Any sort of incentive offered for accessory dwelling units will be taken advantage of by families that want to have their in-laws (or similar situation) move in. Personally, I would not go down this path to aid in the house situation but I may take advantage of the incentives to build an accessory dwelling for my parents or my wife's parents.

You are opening a HUGE can of worms ... liabilities and angry people ... for the county and for any who buy in to your accessory dwelling ideas. Why make this so complex? Why doesn't the county build its own ... and govern its own ... and maintain its own, etc. Passing the buck? Your plan would make MUCH more sense for housing our booming senior population ... or others with physical needs.

Why not build low rise apartments, quads or duplexes?

The county cannot bamboozle home-owners with taking responsibility for closing the gaps sin house shortages since the county is solely and 100% fully responsible for the current state. Make it cheaper to apply for permits and decrease property taxes by 50% and be friendlier for developers to build houses. I absolutely abhor the bureaucracy the county is instilling into our lives. Get out of our lives and let us live free!

So much of Roseville is newer tract homes in HOA neighborhoods. None have rooms over a garage, most are on small lots with no room to build a separate unit, and there are HOA restrictions. The only option would be having the renter come in the same entrance, use the same kitchen and bathroom as the rest of the family, etc. - not very workable for most families.

There appears to be a lot of land out by the casino...assuming that is Lincoln. Incent Builders to build lower income units out there. I will never be for subsidizing lower income homes on the backs of tax payers. I am a Realtor and live in Rocklin. Rocklin is pricey because we have top-rated schools and lack of inventory. The Bay Area folks drive the prices up in our area. Thank you for asking!

If below-market rate housing is being considered, homeowners who choose to build an ADU should also get a tax credit, much like developers of multifamily housing properties in the state.

You should have asked me if I would use the space or build the space for an in-home caregiver. We are old and retired. We will need that soon!!

I think the building department needs an overhaul. The inspectors have too much power. Many just can’t seem to follow the rules and make them up as they go. I do not have first hand knowledge but family, friends and businesses provided experiences. Do your research. How many inspections have been completed without issue? How many complaints have been filed? The cost of property and permits are just not cost effective for middle class in Placer Co.

I think it's a nice concept but I think management of this would be an administrative and logistical nightmare, with cities/taxpayers left holding the bag for the inevitable bad players who are already making it worse for everyone. What about those who might build something only to turn it into AirBnB? How do you regulate/police that?That's already a huge housing issue in cities everywhere.

If an ADU is directly accessible from the road, I would like to be able to split the lot. (Either after building a detached ADU, or before building at all.) Currently, only extremely large lots can be split, but allowing any size lot to be split, as long as each portion stays above a reasonable size (for example, allowing anything over 5,000 sq ft) would allow for more infill.

Build more studio apartments, size them to be affordable to someone working a 40 hour week at minimum wage. Install a murphy bed in them.

City or County should build mlti-family units

When building any additional housing, must consider if the area can handle additional people, vehicles, traffic. What is the infrastructure like? Transportation, commute times, Fire and Police coverage, traffic, parking, work availability, shopping, evacuation routes, etc. How would it affect the existing neighborhood. Our homes are the most expensive purchase most will ever make. Additional housing units would negatively affect the reason why we purchased here.

Impact fees are cost prohibitive. A better public transit system would make living here more affordable. Change the fee structure for new builds to make modest-sized homes more profitable for developers.

Stop gifting developers affordable housing and build multitenant units where appropriately zoned. Build affordable mini communities such as agra farms where quality of life is high but rents or affordable housing accessible to buy. Sell all of the land Placer owns in Tahoe for affordable housing. Stop gifting developers in lieu fees. They need to build the 10% onsite when ammendment acquired.

The ways to make housing more affordable are to lower TAXES AND REGULATIONS. This state is full of over taxation and regulation that stifles home building!! Time to move out of CA

Why can’t our community build more nice Section 8 type apartments so struggling families can have a chance to get on their feet?

The high costs of permits, and extensive regulations make building affordable housing a joke.

Ease up the zoning restriction on building a second dwelling. I am currently trying to build one but running into problems because of building size restrictions.

I am concerned that Placer County is asking residents to consider placing accessory dwellings on private property. The County needs to step back and reassess this type of dwelling. Instead of building new homes throughout County, why not consider building units and renting them out. Ensure that the rent is reasonable. I see so many issues regarding building accessory dwellings in some one's backyard.

There is a lot of unoccupied land in placer county to build affordable housing. Instead of relying on current home owners to house people, build it and they will come.

I think this should be a part of what we make new developments build. Particularly the cottage on the property or that type. Not just for rentals but for inlaws or family members.

