(Ord. 2067 § 5 (Exh. A), 2017; Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.56.105 Accessory dwelling unit and junior accessory dwelling units.

A. Purpose and Findings.

1. The purpose of this section is to provide regulations for the establishment of accessory dwelling units in residential zones and to define an approval process for such accessory dwelling units consistent with Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22, or any successor statute. The intent of this section is to provide opportunities for more affordable housing in areas where adequate public facilities and services are available, and impacts upon the residential neighborhoods directly affected would be minimized. It is also the goal to provide development standards to ensure the orderly development of these units in appropriate areas of the City. It is the goal of the Council that accessory dwelling units be equitably distributed throughout the City.

2. The City of Coronado is located entirely within the Coastal Zone and the City’s Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan was certified by the California Coastal Commission in December of 1983. The City is an isolated dense community established in a tight “grid pattern” over 100 years ago and is bordered almost entirely by the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean, with access to the City being only from State Route 75 from the south or the Coronado Bay Bridge. The City has numerous coastal resources that attract over 2,000,000 annual visitors, including public beaches, the San Diego Bay, Glorietta Bay, and the Hotel del Coronado. The annual visitors, coupled with historic development patterns of the City has created a significant impact on the City’s limited parking supply in the Coastal Zone that would be exacerbated by allowing accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units to be built without certain parking requirements, including replacement parking, as it would shift residential parking from on-site to on-street. The City’s Certified Local Coastal Program mandates certain parking requirements to be met, including the number of off-street parking spaces for dwellings, to ensure and maintain public access to the coast. The California Coastal Act of 1976 is neither superseded nor in any way altered or lessened as provided for in Government Code Section 65852.2(I).

3. Junior and accessory dwelling units are residential uses consistent with the uses permitted in zones that allow for residential and mixed use residential development.

4. Junior and accessory dwelling units developed pursuant to the requirements of this subsection shall not cause the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located to exceed the allowable density otherwise permitted for the lot. Therefore, the accessory dwelling unit/junior accessory dwelling unit shall not count as units when calculating density of the lot.

B. Junior and accessory dwelling units shall be permitted in zones which allow residential and mixed use residential development and shall comply with the following standards:

1. A detached primary single-family dwelling unit shall exist or be proposed on the lot, or existing multifamily dwelling units shall exist on the lot.

2. The accessory dwelling unit may be created within the existing walls of a primary residence or accessory structure (an “interior” accessory unit), may be created by an addition attached to an existing or proposed primary residence (an “attached” accessory dwelling unit), or may be a new structure detached from the primary residence (a “detached” accessory dwelling unit). It must be located on the same lot as the existing or proposed single-family home or multifamily dwelling.

3. Any construction of a junior or accessory dwelling unit shall conform to all property development regulations of the zone in which the property is located including, but not limited to, height limits, setback, lot coverage, landscape, and floor area ratio (FAR), as well as all fire, health, safety and building provisions of this title, subject to the following exceptions:

a. No setback is required for an existing living area converted to a junior or accessory dwelling unit or for an existing accessory structure converted to an accessory dwelling unit, or for a new accessory dwelling unit constructed in the same location and built to the same dimensions as a legally approved existing structure. Verification of size and location of the existing and proposed structure by City staff requires pre- and post-construction surveys by a California licensed land surveyor.

b. For all other accessory dwelling units, a minimum setback of four feet, or the applicable setback for the zone district, whichever is less, is required from the rear and side property lines.

c. Limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, and size must permit at least an 800-square-foot detached or attached accessory dwelling unit 16 feet high with four-foot side and rear yards, if the proposed accessory dwelling unit is in compliance with all other development standards.

4. Proposed development projects that include a new single-family residence and an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit are required to comply with floor area ratio limits and other applicable development standards contained in the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

5. No more than one junior accessory dwelling unit or one accessory dwelling unit shall be permitted per single-family lot, except as permitted in subsection (C)(2) of this section.

6. For a junior or accessory dwelling unit that is contained within or attached to the primary dwelling, there shall be an independent exterior access.

7. The floor area of an attached or detached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 850 square feet for a studio or one bedroom or 1,000 square feet for a unit that contains more than one bedroom. No accessory dwelling unit may be smaller than the size required to allow an efficiency unit as defined in Section 17958.1 of the Health and Safety Code.

