent Cap portion of the TPA.

On January 1, 2020, it will become easier to build Accessory Dwelling Units in California, thanks to a package of new bills. These bills invalidate local ADU ordinances across the state and replace them with state-mandated rules. Here are some highlights of California’s new ADU law:

Reduced Costs and Burdens for Developing ADUs

Cities must approve ADU applications within 60 days, without a hearing or discretionary review. For ADUs permitted by 2025, cities cannot require the owner to live at the property.

Cities cannot charge any impact fees for ADUs under 750 sqft; fees for larger ADUs are limited. Homeowners associations must allow the construction of ADUs.

ADUs can be developed at the same time as a primary unit, under most of the same rules. A city must delay code enforcement against an existing unlawful ADU to allow it to be legalized. For areas where development is county-controlled, all of these same rules apply to counties.

ADUs Subject to Automatic Approval — No Local Limits

Cities must permit certain categories of ADU without applying any local development standards (e.g., limits on lot size, unit size, parking, height, setbacks, landscaping, or aesthetics), if proposed on a lot developed with one single-family home. ADUs eligible for this automatic approval include:

An ADU converted from existing space in the home or another structure (e.g., a garage), so long as the ADU can be accessed from the exterior and has setbacks sufficient for fire safety.

A new detached ADU that is no larger than 800 sqft, has a maximum height of 16 feet, and has rear and side setbacks of 4 feet.

Both of the above options (creating two ADUs), if the converted ADU is smaller than 500 sqft.

ADUs Subject to Ministerial Approval — Minimal Local Limits

Even if not subject to automatic approval, a city generally must approve any attached or detached ADU under 1,200 sqft unless the city adopts a new ADU ordinance setting local development standards for ADUs. If a city adopts such an ordinance, it must abide by the following restrictions:

No minimum lot size requirements.

No maximum unit size limit under 850 sqft (or 1,000 sqft for a two-bedroom ADU). No required replacement parking when a parking garage is converted into an ADU. No required parking for an ADU created through the conversion of existing space or located

within a half-mile walking distance of a bus stop or transit station. If the city imposes a floor area ratio limitation or similar rule, the limit must be designed to

allow the development of at least one 800 sqft attached or detached ADU on every lot.

Adding Units to Multifamily Properties

For the first time, the new laws allow units to be added to multifamily buildings. Cities must permit these types of units in multifamily buildings without applying any local development standards:

New units within the existing non-living space of a building (e.g., storage rooms, basements, or garages). At least one unit and up to ¼ of the existing unit count may be created this way.

Two new homes on the same lot as the multifamily building but detached from it, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks and a 16-foot maximum height.

Governor Gavin Newsom Signs 18 Bills to Boost Housing Production

The Governor signed on October 9, 2019 the following bills to remove barriers and boost housing production:

• SB 330 by Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) establishes the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which will accelerate

housing production in California by streamlining permitting and approval processes, ensuring no net loss in

zoning capacity and limiting fees after projects are approved.

• AB 1763 by Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco) creates more affordable housing by giving 100

percent affordable housing developments an enhanced density bonus to encourage development.

• AB 116 by Assemblymember Philip Ting (D-San Francisco) removes the requirement for Enhanced Infrastructure

Financing Districts (EIFDs) to receive voter approval prior to issuing bonds.

• AB 1485 by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) will build on existing environmental streamlining law and

encourage moderate-income housing production.

• AB 1255 by Assemblymember Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) requires cities and counties to report to the state an

inventory of its surplus lands in urbanized areas. The bill then requires the state to include this information in a

digitized inventory of state surplus land sites.

• AB 1486 by Assemblymember Philip Ting (D-San Francisco) expands Surplus Land Act requirements for local

agencies, requires local governments to include specified information relating to surplus lands in their housing

elements and annual progress reports (APRs), and requires the state Department of Housing and Community

Development (HCD) to establish a database of surplus lands, as specified.

• SB 6 by Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose) requires the state to create a public inventory of local sites suitable for

residential development, along with state surplus lands.

• SB 751 by Senator Susan Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) creates the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust to finance

affordable housing projects for homeless and low-income populations and address the homelessness crisis in

the region.

• AB 1483 by Assemblymember Tim Grayson (D-Concord) requires local jurisdiction to publicly share information

about zoning ordinances, development standards, fees, exactions, and affordability requirements. The bill also

requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop and update a 10-year housing

data strategy.

• AB 1010 by Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) will allow duly constituted governing bodies of a

Native American reservation or Rancheria to become eligible applicants to participate in affordable housing

programs.

• AB 1743 by Assemblymember Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) expands the properties that are exempt from

community facility district taxes to include properties that qualify for the property tax welfare exemption, and

limits the ability of local agencies to reject housing projects because they qualify for the exemption.

• SB 196 by Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose) enacts a new welfare exemption from property tax for property owned

by a Community Land Trust (CLT), and makes other changes regarding property tax assessments of property

subject to contracts with CLTs.

The construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can also help cities meet their housing goals and increase the state’s affordable housing supply. The Governor signed the following bills to eliminate barriers to building ADUs:

• AB 68 by Assemblymember Philip Ting (D-San Francisco) makes major changes to facilitate the development of

more ADUs and address barriers to building. The bill reduces barriers to ADU approval and construction, which

will increase production of these low-cost, energy-efficient units and add to California’s affordable housing

supply.

• AB 881 by Assemblymember Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) removes impediments to ADU construction by

restricting local jurisdictions’ permitting criteria, clarifying that ADUs must receive streamlined approval if

constructed in existing garages, and eliminating local agencies’ ability to require owner-occupancy for five years.

• AB 587 by Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) provides a narrow exemption for affordable housing

organizations to sell deed-restricted land to eligible low-income homeowners.

• SB 13 by Senator Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) creates a tiered fee structure which charges ADUs more fairly

based on their size and location. The bill also addresses other barriers by lowering the application approval

timeframe, creating an avenue to get unpermitted ADUs up to code, and enhancing an enforcement mechanism

allowing the state to ensure that localities are following ADU statute.

• AB 671 by Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) requires local governments’ housing plans to

encourage affordable ADU rentals and requires the state to develop a list of state grants and financial incentives

for affordable ADUs.

In total, the Governor signed the following housing bills:

• AB 68 (Ting) – Land use: accessory dwelling units.

• AB 116 (Ting) – Local government.

• AB 587 (Friedman) – Accessory dwelling units: sale or

separate conveyance.

• AB 1486 (Ting) – Surplus land.

• AB 1743 (Bloom) – Local government: properties

eligible to claim or receiving a welfare exemption.

• AB 1763 (Chiu) – Planning and zoning: density

bonuses: affordable housing.

• SB 6 (Beall) – Residential development: available land.
