June 8, 1993 ARCADIA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT DONNA L. BUTLER, ACTING PLANNING DIRECTOR CASE NO.: V-93-001 TO: FROM: SUMMARY James D. Zimmerman is requesting a zone variance to create a "granny house" type unit by adding a kitchen to a proposed addition which is attached to the main dwelling. The Planning Department is recommending approval subject to the conditions outlined in this report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPUCANT: James D. Zimmerman LOCATION: 418 Sharon Road Zone Variance to create a "granny house" type Unit by adding a kitchen to a proposed addition which is attached to the main dwelling. REQUEST: LOT AREA: 12,352 square feet FRONTAGE: 72' on Sharon Road EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a single-family dwelling; zoned R-1 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: Properties to the north, south, east and west are developed with single family dwellings; zoned R-l GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Single-family residential (0-6 du/ac) V -93-001 June 8, 1993 Page 1 BACKGROUND ON "GRANNY FLATS" . On July 1, 1983, Senate Bill 1534, the second unit law went into effect. The State Legislature found that there was a tremendous unmet need for new housing "to shelter California's population" and that this unmet need was further aggravated by the severe cutbacks in federal housing programs. The State further noted that second dwelling units provided relatively affordable housing for low and moderate income households without public subsidy. There were three ways local government could implement the law; they were: (1) adopt the City's own second unit ordinance, (2) allow second units according to the state's standards contained in the law, or (3) prohibit, under very limited circumstances, second units. Pursuant to the State legislation, the Planning Department initiated Text Amendment 83-4 for second unit housing within the R-M, R-D and R-1 Single- family zones upon the granting of a conditional use permit. After several public hearings, the Planning Commission noted that the State's law was not appropriate for the City because it would essentially turn Arcadia's .single-family zones in R-2 zones. The Commission recommended that the City Council deny this text amendment with the appropriate findings. . The Commission suggested, however, that if the City Council did not concur with the Planning Commission's findings, that development standards be adopted requiring the second dwelling unit to be attached to the main dwelling, be made adaptable for the handicapped and be limited to not more than two adults both of whom must be at least 60 years of age. The following were some additional standards recommended by the Planning Commission. 1. The lot should have a minimum of 15,000 square feet. 2. The second dwelling unit shall not exceed 640 square feet nor shall be smaller than 570 square feet. 3. One of the dwelling units must be owner occupied. 4. There shall be only one second single-family dwelling unit per lot. A second dwe1ling unit shall not be permitted on a lot which has a "guest house" or more than 1 dwelling unit. S. There shall be no access openings permitted between the second unit and the main unit. 6 The second dwelling shall be provided with a two car garage or carport. . V -93-001 June 8, 1993 Page2 . . . 7. Water, gas and electric services for the second dwelling unit shall be separately metered from those of the main dwelling. In November, 1983, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1782 which set forth findings precluding second units in the single-family zones. PROPOSAL The applicant, Mr. Zimmerman secured a permit in February 1993 to convert the existing attached garage and add an additional 324 square feet for a bedroom, bath and living area addition. The addition was shown on the plans as being accessible from the existing dwelling unit, with no kitchen facilities. There are no separate utilities hook-ups. A detached two car garage is proposed to replace the existing attached garage. During the construction phase, Don Stockham, the Building Inspector, noted what appeared to be wiring for a kitchen area. After discussing this matter with Mr. Zimmerman he indicated the addition was for his mother to be used as a "granny flat". According to Mr. Zimmerman, his 76 year old mother is coming to live with them and they would like her to have as much freedom as possible. The structure is attached to the main dwelling and there is a doorway between the existing house and the attached unit. There is a separate entrance to this addition. However there are no separate utility hook-ups. The applicant has "no intention or desire of using the apartment in the future as a rental unit"and has.indicated a willingness to sign a covenant guaranteeing that when and if the house is sold, the kitchen unit will be removed. Because the City does not have regulations which permit "granny flats" or second dwelling units, the property owner has applied for a zone variance. