Accessory dwelling must be affordable. The affordability problem in Roseville and Rocklin is OUTRAGEOUS and very difficult to manage for a family of four even with two full-time working parents with good paying jobs! It's suffocating!!

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.

The cost and hurdles to construct affordable "for rent"" hosing are incredibly high anywhere in the County and State as a whole. However, solving that problem should not be a burden of or come at a cost to existing communities. if the County were to allow for accessory dwelling units, there needs to be careful analysis done on total number of units allowed per neighborhood and on the associated impacts thereof on the community BEFORE such legislation is passed.

I wouldn’t want a stranger living above my garage, do not think it would add property value to my home, and don’t need the extra income to manage my personal finances. I have no motivation to support dwelling units. Converting older homes in need of major work or refurbishment into duplexes may prove a good path. I do not believe one solution will fix what is needed, just as California electrical power needs are a balance so too should the low income housing be a balance.

as a family of 4, there is no way we can living in an accessory dwelling

I have lived in several accessory dwelling units over the years. A great way to get an affordable place - and generate income for owners.

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.

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.

Loosen the restrictions on granny units / secondary dwellings.

I am totally ignorant of these types of dwellings.

We are property owners interested and adding an accessory dwelling for rent on our property. We would have already completed this project, if the permit process was streamlined, and our city of Auburn's planning department representatives were more helpful when we inquired several years ago. And, yes financial incentives / loans etc will also help us help our community with creating more affordable housing options. thanks for asking

I think focusing on accessory dwellings is a good idea for providing more low cost housing

More cool micro apartments targeted towards younger childless adults wanting a walkable community would be a better idea. I don’t think accessory dwellings would be successful unless in a walkable neighborhood like downtown and old town. Pretty sure no young adult wants to live in a back house in West Park or Crocker Ranch.

As I live in a low density area (minimum 5 acre parcels), I am concerned about additional dwelling units increasing noise and traffic in our rural setting.

Making money available is a good idea. Cost of money at market rate and not subsidized. Market will determine rental rates. Allowing single family dwelling to be rented on short term basis creates a shortage of long term rentals. May need an ordinance to stop short term rentals or an ordinance to encourage long term rentals.

Provide nice visual examples of these dwellings that do not decrease overall property value

I think accessory dwelling is a bad idea unless it’s for a family member.

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.

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

no matter income level, people need to care for their dwelling as how they do so, affects all. Income does not preclude behavior....

It would be important to restrict the use of both the accessory dwelling unit and the main residential unit.

Traffic congestion is a serious problem getting worse in our area. Please consider traffic flow where ever you plan to incorporate such dwellings.

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

forcing low rent properties, accessory dwellings or housing for the homeless in the Roseville area will destroy the environment many of us have worked years to achieve. If Placer wants to see the home values decrease in the Roseville area - continue with efforts to force low cost housing into this area.

Accessory dwelling units should remain a choice. The rights of renters appear to outweigh the property owners rights, major disincentive to allow renters on personal property

I do not want accessory dwelling units in my neighborhood.

If I lived alone accessory dwelling units might be of interest.

In today’s RE world, the infrastructure isn’t there to support a doubling of sewer connections, potable water connections, natural gas, electrical, and wired communications. Accessory dwellings are neat and all, but many proposers completely forget that if every lot suddenly gained a second dwelling, every lot now requires a new connection. You cannot share things like sewers and water delivery.

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.

Low-cost rental units are vital. The way to get these is to limit vacation rentals so that those dwellings can become residential rentals.

I'd really like to see tiny homes included as ADUs and become more of a permanent dwelling.

Accessory dwelling units are great. We had one in another county. Deed restrictions are not advisable. Lower cost rentals are needed in Placer County. We have had a relative live with us who can't find an affordable rental.

Concerns on parking with more than one family in a planned community set for single dwellings and decreased accessibility for emergency vehicles if lot is crowded.

Why do the people who own homes in Placer County have to be responsible for new smaller dwellings for people. Make local governments regulate new construction ordinances for smaller home size instead of just putting in these extra large single family homes

Lower cost dwellings brings crimes and drugs into areas that don't have these problems, creating property values to lower and people not want to live in the neighborhoods.

I think this would be a great option for long term rentals. Now that most 2nd homes are listed on airbnb and vrbo, it would be great to see accessory dwellings units available for people who live here full time. As a local business owner of a marketing agency with an income of 60K per year, I am not able to buy a home, as the lowest priced homes are around 500k and more. I would like to see more restrictions on vacation rentals and more homes available for long term rentals. I have 2 employees that I pay $25 per hour and they can't even afford to live in Lake Tahoe or Truckee, they both live in Reno and commute to our office in Tahoe City. The only reason I am able to live here is because my parents own a 2nd home and let me live there. It is very sad to see Tahoe City in this state. One of my employees graduated from Sierra Nevada College and had to live in her car for 6 months until she could find a house to live in. Then she was evicted so the owner could list the house on airbnb.

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.

