The Housing Action Package 2.0 (hereinafter referred to as “HAP 2.0”) is comprised of ten items that are separated into the following three parts:
Part 1: Encouraging New Homes – promotes the development of new homes by implementing recently adopted state law, revising existing regulations and affordable housing programs to encourage new homes on public land and for students.
Part 2: Fair Housing for All – strengthens regulations to further fair housing and promotes the development of new homes for families, including middle-income San Diegans.
Part 3: Thriving Neighborhoods – fortifies regulations, adds new language to reduce displacement caused by new development, and amends existing regulations that govern the continuation of incompatible uses near residential areas.
HAP 2.0 includes amending San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 14, Article 1, Division 3, Section 2 (Accessory Dwelling Units [ADUs] and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units) to modify the “ADU Bonus for Affordable ADUs” program to include “ADU Bonus for Accessible ADUs” to incentivize the development of Accessible ADUs by allowing one additional Accessible ADU to be permitted on a premises if a development includes (1) at least two ADUs set aside as affordable to very low, low, or moderate income households, (2) the Accessible ADU complies with the Accessibility requirements
in Chapter 11A of the California Building Code, (3) the Accessible ADU includes at least one accessible bathroom, at least one accessible kitchen, at least one accessible bedroom, and (4) the Accessible ADU is located on an accessible route, as defined by the California Building Code.
