DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 13

(SB 13) by exempting and/or reducing development impact fees to spur the development of
accessory dwelling units as a form of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, accessory dwelling units are identified as Residential Second Units in the
Atascadero Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community and to
ensure that adequate capital facilities are provided for the residents of the City and so that new
development in the City pays its fair share of the cost of providing these facilities, the levy of
development impact fees is necessary; and
WHEREAS, heretofore the City Council has adopted Ordinance No. 420 establishing its
policy as to the recovery of costs of such impacts and directing staff as to the methodology for
implementing said Ordinance; and
I IWHEREAS, because the City is eliminating and reducing development impact fees in
accordance with an adopted Senate Bill, this activity is not subject to the same noticing and
hearing requirements as a fee adoption or fee increase; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 13 was designed to incentivize the development of accessory
dwelling units and thereby requires that local jurisdictions exempt accessory dwelling units less
than 750 square feet in floor area from the payment of development impact fees; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 13 requires that local jurisdictions only collect impact fees that
are proportional to the primary residence when the accessory dwelling units are 750 square feet or
greater in size; and
WHEREAS, the revised impact fee schedule for Accessory Dwelling Units detailed in
Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference are consistent with the City of
Atascadero General Plan and the intent of Senate Bill 13, and _
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66018 does not apply to the act 6f•r2d_acing fees
to which a specific notice and public hearing requirement would othcrwisedp�F}; �gd
WHEREAS, the decrease to the amount of the development fees is not a "ptpject_' subject
to the California Environmental Quality Act because it is a funding-mech istrl having no
physical effect on the environment. 1

charged proportional impacts fees based on the City's adopted fee structure for primary
residential units.
