THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Adopted this Order on January 29 , 198-5' , by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Powers , Fanden , Schroder , McPeak, Torlakson
NOES: None
ABSENT: None -
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Granny Units
Board members commented on the need for affordable housing
and expressed an interest in secondary units or "granny units ."
They noted that there appears to be a negative reaction to building
granny units in established residential areas because of the
additional impact on an area' s resources , such as increased traffic ,
higher density, etc . Units of this type could provide housing for
aged parents or relativeswho would have the advantage of being close
to family members while still retaining an atmosphere of independence .
Supervisor Tom Powers recommended that the Director of
Planning work with the County Administrator in developing an agenda
for the Housing Planning Transportation Committee which will include
criteria for a public awareness program on the need for these secon-
dary units and the minimal impact they would have on neighborhoods
as opposed to building high density apartment complexes .
Board members being in agreement , IT IS ORDERED that the
recommendation of Supervisor is APPROVED .
