Home Hardening | CAL FIRE
Ensure the accessory building door is not facing your home.
Create a 10 feet ember-resistant zone around the accessory building.
Upgrade the accessory building with noncombustible and ignition-resistant materials. 
If possible, relocate your accessory building. Be sure when relocating not to move it next to other combustibles or next to a neighboring residence. 
Metal sheds or sheds designed with ignition-resistant construction are a better alternative than combustible sheds.

Recommendations for combustible sheds are:

50 feet away if larger than 120 ft2 
40 feet away if between 120 to 64 ft2
30 feet away if smaller than 64 ft2

Recommendations for Chapter 7A compliant sheds are:

10 feet for noncombustible steel sheds less than 64 ft2
10 feet for combustible sheds less than 16ft 2 10 feet away
15 feet for combustible sheds between 20 ft2 and 64 ft2 


 Miscellaneous Structures
 

Reduce additional fuel sources. Large often combustible items like gazebos, RV’s, boats, and playground equipment are often forgotten fuel sources that may need to be hardened.
How are miscellaneous structures vulnerable?

Arbors, pergolas, playground equipment, gazebos, chicken coops, and other structures can act as a fuel source if combustible. 
Boats, RVs, and vehicles are especially vulnerable due to them often being stored adjacent to residences.
Small combustibles like door mats, furniture cushions and covers, and planter boxes are often places where embers can smolder.

What to do about miscellaneous structures

Create a 0–5-foot ember-resistant zone around large combustibles miscellaneous structures.
Upgrade miscellaneous structures by using construction materials that are noncombustible or ignition resistant. 
Relocate your miscellaneous structure. Be sure when relocating a combustible miscellaneous structure, to not move it next to other combustibles or next to a neighboring residence. The recommended distance for structures larger than 120 ft2 is 50 feet from your home.
Remove combustible dilapidated structures or ones that are no longer in use.

Tenants | New York State Attorney General
Such tenant organizers are also permitted to ask tenants for contact information to address issues in the building which may relate to such issues as repairs or the landlord’s rent setting policies.
Tenant meetings in common areas of a building or property are permitted by law. Items necessary for the meeting, such as a table and chairs, may be placed in common areas for the meeting.
Law enforcement should not make determinations concerning whether a meeting is a fire hazard or other determinations outside their expertise.
Landlords who use force or otherwise attempt to disperse lawful tenant meetings may violate penal laws such as disorderly conduct, menacing, aggravated harassment, or assault. Law enforcement should use their discretion in enforcing these, and other appropriate penal laws to preserve the peace when tenants are exercising their rights under the Real Property Law.

The Office of the New York State Attorney General is available to assist local law enforcement departments in developing guidance for their officers when responding to tenant meetings and organizing activities.

State Counsel Division | New York State Attorney General
The sex offender can waive a jury trial and can opt to have the case heard by only the judge.

 

What is a "mental abnormality?"

The law defines mental abnormality as a condition or disease that affects a person’s capacity in a way that predisposes the individual to commit sex offenses and that causes that person to have serious difficulty in controlling that behavior.

 

What happens if the jury finds that the sex offender suffers from a mental abnormality?

The judge has only two options when a mental abnormality is found. The judge must decide whether the sex offender is dangerous so as to be confined, or may release the offender to strict and intensive supervision and treatment (SIST) under the supervision of the Division of Parole.

 

What is a "dangerous sex offender requiring confinement?"

A dangerous sex offender requiring confinement is a person who suffers from a mental abnormality involving such a strong predisposition to commit sex offenses, and such an inability to control behavior, that the person is likely to be a danger to others and commit sex offenses if not confined to a secure treatment facility under the supervision of the OMH.
There are two secure treatment facilities under the supervision of OMH:

Central New York Psychiatric Center in Marcy, NY
St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg, NY

 

What is "strict and intensive supervision and treatment (SIST)?"

