14.    ADOPTION OF AN UNCODIFIED INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE AND AN UNCODIFIED DELAYED EFFECTUATION ORDINANCE RELATED
         TO THE ABUNDANT AND AFFORDABLE HOMES NEAR TRANSIT ACT (SENATE BILL 79)
(Planning Dept.)

         which explicitly states that an ordinance adopted to implement the provisions of SB 79 shall not be considered a project under Division 13 (commencing with §21000) of the Public Resources Code;

          (2)
        
Adopt an Uncodified Interim Urgency Ordinance to delay implementation of SB 79 due to the threat to public health, safety, or welfare for the following sites:
                       a.
   
Within all six Transit Oriented Development Zones (TOD Zones within ½-mile of Metro A Line stations):
                                         
i.   
Sites with historic resources designated as of January 1, 2025, in a local register.
                       b.
   
Within the Memorial Park, Del Mar, and Lake TOD zones:
                                         
i.   
Sites with historic resources designated as of January 1, 2025 on the state register (this would include sites designated at the national level as they are protected together).
                                        
ii.   
Sites zoned Multi-Family Residential (RM-12, -16, -32, and -48) and Single-Family Residential (RS).
                                       
iii.   
Sites located within specific plan areas that have a density of 48 du/ac or less.
          (3)
        
Adopt an Uncodified Delayed Effectuation Ordinance to delay implementation of SB 79 for the same sites outlined in recommendation #2 above; and
          (4)
        
Adopt the Findings for the Zoning Code Amendment in Attachment A of the agenda report.
          Recommendation of the Housing, Homelessness, and Planning Committee
: On May 7, 2026, staff presented background information and options to implement
         SB 79 to the Housing, Homelessness, and Planning Committee (HHPC). Staff outlined recommendations to implement Option 2 (explained in the agenda report),
         adopting an Uncodified Delayed Effectuation Ordinance temporarily exempting certain sites, as outlined in Recommendation No. 2 on page 1 of the agenda report, from the provisions of SB 79.
        
The Committee was supportive of the staff recommendation of Option 2, including excluding RS zones where allowed by the bill. The Committee directed staff to provide the
         following variations of the option related to the RM zones:
 
                     *   Not delaying implementation to any RM zones;
                     *   Only delaying to RM-12 and RM-16 zones;
                     *   Delaying to al RM zones
        
The Committee also directed the City Attorney to see if an Interim Urgency Ordinance can be adopted, which would give the Council additional time (if needed) for review
         and ensure the Ordinance is effective before SB 79 becomes effective on July 1, 2026.
         The City Attorney subsequently confirmed an Uncodified Interim Urgency Ordinance could be considered.

         Recommendation of the Planning Commission
: On May 13, 2026, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Uncodified Interim Urgency Ordinance and
         Uncodified Delayed Effectuation Ordinance to implement Option 2 temporarily exempting certain sites and the variations to the option related to the RM zones,
         as requested by the HHPC. The Planning Commission recommended, by a vote of 5-1 (with two absences and one recusal due to conflict of interest), that the
         City Council approve the staff recommendation that was originally presented to the HHPC (
outlined in Recommendation No. 2 on page 1 of the agenda report)
         which would include all of the RM zones
. The Planning Commission also asked staff to return with future discussions on preparing a TODAP and was generally supportive of a TODAP.
         (To be discussed and considered concurrently with Item Nos. 16 & 17, including for public comment purposes.)