This is a simple problem. Allow homeowners to rent out long term, (not vacation rent), a room or build an ADU over a garage etc and WAIVE THE FEES. Offering low rate loans or other incentives are great too. Have the TTSA waive additional fees also, or at least for 5 years. Costs have to be reduced if you want affordable housing!

Yes! I have read about a hundred meetings to discuss the last meeting about the current mneeting to set the agenda for the next meeting about defining that there is no housing or low cost housing and their are never meetings about solutions.. Placer Planning paid a great load of tax ca[pital to a consultant company report telling that there was no housing and the many types of housing that was available, but it seen ms that Placer County has not figured out that Housing must have subdivided lots of which takes 3 years of heavy time and capital to survive plannings slow roll;. Therefore the bold idea of granny buildings investments by the house owner is the concept that cannot support the initial costand potential restrictions as an investment. Why is it ? Because homeless folks do not vote . Placer county has to put on their big boy pants and use the new treasury PROSPERITY ZONES law to create a total new City within a City for duplexes on standard size lots with ally and three garage

Offer a 0% Loan to build

I am opposed to building more housing in Roseville/County. Whether it be on an existing property or a completely new development. Roseville and Rocklin have always been a family community with a small town feel, it is losing that appeal. I have several renters in my neighborhood and the yards look horrible and those of us that take pride in our homes are suffering.

We don't need more accessory dwelling units in this county. We are building too many apartments buildings, homes and other dwellings in this area. There won't be enough water for all these residents. We need to build reservoirs and find more ways pump rain water back into ground first.

low cost rental is much needed in the area, not the 1million dollar homes and land that is being build around me now. Everyone who buys one of these, soon is selling and leaving as the monthly costs to be there and yearly taxes are more than a car payment.

If we are really serious about building low cost housing, we must reduce the costs of permits, expedite approvals and allow for more density. Tax payer subsidies are not the answer.

Not sure of permit or deed process, restrictions, cost of construction. Live on social security, not in my budget to build anything.

You should include what the average cost per square foot is to build in the Lake Tahoe area including permits. Most of us wouldn't be able to afford it, and it would take more years to re-coup the cost via rent than would make sense.

Make it easier and cheaper to build new housing units. Then let the contractors build them (within reason). Also under certain circumstances, allow garage conversions.

In Sun City where we live there is no space to build additional rooms.

IF accessory dwelling IS allowed, under the veil of housing shortages, then there must be deed restrictions; otherwise, this appears to be a sham to get by (aka work around) zoning, building codes and other codes that are meant to protect unsuspecting residents, buyers, renters, etc.

Most properties are not large enough to build extra unit, and parking is a huge problem, crowding the streets.

You can't build a dwelling if there's no room on the property!

I have a 950 sq foot 1/2 plex with a small courtyard, so can't build any accessory building. It was all I could afford in placer and have a child and dog live with me. My other would have been a trailer park but no dog or kid allowed. They are 55 and up with small dog.

I am 76 years of age and wouldn't mind building and renting a unit if I received financial help but would not like to be obligated for more than 5 years

Mental health, drug abuse care, a job, step by step direction to self care. Use existing buildings to house homeless. Separate cooperative, from uncooperative. Give the cooperative folks a measured pathway to personal well-being including medical, emotional and family reunification, existing housing. Uncooperative permanent lifetime care.

Why not build more multi-unit, multi-story complexes? There seems to be a lack of these in the Roseville area.

I would consider building a small dwelling unit, living in it, and renting out my 1400' condo to a family.

I’d love to see people be able to build tiny houses on their property and have the permitting process be less expansive and drawn out. I do t have space for one, but if I did I’d use it to build a small home that I could rent out or use for guests.

I don’t think the County should permit separate dwelling units as Shadow Rock Estates had restrictions on building envelopes when we originally built, and having a bunch of separate rental units would take away from the original community design restrictions that make Shadow Rock Estates in No. Auburn, so desirable.

These questions are for people that have acreage that could possible build a dwelling. But for people that live in town this is not an option.

Encourage real estate developers of multi family housing to build multi family housing through tax incentives. Do not subsidize housing or rent directly.

Ya way are builder not required to build low cost housing,before they are allow to build high cost housing ???? not enough kick back to the power to be ???

Builders should build apartments in areas of the county that make sense. As a home owner I don’t want my home to be different from the others. I don’t want to give up space for a renter and I do not want an apartment complex in my neighborhood.

We need to build more low income/affordable housing

I'm in favor of allowing these ideas in my community - the cost of housing is a challenge for our area. I just am not interested in taking on the project of building a unit or being a landlord myself.