8. A new detached structure or an addition to an existing detached structure for an accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 16 feet in height measured from preexisting grade or finished grade, whichever is lower, to the highest point of the roof. Accessory dwelling units attached to the primary dwelling are subject to the height requirements of the primary dwelling.

9. The junior and accessory dwelling unit shall not be owned, sold, transferred, or otherwise conveyed sold separate from the primary residence.

10. For applications received after January 1, 2025, one of the dwellings on the lot must be the bona fide principal residence of at least one legal owner of the lot containing the dwelling, as evidenced at the time of approval of the accessory dwelling unit by appropriate documents of title and residency. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide evidence that a covenant has been recorded stating that one of the dwelling units on the lot shall remain owner occupied.

11. Junior and accessory dwelling units shall only be used for rentals of terms of six consecutive months or more.

12. The following provisions are applicable to junior accessory dwelling units:

a. A junior accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 500 square feet in size and shall contain at least an efficiency kitchen which includes cooking appliances (i.e., stove, oven, and microwave), refrigerator, a sink with garbage disposal, and a food preparation counter and storage cabinets that are of reasonable size in relation to the junior accessory dwelling unit.

b. The junior accessory dwelling unit shall include access to sanitation facilities.

c. One of the dwellings on the lot must be the bona fide principal residence of at least one legal owner of the lot, as evidenced at the time of approval and upon demand thereafter of the junior accessory dwelling unit by appropriate documents of title and residency.

d. Prior to issuance of a building permit for a junior accessory dwelling unit, the owner shall record a covenant in a form prescribed by the City Attorney, which shall run with the land and provide for the following:

i. A prohibition on the separate ownership, sale, transfer, or other conveyance of the junior accessory dwelling unit separate from the sale of the single-family residence;

ii. A restriction on the size and attributes of the junior accessory dwelling unit consistent with this section;

iii. A prohibition against renting the junior accessory dwelling unit for fewer than six consecutive months; and

iv. A requirement that either the primary residence or the junior accessory dwelling unit be the owner’s bona fide principal residence, unless the owner is a governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.

13. To ensure compliance with the provisions of the California Coastal Act of 1976 and the approved Land Use Plan of the City’s Certified Local Coastal Program, the following parking requirements apply:

a. A maximum of one parking space shall be required for each accessory dwelling unit.

b. No additional parking is required for a junior accessory dwelling unit.

c. When additional parking is required for an ADU, the parking may be provided as tandem parking, may be covered or uncovered, and may be located in side and rear yard setback areas. ADU parking within the front yard setback area is limited to within an existing driveway.

d. If an ADU or JADU replaces an existing garage or other required parking, replacement spaces shall be provided. When required parking is removed in conjunction with the establishment of an ADU, required replacement spaces may be covered or uncovered and may be located within side and rear yard setback areas. Parking within the front yard setback area is limited to within an existing driveway.

14. Design. A junior or accessory dwelling unit, whether attached or detached, shall utilize the same architectural style, exterior materials, and colors as the existing or proposed primary dwelling, and the quality of the materials shall be the same or exceed that of the primary dwelling.

15. Except as provided in subsection (B)(16) of this section, accessory dwelling units shall provide a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility. The connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed accessory dwelling unit, based upon either its size in square feet or the number of its plumbing fixtures, upon the water or sewer system; provided, however, that this fee or charge shall not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service. A submeter may be allowed to meet this requirement.

16. The installation of a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility shall not be required, and a related connection fee or capacity charge shall not be imposed for the following:

a. Junior accessory dwelling unit.

b. Accessory dwelling unit meeting the requirements of subsection (C)(1) of this section.

17. Accessory dwelling units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence.

18. No impact fees may be imposed on a junior or accessory dwelling unit that is less than 750 square feet in size. For purposes of this section, “impact fees” include the fees specified in Sections 66000 and 66477 of the Government Code, but do not include utility connection fees or capacity charges. For accessory dwelling units that have a floor area of 750 square feet or more, impact fees shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.

