RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA The Rancho Santa Margarita Planning Commission met Wednesday to discuss state-mandated changes for adding Accessory Dwelling Units or granny flats to the city s municipal code. The city s current municipal code is out of date after California state law s new passage in 2020.
Last year, California changed the laws regarding property additions and separate living apartments. Each unit is complete with independent living facilities on the same property as a primary residence and repurposes space that is not currently living space. These additions are to be prohibited as short-term rental units, according to the new guidelines.
