BoardBurbank City Council Regular Meeting
The council held a study session to review updates to the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance in light of new state laws and guidelines from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Staff presented four options for amending the city's ordinance to achieve compliance while addressing local concerns about R1H and high fire hazard severity zones. The discussion focused on how state-mandated ADU requirements impact the number of units allowed on single-family lots, the potential for residential density increases, and comparisons between ADU development and SB9 projects.
