Subject:FW: ADU Laws
From: Jennifer Griffin <grenna5000@yahoo.com>

Subject: ADU Laws
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the

Dear City Council:
The ADU laws that were passed last year are very poorly written and are
going to present far more problems that they would ever solve.
They may have been written to try to work in San Francisco, but they are
a very ill fit for Santa Clara County.
I think the laws need to be thoroughly studied for loop hole issues and
compromising of local laws.
This level of statewide invocation of something as drastic as ADUs to over ride
all local jurisdiction laws and zoning needs to be voted on by all residents of
the state as this type of top down law affects everyone and wrecks havoc
across cities and their zoning laws.
If San Francisco wants to have these ADU bills be in their city only, then
that is great. But, please don't subject the rest of the state to laws such as
these that attempt to over ride all zoning and building codes that already
exist in other cities. The ADU bills seem to imply that all city and county
zoning that exists is stupid and that the ADU bills are so perfect that they
can replace them. Well, upon reading the ADU bills it becomes immediately
clear that the ADU bills are entirely capricious and make no sense at all.
And they expect us to replace our city laws with these ADU bills? I don't
think these bills would even work in San Francisco!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Grffin
