Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Another text change regarding missing middle housing and ADUs, titled Missing Middle 2.0. This one builds off the last missing middle text change in the following ways:

  • Reduce the lot size requirements and increase the allowed building size for the Tiny House building type. Under the proposed text change, a Tiny House could have a maximum 800 square foot building footprint and 1,200 square foot floor area.
  • Permit Tiny Houses to be used for either single-unit or two-unit living.
  • Permit two-unit Townhouses in the R-4 zoning district.
  • Synchronize lot dimensional standards across most building types.
  • Reorganize the code to insert Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations and Cottage Court regulations in both the Residential chapter of the UDO as well as the Mixed-Use chapter of the UDO.
  • Allow Accessory Dwelling units on townhouse lots.
  • Allow denser residential development within proximity of planned high-frequency transit to encourage growth in these areas.
  • Allow two Accessory Dwelling units on a lot when proximate to planned high-frequency transit.