Building affordable housing should be priority in Placer County. If it was, the fees associated with building wouldnt be so cost prohibitive! Instead, home prices are overinflated and only the rich people from the bay area will be the only ones able to afford living here. Is that what we want? A bunch of wealthy elitists and greed shuts everyone else out??

As the home builders continue to destroy nature and open space in SW placer county to build giant unaffordable homes, you want us to provide the needed housing? How about forcing the developers to do that? Many smaller homes could be built while leaving the trees and open space. But this would result in less tax money for the county and less money for the developers.

Change the zoning restrictions on building second units on acreage. Allow second and third dwellings on large plots (like 3+ acres). Override CC+Rs that prohibit ADUs/second dwellings.

I don’t believe in renting from large apartment buildings because it’s very your a number and the landlords don’t care about you only their bottom line. Also Very very bad experience with Huber property Management when I see a place that has anything to do with them I run away fast! They are bad people hurting our community and should be investigated.

We do not have the space (lot size) for additional building, The cost of converting to a 2 story building meeting all earthquake and safety standards is beyond reason.

Again the issue is NOT shortage of lower-cost housing, it's taxes! Cut taxes housing becomes affordable. Our infrastructure is already maxed, more homes will just compound the problems. Cut taxes and Fees, Raise wages, Build infrastructure, then talk about more roof tops.

This is a bad idea. Build apartment units where land permits the development. You can't build garage apartments on most of the properties in the areas because the original home layout and site plan won't accommodate it.

Deregulate. Don't come up with complicated, expensive uses of tax dollars; that's inefficient. Just remove barriers and allow builders to build whatever they want on the land they own. If you reduce permit and licensing fees, allow more dense construction if the market so desires; and get out of the way, they will build lower-cost housing units than the county would with its expensive "affordable housing" efforts.

How about focusing on promoting high density housing near freeway offramps and large retail areas. This would make transit options for commuting to Sacramento simpler. Accessory dwelling units should be easy to build, permitting should be streamlined, but I don't see them as the answer to large scale housing shortages.

Developers need to build smaller, more affordable units, like starter homes, studio and one bedroom apartments.

Incentive contractors to build multiple tiny home low cost construction units on parcels and require them to limit their profit to a certain percentage over cost to reduce the sale cost. Subsidize these units to the consumer using tax relief and/or down payment assistance programs. Only allow the sale of them to live in not rent.

Thoughts on an accessory dwelling in the county for people who has 1-2 acres? The problem: Apparently there is a requirement for a second septic system, as they at first were going to allow us to hook into our current system, but changed their mind. We don't have a large enough property for that. We were considering adding just a 1 bedroom accessory dwelling, but now unable to do this . A one bedroom only adds one or two people. Seems like this is going to cause anyone in the county to not be able to add a unit. We were hoping to use it to help people in need, whether friends or family members, who are getting out of bad situations, and not so much for rental income as we don't need the money. I think there needs to get some changes to help us build additional living quarters like you are implying we do.

Though not part of this survey, I'm nervous about ADUs because of the additional density and pressure it puts on neighborhoods that weren't initially zoned for more people/ parties- parking, noise, "stuff", traffic, etc... but I think thoughtful addition of ADUs could alleviate pressure on housing market. As an owner, I'd own build one if i had the option of making money on it...

If someone builds a house over a specified size they have to build an accessory dwelling that they must rent out to a full time resident. Rebates or incentives for people who rent out their houses to full time residents at a reasonable rent. Rebates or incentives for people who build reasonable size houses and sell them to locals at reasonable prices. permitting fees that get exponentially bigger, the bigger a property is that go to help locals buy houses. Deter builders from catering to the rich by imposing fees and taxes for building expensive and large properties. Scale down house sizes. Use the revenue to help locals buy houses.

We need the old guard of property owners in down town tahoe city to sell or leave so we can build some low income apartments... maybe on the golf course no one uses behind town?

I am strongly opposed to building additional units onto existing residences below certain size lots. That is, certainly not in established neighborhoods with lots under an acre. My concern is traffic and parking; cluttering up streets with too many cars.

I think ADU’s are a very wise investment in to the community. Plus the builders are building homes with in-law units.

These are great options for incentive to build affordable units. Let’s make this happen Placer County!

Any options to encourage new residence and secondary dwelling construction for a vacant parcel if both were rented? How about cash incentive to leverage assets to build additional units? How about low interest loan, including construction loan, to build the above primary and secondary?

plenty of properties in older housing areas of Roseville, that the land could be subdivided or sold for a second small homes to be build on the one original lot. alley ways could be improved with a small home facing the old alley ways.

