The existing program has been in effect since January 2013 and will expire in January 2015 unless

Districts and Permitted Uses of Land), 8.40 (Accessory Structures and Uses Regulations), 8.64
(Home Occupations Regulations), 8.76 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations), and 8.116
(Zoning Clearance) and the creation of Chapter 8.65 (Cottage Food Operations) (PLPA-2014-00031)
Assembly Bill (AB) 1616 allows individuals to prepare and/or package certain foods in private-home
kitchens referred to as "cottage food operations." The enactment of AB 1616 provides cottage food
operators with the opportunity to operate a small scale food business from their private home and requires
that cities and counties allow them. However, AB 1616 also permits the adoption of local ordinances to
impose reasonable standards, restrictions and requirements concerning spacing and concentration, traffic
control, parking and noise control. AB 1616 also requires that cottage food operators be registered or
permitted by the local environmental health agency before commencing business. Staff is proposing that
the Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow cottage food operations to be permitted by-right in residential
areas subject to certain standards appropriate for a home based business and consistent with State law.
Minor amendments to the existing Home Occupations Regulations are also proposed for clarity and
internal consistency. At the November 18, 2014 City Council Meeting, the City Council waived the
reading and introduced an Ordinance adopting the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments. The City
Council is being asked to waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance approving the Amendments.
