17-1103 114.1Urgency Ordinance - Temp Reg of Tenant EvictionsCC- ReportREPORT - URGENCY ORDINANCE TEMPORARILY REGULATING TENANT EVICTIONS IN THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA BACKGROUND: The fires destroyed approximately 5% of the City’s housing stock. The sudden and substantial loss of residential units, both rental and owner-occupied, exacerbated the City’s already existing housing shortage and further disrupted an already unstable rental market. There is evidence that the rental market is further skewed by the presence of insurance proceeds, which may allow some households displaced by the fire to afford higher rents, while increasing the risk that other households may be displaced or priced out of the market. Staff of Housing and Community Services has received multiple reports that some landlords may be taking advantage of the exceptional circumstances to evict existing lower income tenants in order to rent, at significantly higher rates, to insured households displaced by the fires. The combination of the City’s extremely low vacancy rates and the sudden spike in rents may make it difficult, if not impossible, for lower income tenants to find affordacontinue  Action details Video Video

17-1100 115.2ADU impact fee reductionCC- Public HearingPUBLIC HEARING - ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT IMPACT FEE REDUCTION BACKGROUND: On December 5, 2017, the City Council introduced an ordinance amending the Santa Rosa Zoning Code to allow for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) in compliance with State law and in support of the City’s Housing Action Plan, and approved a resolution reducing Capital Facilities and Park Impact fees for new ADU’s. During the meeting, it was noted that the Southeast and Southwest Area Development Impact fees (SEADIF and SWADIF, respectively) pose a significant cost burden on development of ADU’s in the southeast and southwest areas of the City. The City is currently working on an impact fee program update, including potentially eliminating the SEADIF and SWADIF, however, the update will likely not be considered by Council until the early 2018. In the interest of time, Council directed staff to return with a resolution to reduce the SEADIF and SWADIF fees for new ADU’s immediately.
