6th Cycle Program 1.8: Monitor the production of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) to determine if they are being rented and, if so, determine their rent levels. Per the City’s updated ADU ordinance (2021), all ADUs must be registered in the City’s monitoring program to determine rent levels of the ADUs being created. If it is determined that rent levels are exceeding those projected in the inventory or that ADU production is not keeping pace with Housing Element projections, the City will study and implement additional measures to encourage more production of, and affordability among, ADUs, such as fee waivers or reductions in exchange for deedrestricting a unit. 93 ADUs Monitor annually (by April 1 of each year); if ADU targets are not being met (i.e., 11.5 ADUs permitted on an annual average) by January 2025, review and revise efforts to increase ADU construction (e.g., fee waivers, etc.) by July 2025 pending results of monitoring. The City’s action shall be commensurate with the level of shortfall from construction targets (i.e., if shortfall is significant, less than 80 percent of target, a rezoning action may be required, if shortfall is slight, 80 percent of target or greater, additional incentives may be appropriate). Review will occur every two years thereafter (i.e., January 2027 and January 2029) with action implemented within six months if targets are not being met as described above (July 2027 and July 2029). The City of Pleasanton is participating in and implementing the Alameda County-wide ADU affordability survey to gather more data on ADU rent levels. Building permits were issued for 10 ADUs in 2023; 102 ADUs are included as part of residential project applications that were submitted in 2023. Building permits were issued for 31 ADUs in 2024.
