dwelling, what the safeguards are to ensure that the accessory unit does not become a rental <br /> duplex, what the enforcement mechanisms are, if garages meet all requirements is a second <br /> story allowed on the gazage as an accessory unit, if gazage is converted to living space, what <br /> the requirements aze for converted space, questioned how we are measuring up with the <br /> ABAG housing element requirement and how this ordinance might assist this goal, and <br /> clarification of the amnesty period provision. <br /> Pub[ic Comment: <br /> Ed Towle thanked Council for answering most of his questions and athe fact that on street <br /> parking is not a provision. To keep with integrity of an R-1 zoned neighborhood, he stated <br /> he thought the size should be limited to the present size of 640 square feet and also include <br /> a minimum size. <br /> Bob Diaz asked about an approval timeframe for a hardship case and expressed concern <br /> about enforcement of parking requirements. <br /> Council Member Howard congratulated Mr. Diaz for being awazded "Crossing Guard of the <br /> Year." <br /> Kathleen Mahany thanked staff for a needed forward approach. She also questioned why <br /> there is no penalty for not parking in garages and to look at the option of allowing two <br /> bedrooms. <br /> Pete Hughes recommended eliminating the requirement for owner occupancy of property <br /> with accessory dwelling units except in R-1 zoned pazcels, eliminate the covered pazking <br /> requirement for accessory units, grandfather garage conversions that meet moderate health <br /> and safety standards and rela�c off street parking restrictions such as distance from the street <br /> and side property lines. <br /> Marsha Rea spoke in strong support of the proposal and pointed out the strong need for <br /> rental housing. She distributed a copy of a publication entitled, "Locked Out". She urged <br /> approval of the project and commended staff for the forward approach. <br /> Paul Cohen, La Raza Legal, stated that the ordinance addressed all but the interest of the <br /> residents of the illegal secondary units that will fall under amnesty or deemed unlawful.

Another concern he <br /> raised was in cases of a common heating or water source that could pose potential service <br /> issues. <br /> Robert Johnson requested clarification of the amnesty period. <br /> M/S Ira/Howard to close the public hearing.