My son has been in the process of getting approval from the City of Auburn to start construction of an accessory swelling unit in Auburn. I has been in the "works" for over a year. Once this dwelling is completed I will move from a rental house in Lincoln to Auburn; if I am still alive.

Ours is very small for two people and our land lord would be thrilled to make it larger however, current regulations are very restricted on increasing square footage on a second dwelling. Please increase the amount of allowable square footage on a second dwelling to 1200 sq-ft or more!!!!!!

I believe that mother in law or accessory dwelling units are a viable option for relieving the housing crisis.

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.

Would love to know where Placer County stands on allowing more accessory dwellings, and additional housing of any kind on property that has the room and wants to help in this housing crisis. We need to see more affordable housing...we are struggling!

I’m open to the idea of modifying my property to include an accessory dwelling unit. But I would only be comfortable with having family or close friends live there.

This does not apply to me since I cannot provide an accessory dwelling to rent out and I have to live in my condominium since that is what I can currently afford.

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.

I would like to understand the rules regarding secondary dwellings such as tiny homes. Not just ones attached to the main house.

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.

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?

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.

I've lived in an accessory dwelling before and loved it. We need more low cost/affordable housing options in Placer County.

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

I think accessory dwelling units are necessary to allow people to be able to afford to live in Placer County.

Accessory dwelling units or granny units are a great concept as long as the owner has the right to select the tenant, as well as pets of the tenant, and no rent control is imposed upon the owner. Under these circumstances, if the owner has the right to select the tenant, as well as pets or no pets, and no rent control is imposed upon the owner, then numerous units will be constructed, and the sheer volume of these units will keep the rent down. This additional comment may not seem relevant to accessory dwelling units; however, it is extremely important: Someone must regain control over the shoddy construction performed (nation wide) by rape and run developers and contractors. Shoddy construction is a waste of our natural resources, transportation, and human effort. We have improved energy efficiency in homes, we must now focus on regaining quality & durability of home construction. If your office does not know how, or does not wish to address this issue, then please pass this co

In our subdivision, in Douglas Ranch there are only 2 of 99 homes that physically have a accessory dwelling units. I know 1 of the families rents his home accessory dwelling regularly - tough thing is parking the extra car which tends to block the road access

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.

I think accessory dwelling units are a great idea. With aging parents and boomerang kids it is needed. These items just need to be managed and kept up so as to not detract from the neighborhood or cause other neighbors to have issues or lowered property values due to units not kept up.

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.

I think there is a real need for these types of dwellings. I know many single women that are looking for a safe place to live that is affordable.

Multi Generational housing needs to be addressed as part of an affordable housing master plan. Many Seniors need affordable housing too. There is a benefit to insuring independence of seniors while living with families onsite. I have been looking to purchase a property that I can add a little dwelling for my mother. One of the main needs is a full kitchen. When looking for housing with detached or attached quarters...often they do not have a stove/full kitchen. It is my understanding that the cost of this is prohibitive and difficult for builders to include. Please consider making remodels easier/cost effective for existing owners and easier for developers/builders to include this as an option in new communities.

Accessory dwelling units in neighborhoods would lower the value of all of the homes in the neighborhood.

Allowing multiple additional dwelling units on marginally agricultural property - 10 acres and more.

Look why are you asking homeowners to solve your problem for low cost housing - we already put up with the homeless - the crime that is coming with it I mean- the city wants to constantly help the homeless but what about the homeowners who pay TAXES - I am all for helping people who want it - but those who don't then get out and move on - stop the crime. I also feel that putting dwellings in the backyards is going to increase noise and cause more street parking issues near our homes - thereby degrading our home quality of life!

Glad to see some easing of restrictions for these dwellings. I'm a senior & might eventually end up in an accessory dwelling on a relative's property in the future. It's good to see this concept made easier but want to be sure to protect existing property values. Unfortunately, rental to non-relatives sometimes impacts property value.

I myself a 73 year old woman, would love to live in a much smaller dwelling. My house is over 1,600 sq ft. I would like a 500 - 600 sq ft home, with a small yard. My choices are a mobile home park or an apartment. Neither appeals to me. Sound proof walls and floors would interest if I had to live in first floor apartment. I don't want to hear neighbors.

What about connecting utilities to an accessory dwelling?

Before you consider more housing options in the Tahoe basin, you should look at existing traffic problems. For example, the round-about in North Tahoe slow traffic down to a crawl as pedestrians can and do cross the streets anywhere and anytime. Someone should have made crossing lights or bridges so traffic can move. Also, please make sure that if people have accessory dwelling units they have room on their property for their tenants to park. One of the main reasons I would not like to promote this is from my experience with rentals in my neighborhood is that there are many “eye sores” and the landlords don’t seem to care as long as they get their money.

Placer County does not need more people or dwellings

I believe those who wish to build a second dwelling should be afforded the opportunity- WITHOUT goverment interference

I prefer High Density dwellings.

My property is governed by TRPA rules so building an accessory dwelling unit is not really practical

I'm not opposed to the idea; my issues are related to my house and lot size and HOA configuration. In general I think code-built units for rentals or in-law dwellings are a good idea that homeowners should be able to decide for themselves.
