Santa Clara County
Wednesday, May 13, 2026

The Planning and Transportation Commission approved an ordinance to amend the Palo Alto Municipal Code regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to align with state law, including increasing the maximum ADU size to 1,200 square feet. The Commission also discussed and voted to postpone a decision on allowing the separate sale of ADUs, citing a lack of sufficient data and potential unintended consequences. Additionally, the Commission addressed concerns regarding the Stream Corridor Protection Ordinance, particularly for the Edgewood and Esther Clark neighborhoods, and recommended specific amendments to the City Council.
