Questions asked and answered of staff included: how do you pick the
baseline number; how is the in-lieu offset fees determined; aren’t all new
irrigation systems already water efficient; when larger residential/
commercial properties remodel, aren’t they already required to be more
efficient; since so many residential units are being remodeled and are more
efficient, why penalize the accessory dwelling units by charging them the
50%; what affect might it have to have affordable housing at 100 percent,
and the fact that it might discourage developers; how many projects are
affected by the change in applicability date; have we taken away the project
manager’s ability to design a project, when the rules have changed; a basic
tenant improvement, the fee may be an additional burden on whether or not
they move forward with their improvement project; and, why not consider
creating ADU’s as their own units, new thresholds and a different
applicability date.
The City Attorney proposed new language to address exemptions for larger
and smaller projects.
Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to the
exemptions on large and small pending projects, and how this ordinance will
impact them, as well as the impact on accessory dwelling units.

EMERGENCY WAIVERS
FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
13.C. Request of Mayor Ted Winterer to review the request from
Community Corporation of Santa Monica to consider whether to adopt
emergency regulations waiving the City’s various affordable housing
eligibility requirements for victims of the Woolsey Fire, to permit them
priority and access to vacant affordable housing units in Santa Monica.
Considerations that could be evaluated by staff include but are not
limited to: duration of any emergency regulation, who should be
prioritized among the fire victims (families with children in Malibu-
based SMMUSD schools?), what class of units should be subject to this
program, length of tenancy and number of units to be offered as part of
this program, was presented.
Member of the public Tara Barauskas spoke in support of the recommended
action.
Motion by Councilmember Himmelrich, seconded by Councilmember
Vazquez, to approve the recommendation, with direction to explore options
to limit it to people that have children in the Santa Monica Malibu School
District and who are income qualified. The motion was approved by voice
vote, with Councilmembers O’Connor and McKeown absent.
PUBLIC INPUT: Members of the public Denise Barton, Robert Stone, John Monsen,
Johnathan Foster commented on various local issues.
ADJOURNMENT On order of the Mayor, the City Council meeting adjourned at 12:45 a.m. in
memory of Mary Agnes Hartzell.
