Ms. Holder stated the City had submitted the Local Coastal Plan to

submittal was incomplete. The City subsequently submitted
additional information and the Coastal Commission formally accepted
the City's LCP submittal as complete on June 2, 1994.
Ms. Holder stated that the City's LCP was scheduled for
consideration by the California Coastal Commission at the November

Status ReDort on the Bousinq Accessory Unit Proqram.
Planning Technician Durand gave an update on the Affordable Housing
Accessory Unit Program.
Mr. Durand stated that in May, 1993, the Council had adopted
Ordinance 93-07 which modified zoning standards for accessory
units. The new ordinance allowed an accessory unit to be
constructed on property in a single-family residential zone or
converted from an existing single- family residence. Since the
revised standards had become effective, there had been 17 building
permit applications for new accessory units. Of those, six
projects had been completed, four were under construction while the
remaining seven were in the plan-checking process.
Mr. Durand said regarding the Housing Certification Program, 40
applications had been received, 20 applications had been processed
and two had completed the process.