C. The following types of accessory dwelling units are required to be permitted. Other accessory dwelling units, including attached and detached accessory dwelling units, are also permitted if they conform to the requirements of subsection B of this section:

(Ord. 2062 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016)

86.56.180 Two-unit residential developments in single-family zones.

A. Purpose and Findings.

1. The purpose of this section is to provide regulations for the establishment of two-unit residential developments in single-family residential zones and to define an approval process for such two-unit residential developments consistent with Government Code Section 65852.21, or any successor statute. The intent of this section is to provide opportunities for more housing in existing single-family residential zones as mandated by State law. It is also the goal to provide development standards to ensure the orderly development of these units in appropriate areas of the City.

2. The City of Coronado is located entirely within the Coastal Zone and the City’s Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan was certified by the California Coastal Commission in December of 1983. The City is an isolated dense community established in a tight “grid pattern” over 100 years ago and is bordered almost entirely by the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean, with access to the City being only from State Route 75 from the south or the Coronado Bay Bridge. The City has numerous coastal resources that attract over 2,000,000 annual visitors, including public beaches, the San Diego Bay, Glorietta Bay, and the Hotel del Coronado. The annual visitors, coupled with historic development patterns of the City, have created a significant impact on the City’s limited parking supply in the Coastal Zone that would be exacerbated by allowing two-unit residential developments to be built without certain parking requirements, as it would shift residential parking from on site to on street. The City’s Certified Local Coastal Program mandates certain parking requirements to be met, including the number of off-street parking spaces for dwellings, to ensure and maintain public access to the coast. The California Coastal Act of 1976 is neither superseded nor in any way altered or lessened as provided for in Government Code Section 65852.21(k), except that the City shall not be required to hold public hearings for coastal development permit applications for a two-unit residential development pursuant to this section.

3. Two-unit residential developments are residential uses consistent with the uses permitted in zones that allow for single-family residential development.

4. Government Code Section 65852.21 preempts the density limitations established by the General Plan and the underlying zones in which two-unit residential developments created pursuant to the requirements of this subsection are permitted. Incompatibility with the City’s density limitations shall not provide a basis to deny a two-unit residential development that otherwise conforms to the requirements of this section.

B. A two-unit residential development containing no more than two residential units within a single-family residential zone shall be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing, if the proposed housing meets all of the standards set forth below. For purposes of this section, a two-unit residential development contains two residential units if the development proposes two new units or if it proposes to add one new unit to one existing unit.

1. If a parcel includes an existing single-family home, one additional unit of not more than 800 square feet may be developed pursuant to this section. No more than 25 percent of the existing exterior structural walls shall be demolished to create the two-unit residential development, unless the existing single-family home has not been occupied by a tenant in the last three years.

2. If a parcel does not include an existing single-family home, or if an existing single-family home is proposed to be demolished in connection with the creation of a two-unit residential development, two units of not more than 800 square feet each may be developed pursuant to this section.

3. Each unit in a two-unit residential development shall be separated by a distance of at least 10 feet from any other structure on the parcel; however, units may be adjacent or connected if the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.

4. No more than four units – including primary dwelling units, accessory dwelling units, and/or junior accessory dwelling units in any combination – may be created on a parcel. If a parcel was created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and includes an existing or proposed two-unit development, then no accessory dwelling units or junior accessory dwelling units are permitted on the parcel. If a parcel was not created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and includes an existing or proposed two-unit development, then one accessory dwelling unit may be developed for each primary dwelling unit on the parcel. If a parcel was created subject to the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC and includes one primary dwelling unit only, then one accessory dwelling unit or one junior accessory dwelling unit for each primary dwelling unit is permitted.

C. A two-unit residential development shall be prohibited in each of the following circumstances:

1. The two-unit residential development would require demolition or alteration of any of the following types of housing:

a. Housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income.

b. Housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power.

c. Housing that has been occupied by a tenant in the last three years. An applicant for a two-unit residential development must demonstrate whether any existing housing on the parcel was owner occupied or vacant to Director’s satisfaction.

2. The parcel subject to the proposed housing development is a parcel on which an owner of residential real property has exercised the owner’s rights under Government Code Section 7060 et seq. to withdraw accommodations from rent or lease within 15 years before the date that the development proponent submits an application.

3. The parcel subject to the proposed housing development is located within a historic district or property included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1, or within a site that is designated or listed as a City or County landmark or historic property or district pursuant to a City or County ordinance.

4. If the two-unit residential development is on a parcel that does not meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65852.21(a)(2) or any successor provision thereof.

