Yes. State Mandated ADU & JADU Law s effective 1/2017. Check out Eastside’s Santa Ynez St at Clifton St off Salinas (at base of Cleveland School where crossing guard is located.) Owner has rented that streamline trailer for last 4 -5 years for supposedly $1000/mo with no bath-plumbing. Historically, pre ADU Law, City would turn a blind eye depending on location, and neighborhood tolerance.
Now – Trailers and pre-fabs can be legalized under CA State Mandate with an ADU or Jr ADU Permit. Home Depot is coming out with a CA approved ADU to be ‘done in a day’ . It’s a tiny house housie kit; Tuff Shed coming out w a installed in a day unit also, according to some reports. These units count towards each City & County meeting their mandated CA State quotas for provision of affordable housing so expect to see more on properties throughout the state including in high and extreme high fire areas. Yep – possibly 2700 more resident units on the Riviera. The only possible ways for a neighborhood to avoid are via historical landmark restrictions or Neighborhood adoption of CC& Rs (Like at Birnam Woods CC). CA Leg Counsel has yet to rule on CC&Rs so get CC&Rs in place quickly if your neighborhood does not want JADU or ADUs on every lot. CA will push density limits w 55 gal per lot water allocation, and pending approval of new tax on drinking water (possibly this week). What CA needs is 20Milluon more overstays, more Foreign students, and illegal entry tresspassers to add to our 40Million. In 1950, CA had 10 Million. Our Madter Plan maxs our at 30M. WELCOME more people here with your November vote for Salud.
Factotum is right: our chosen group-think politicians are great for taking control. 8-story housing within a 1/4 mile of any bus stop will change upper State St. And many neighborhoods. There is and will be no push back on CA State mandates until fear-filled commoners risk all to push back . SB Locals WANT MORE in SB City and County. WE ELECT Hannah Beth, Monique, Sups Greg Hart-Janet Wolfe-Das Williams- Jane Hartman; Mayor Murillo and the Dem controlled socialist majority seated on Council because WE WANT more people to live in our resource rich, environmentally protected, pristine, sparsely populated City and County. Govt workers, teachers, law enforcement, Fire, our hospitals all depend on fill-rates. to collect State & Federal monies. We are people short. With the freedom seeking American middle class leaving, where can we get more people to use our many taxpayer provided services to support these tax-paid and pensioned workers? We’ve a budget surplus and no interest in paying debts or building reserve funds. Please vote again this November for MORE and higher taxes, open borders, less water, and for CA autonomy and exceptionalism including from the restrictions of the US Constitution. Do not save CA for future generations, take all that you can now.
There is no such thing as “Sacramento”; only our own collected elected officials that we send to Sacramento to do our bidding. Voters locally supported both Monique Limon and Hannah-Beth Jackson to do this to us. Want more of the same? Keep re-electing them, or their hand-picked successors. This is what “progressive” policies look like.
I’m not sure if the OP was asking about mobile homes but there are a number of prefab-ed homes around town… essentially 40ft boxes stacked on top of each other in pleasing ways, complete with indoor plumbing, utilities and running water.