I like the idea of apartments above retail or downtown office buildings.

I think you are headed in the right direction here. Permitting needs to be cut in pricing. More needs to be explained on the deed restrictions. I would think thousands of one bedroom apartments could be built above a garage (i.e. my Dad.) Put the access to the apartment via a stairway on the outside of the building. Two car garage can support bathroom, kitchen, small dining / living room and a good size bedroom. Easy 500 to 600 sq ft. Over coming permitting and construction is the issue. County could fund "construction companies " to cookie cut plans, permitting, pricing, etc. to keep pricing down. $800 plus a month rent - taxable income might make a $50k remodel worth while. If pricing climbs to $75k it's to hard to over come cash flow vs loan payoff before profit return starts. It all comes down to all the stakeholders; wages for construction worker, profit for Contractor, profit for home owner in X amount of years after loan paid off. Housing grants would go a long way to motivate.

Deed restrictions keep uniformity as well as keeping the neighborhood from becoming a congested mess of haphazard building and crap. Without restrictions I would think it difficult to have accessory dwellings being accepted by everyone around you.

Roseville is losing it's quaint, safe, smaller town status due to constant growth and too many people. It's ashame it has been ruined this way. Stop building so THEY WON'T come!!!!!

I own property with room to build a dwelling and would like to do so. We live paycheck to paycheck and have debt + mortgage.. I don't see how I could do it

Accessory dwellings seem like a terrible idea. They would create parking problems and mix income levels in neighborhoods that would cause social unrest. Better to build more high density units.

allowing property owners to build, rent, and manage small units on their property is a great way to spread low-income housing opportunities into higher income areas. NOBODY wants to live next to a low-income apartment complex that drags a neighborhood down and usually results in higher crime in the surrounding area. A single owner managing a tenant is less likely to tolerate a bad tenant than a large complex is. Streamline the permit process and lower fees. Provide an incentive for owners to do this and you will have more housing opportunities. If you increase fees and manage via "rent control" then you will lose in the long run.

Build cinder block stuidos - like storage unit.

What about re-purposing office buildings, shopping centers and other vacant buildings into low rent dwellings? Seems to me that there is a lot of those around in the area. I am truly fed up with my thousands of dollars in property taxes, etc., going to sustain people who don't want to work to pay their way or drug addicts that prefer to continue using drugs! I am currently a landlord and have been since 1982, and I can say for a fact, with one exception, that renters are slobs and sometimes do more damage to your property than you've received income from. It's a sad situation.

18% of the cost to build a home is due to regulations. Remove many of these.

There are so many empty buildings in Tahoe City. There are two empty office buildings on route 28 by Lake Forest. Those should be converted into studio apartments.

Please do not mess up our wonderful cointry environment and traffic with increased housing density. Build close to highway 80

List of all contractors willing to build these units or remodel existing square footage in the home to make it suitable for ADUs.

I don’t have the space to build such a unit on my property. I would if I had the space and could get a low- or no-interest loan

This whole idea is ridiculous...build some low income housing!!! You find plenty of money to grow the city with regular housing...where is water and infrastructure coming from to support extra residents!

Thanks for trying to make them easier to build/operate

I cannot get a permit on my property to build another unit.

No... I keep thinking about it as I look at all of my neighbors' large homes sitting empty 99% of the time... I don't have any short term ideas. I know the mountain housing council was working on it, I'm curious what the part-time owners have said. I guess Costa Hawkins prevents rent control options? Incentives to make long-term rental more appealing than vacation rentals? Not sure how tolerable it would be for permanent renters to move from one vacation rental to another month to month, but some kind of moving/storage service that could make that option easier... as a stopgap? For longer term, maybe start now to build a fund in which nonprofits / land trusts / the county can buy homes during the next recession and then deed-restrict them? Rent some at market rate to subsidize the affordable ones? A public plea / mailer to rarely-there homeowners? Shaming techniques??? :-)

Please hold evening event at Placer County Fairgrounds to explain what these ideas entail. PCF is also near where many nearby residents are eligible to build and may not know it. Thank you!

I don’t think most people could build accessory units on their property.

Let people build accessory units if they want to but do not use tax dollars to incentivize it. Let the free market work.

these are needed everywhere in our area, but local and regional restrictions on building and having renters in separate units on typical residential properties make it almost impossible now.

I LOVE my little cabin/ADU! Plus, I get to have a pet and I have people around without having a roommmate. We need more small housing stock for single, professional people in the area. It would also be awesome to have a little tiny house community where we could bring in one we have purchased and have sewer/water hookups. This would also allow us to build equity in SOMETHING instead of just throwing money away on rent.