5. If the two-unit residential development would cause there to be more than four total units – including primary dwelling units, accessory dwelling units, and/or junior accessory dwelling units – on any single parcel or on any two parcels that were created using the urban lot split subdivision provisions of Chapter 82.68 CMC.

6. If the parcel includes an existing or proposed carriage house or habitable unit, as defined in Chapter 86.04 CMC, other than a primary dwelling unit, accessory dwelling unit, and/or a junior accessory dwelling unit.

D. Any construction of a two-unit residential development shall conform to all property development regulations of the zone in which the property is located including, but not limited to, height limits, stories, setback, lot coverage, landscape, and floor area ratio (FAR), as well as all fire, health, safety and building provisions of this title, subject to the following exceptions:

1. No setback shall be required for an existing structure or a structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure. Verification of size and location of the existing and proposed structure by City staff requires the applicant to provide pre- and post-construction surveys by a California licensed land surveyor to the City’s satisfaction.

2. For all other dwelling units proposed in connection with a two-unit residential development, a minimum setback of four feet, or the applicable setback for the zone district, whichever is less, is required from the rear and side property lines.

3. Limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, and size must permit two units of 800 square feet in connection with a two-unit residential development. Any waivers or reductions of development standards shall be the minimum waiver or reduction necessary to avoid physically precluding two units of 800 square feet. No waivers or reductions to applicable requirements regarding stories, off-street parking, or front yard setbacks shall be approved unless the applicant demonstrates to the Director’s satisfaction that there is no other way to physically accommodate two 800-square-foot units on the site.

4. New dwelling units proposed in connection with a two-unit residential development shall not exceed 16 feet and one story in height.

5. New dwelling units proposed in connection with a two-unit residential development shall demonstrate compliance with any applicable Airport Land Use Commission requirements and/or restrictions on density.

6. All dwelling units created in connection with a two-unit residential development shall have independent exterior access.

7. For applications that do not involve an urban lot split subdivision pursuant to Chapter 82.68 CMC, one of the dwellings on the lot must be the bona fide principal residence of at least one legal owner of the lot containing the dwelling, as evidenced at the time of approval of the two-unit residential development by appropriate documents of title and residency. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide evidence that a covenant has been recorded stating that one of the dwelling units on the lot shall remain owner occupied.

8. Two-unit residential developments shall only be used for rentals of terms of longer than thirty days.

9. To ensure compliance with the provisions of the California Coastal Act of 1976 and the approved Land Use Plan of the City’s Certified Local Coastal Program, the following parking requirements apply:

a. Parking spaces for new units shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 86.58 CMC.

b. If a two-unit residential development replaces an existing garage or other required parking, replacement spaces shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the underlying zone.

10. Design. When a two-unit residential development dwelling unit is proposed on a parcel with an existing single-family dwelling unit, the new unit shall utilize the same exterior materials and colors as the existing dwelling unit.

11. Two-unit residential developments shall provide a new or separate utility connection directly between each dwelling unit and the utility. The connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge.

12. Two-unit residential developments shall be required to provide fire sprinklers.

E. Applications for two-unit residential developments conforming to the requirements of this section shall be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing by the Director of Community Development. Incomplete applications will be returned with an explanation of what additional information is required.

F. A proposed two-unit residential development may be denied if the Director of Community Development makes a written finding, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined and determined in Section 65589.5(d)(2) of the Government Code, upon public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.

G. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for a two-unit residential development dwelling unit, the property owner shall record a covenant with the County Recorder’s Office, the form and content of which is satisfactory to the City Attorney. The covenant shall notify future owners of the owner occupancy requirements, the approved size and attributes of the units, and minimum rental period restrictions. The covenant shall also reflect the number of units approved and provide that no more than four total units may be created on any single parcel or on any two parcels created using urban lot split subdivision procedures. If an urban lot split subdivision was approved, the covenant shall provide that no variances shall be permitted other than those code deviations expressly allowed by this chapter. This covenant shall remain in effect so long as a two-unit residential development exists on the parcel.

H. In cases of conflict between this section and any other provision of this title, the provisions of this section shall prevail. To the extent that any provision of this section is in conflict with State law, the applicable provision of State law shall control, but all other provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect.