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION Staff contacted the cities of EI Monte, Monrovia, Duarte, La Canada/Flintridge, Claremont, San Marino and Laguna Beach regarding regulations for second units or what many people commonly call "granny flats". All of the cities allow second units; six of the seven cities require a conditional use permit. Four of the cities require the units to be attached to the main dwelling, all have minimum and maximum unit sizes ranging from minimum standards of 350 sq. ft. up to a maximum allowable square footage of 1,000 sq. ft. V-93-o01 June 8, 1993 Page 3 . Although each of these cities adopted enabling legislation allowing second dwelling units or "granny flats", none of the cities have experienced a proliferation of requests for second units. The Fire Department has reviewed the requested zone variance and has no objections. However, if the second family uniHs rented, the fire department would require auto fll'e sprinklers and an alarm system if the occupancy classification changes. ZONE VARIANCE FINDINGS Before a zone variance may be granted, the following fmdings must be shown (the applicant's responses are in italics) a. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involves, or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the saine zone or vicinity. "The applicant is remodeling 800 sq. ft. as an apartment for his 76 year old mother. Applicant desires to include a small kitchen unit. Remodel is part of main house and not a separate unit. Applicant is willing to state in a covenant that he will remove kitchen unit when and if house is sold." . b. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health or weUare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located. "The remodeled portion that will include the kitchen has been in existence for approximately 25 years." c That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. "To the extent that the applicant desires to care personally for his 76 year old mother. To allow her to maintain the same quality of life she has enjoyed." d That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. "The remodel with kitchen is part of the existing residence and in no way could be pointed to by others as a basis for granting a variance that would result in a rental unit." . V-93-001 June 8, 1993 Page 4 . . . The General Plan Housing Element adopted by the City Council in December, 1990 notes: "In 1980, 21 % of the City's population were 60+ years of age. Many senior citizens have fixed incomes and experience financial difficulty in coping with rising housing costs." The 1980 mean annual income of persons in Arcadia receiving social security income was $4,414. The 1990 census notes that 26% of the City's population is 55 and over. The 1990 mean annual income of persons in Arcadia receiving social security income is $9,500. The General Plan further states: "A major issue in Arcadia is the diminishing opportunities for certain economic segments to reside in Arcadia." One of the policies set forth in the General Plan is to: "Promote housing which meets the special needs of the handicapped and elderly populations...." ANAL YSIS The zoning ordinance does not allow second dwelling units in the single-family zones, however, the Planning Department recognizes that providing affordable housing for the elderly and handicapped is becoming a serious problem for both families and communities. Although there are no "exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property" involved staff does not believe approval of the zone variance would be: (1) detrimental to the public health or welfare, nor injurious to the property and improvements in this zone or vicinity; or (2) adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. The Planning Department believes that granting this zone variance would not set a precedent for future uses if the appropriate conditions are included as part of the approval. CEOA Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on V-93-o01 June 8, 1993 Page 5 \ . wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of V-93-001 subject to the following conditions: 1. The second dwelling unit shall maintain direct access into the main dwelling as per the plans on file. 2. That all utilities shall be part of the primary dwelling unit, Le., no separate hook-up services. 3. That the second dwelling unit shall not have a separate address. 4. That the property owner must occupy the primary dwelling unit. 5. That any person occupying the second dwelling unit must be at least 60 years old. 6. That the second dwelling unit shall not be rented, leased or occupied by any person unrelated to the owners of the property. . 7. That upon sale or transfer of title of the property, the second dwelling unit will be converted back to an integral portion of the attached main dwelling and all kitchen and cooking facilities removed.. 8. That a covenant in a form and content approved by the City Attorney shall be filed, prior to receiving a final on the building, agreeing to and including all the conditions set forth above. 9. That V-93-001 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. REOUIRED FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Findings The Planning Commission should examine the information and make findings relevant to the prerequisite conditions as stated in Section 9291.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code, which read as follows: . V-93-001 June 8, 1993 Page 6 . . . A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity. B. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health or weUare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located. C That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. D. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. Approval If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve this project, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific findings and conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission). Denial If the Planning Commission intends to take action to deny this project, the Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and findings in support of that decision.