Under the supervision of the Division of Parole, the individual must submit to sex offender treatment and other conditions. Conditions could include GPS monitoring, no contact with victims, polygraph monitoring, and other conditions ordered by the court. Each case is examined on an individual basis and the offender's treatment plan is tailored to that individual's case. Strict and intensive supervision is intended only for those individuals who can safely live in the community. For many of these people, strict and intensive supervision will be imposed only after they have served their time in prison and are ready to be released or have completed their sentence of parole.

 

How long does a person remain under civil management?

Pursuant to Article 10, a sex offender placed in an OMH secure treatment facility is entitled to an annual review of the order of confinement.
The 2022-23 Budget: The Governor’s Homelessness Plan
Of the total funds, 75 percent will be available for capital expansion projects to acquire, construct, and rehabilitate facilities. The remaining 25 percent will be available (through a noncompetitive allocation to counties and tribes, separate from the RFA) to preserve facilities that serve the prioritized populations. The preservation funding will include $55 million for a capitalized operating subsidy reserve—for facilities running operating deficits—for use up to five years. 
Regional Approach With Set‑Asides. DSS defined seven CCE funding regions, with regional allocations to be determined by factors such as distribution of adult and senior care facilities, homelessness counts, and development costs. DSS also determined a few funding set‑asides, such as 5 percent for tribes and 8 percent for small counties. 
Matching Funds. Applicants will be required to provide matching funds, with the match rate varying by the type of applicant (for example, a 10 percent match will be required for counties and cities, and a 5 percent match for tribes). 
Intersection With Behavioral Health Infrastructure Program. DSS has been collaborating with DHCS to coordinate the departments’ work across CCE and BH‑CIP. The departments have contracted with an external consulting and research firm to serve as the administration entity for CCE and BH‑CIP. This contractor will provide pre‑application technical assistance and consultations to all program applicants beginning in January 2022, and will provide ongoing training and assistance throughout the duration of both projects. Where possible, applicants will be encouraged to leverage funding from both CCE and BH‑CIP—as well as other sources—to deliver more comprehensive residential and behavioral health services to eligible populations. 

Homelessness Landscape Assessment 
Homelessness Assessment and Data System. The 2021‑22 budget provided $5.6 million one‑time General Fund for Cal ICH to contract with a vendor to conduct an analysis of homelessness service providers and programs at the local and state level. A statutorily mandated interim report is due to the Legislature July 1, 2022 and a final assessment is due by December 31, 2022.
FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
The zoning districts which allow ADUs are R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, P-D where residential use is allowed and Specific Plan areas where residential use is allowed. An Accessory Dwelling Unit is different from an Accessory Building.  An Accessory Building, or structure, includes sheds, tool sheds, workshops, and garden sheds. SBMC 12.84.140. 

2.
What is a Junior ADU and is it allowed?

A Junior ADU (JADU) is permitted under Government Code Section 65852.22. A JADU is a type of an ADU which is converted from an existing living area and located entirely within the existing residence.  The maximum size of a JADU shall not exceed 500 s.f. A JADU shall have an efficiency kitchen while the bathroom can be independent or can be shared with the primary dwelling.  A JADU is allowed in addition to a detached, new construction ADU in all zoning districts allowed for ADUs. A JADU requires owner occupancy of the primary dwelling. 

3.
How many ADUs are allowed on my property?

Each single-family residential property is allowed one new construction ADU in addition to a JADU. Each multi-family residential property is allowed up to two detached ADU units plus multiple converted ADUs, up to 25% of existing units that are created within any existing non-livable spaces (storage, equipment rooms, basement or passageways). 

4.
What are the new maximum unit sizes allowed under state law?

ADU statute limits the size of an attached ADU to 50% of the size of the existing primary dwelling (Gov. Code Section 65852.2(a)(1)(D)(iv)). The local agency is generally required to allow an ADU of at least 850 sq. ft, or 1000 sq. ft. if it contains more than one bedroom. In a situation where the local agency’s development standards, as noted in an adopted ADU ordinance, constrain the area for an ADU, it could be limited to no less than 800 sq.ft.
