Committee approves accessory dwelling unit rules allowing internal, attached and detached ADUs with owner-occupancy limits

The Zoning & Development Committee approved a substitute ordinance defining and permitting accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in single‑ and two‑family areas under a set of design and limited‑use standards. Sponsors included a requirement that owner‑occupants, not investor owners, must initiate many ADUs; building-code compliance remains mandatory.
