Will live twete later. Don't guess most of this will be controversial, but the NIMBs may complain about ADUs & @GregTanaka has signaled that he will oppose safe parking pilot program, which would allow churches to have a whopping 4 vehicles in their lots (at night only!).

Affordable housing funding for Wilton Court secured unanimously on consent! Congrats to @Housing_Choices and Palo Alto Housing for getting funding needed to set aside units for developmentally disabled adults.

Planning director Lait is presenting urgency ordinance to bring Palo Alto into compliance with new state laws on ADU's. nitter.vloup.ch/adrianfine/statu… Don't think the city has any latitude to not pass this ordinance.

Kniss asking for data on ADU's actually built in Palo Alto, noting that sometimes people obtain permits, but are then discouraged from building due to high costs. Presumably, state law changes to limit impact fees will result in more actually constructed units.

Cormack asks how long permits are taking to get approval. Staff indicates that the city applied for a grant to help provide faster OTC permitting. Expresses trepidation about whether the ordinance is compliant given late-breaking changes to the ordinance this afternoon.

Dubois asks what zones this applies to. Does it apply to multifamily? Planning director is unsure.

Dubois concerned that ADUs will be visible from open space trails. Also concerned about owner-occupancy. State requires moratorium on owner-occupancy requirement only until 2025, but staff removed entirely. Staff will return to this issue later this year.

Lots of questions from Kou who wants to know where Palo Alto exceeds state requirements. Not a lot... Concerned about parking requirements and outreach to HOA's that can no longer ban ADUs. Maximum house sizes, corner lots, fence heights! Oh my!😩

2 public commenters, a developer and an ADU architect. Both urged the council to delay this a week to get the ordinance right, indicating that there are multiple inconsistencies with new state laws.

Fine underscores comments from public urging Palo Alto to simplify our code for ADUs. I missed something related to separating this item into 2 motions to have a catch-all to allow fixes to the ordinance where it's inconsistent with state law.
