Vote: 5 - 0 Passed Adopt Ordinance No. 2985 Amending Title 18 Zoning Regulations Development Services Director Desatnik reported that Ordinance No. 2985 amending Title 18 (Zoning Regulations) was introduced at the July 1, 2025 City Council meeting and a full presentation was made at that time. The Ordinance would make various text amendments to the Zoning Regulations for the implementation of the 2021-2029 Housing Element's Work Program. As public comment, Andy Hoder said he was confused by some of the terminology used in the ordinance, and he asked for a definition of Low Barrier Navigation Centers. Director Desatnik explained that the term refers to centers that aim to reduce barriers to accessing shelter and services for the homeless population. This approach prioritizes getting individuals into housing as quickly as possible with supportive services and to help them secure permanent housing. Amanda Frye voiced concerns with the ordinance and said it was confusing and inconsistent throughout. She claimed that if adopted, Ordinance No. 2985 would breach the CC&Rs of Hilltop Estates, and she requested the item be tabled for further legal review. Director Desatnik clarified that this ordinance was consistent with state law. City Attorney Garcia confirmed that the ordinance had undergone a full legal review, and she pointed out that any concerns related to HOAs, ADUs and CC&Rs were a civil matter. CC_July 15, 2025 Page 2
