RE: Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance Amendment
PLNPCM2022-00475
MOTION 1 (adopt with owner occupancy requirement only in single-family residential districts)
I move that the Council adopt the ordinance, and include the following conditions:
•Remove conditional use requirements for ADUs
•Establish the maximum size of a detached ADU is 1,000 square feet
•Retain the owner occupancy requirement for properties with single-family homes and ADUs in the FR, R-1, SR-1, and SR-1A zoning districts
•Adversely affected parties have right of enforcement for violating terms of an ADU restrictive covenant
•The minimum corner side yard setback is 20% of the lot width, or 10 feet whichever is less
•Provide a minimum of one off-street parking space for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) residents, with the following exceptions:
o If the property is within ½ mile of a designated bicycle lane or path
o If the property is within ¼ mile of transit
o If sufficient space for on-street parking is available in front of the primary residence
(Optional) I further move that the Council adopt the following legislative intents:
•It is the intent of the Council to revisit this requirement in three/five years. In the interim, data will be collected and reviewed regarding numbers
of ADUs constructed during this three-year period, barriers to their construction, and impacts to neighborhoods.
•It is the intent of the Council to provide $1 million in one-time funding to provide financial support for ADU construction.
•It is the intent of the Council to fund 2 additional Civil Enforcement employees for ADU enforcement.
Staff note on logistics for intents relating to the annual budget: The Council may choose to adopt these legislative intents in conjunction with
action on the ADU ordinance, but no funding will be finalized until the annual budget is adopted in mid-June. The Mayor could choose to
include these in her recommended budget presented to the Council on May 2, or the Council could choose to add these items subsequent to
receiving the recommendation from the Mayor.
MOTION 2 (adopt with owner occupancy requirement citywide)
I move that the Council adopt the ordinance, and include the following conditions:
•Remove conditional use requirements for ADUs
•Establish the maximum size of a detached ADU is 1,000 square feet
•Adversely affected parties have right of enforcement for violating terms of an ADU restrictive covenant
•Adopt the ordinance as proposed, retaining the owner occupancy requirement for properties with ADUs
•The minimum corner side yard setback is 20% of the lot width, or 10 feet whichever is less
•Provide a minimum of one off-street parking space for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) residents, with the following exceptions:
o If the property is within ½ mile of a designated bicycle lane or path
o If the property is within ¼ mile of transit
o If sufficient space for on-street parking is available in front of the primary residence
