Summary

The committee voted to accept late-file status for an ordinance amending the Metro Code to create a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) exclusion overlay district so the item can track on second reading with a related substitute. The late-file nature passed 6–0–0.

The Rules, Confirmations & Public Elections Committee on Nov. 4 voted to accept the late-file nature of an ordinance by Council Member Johnston that would amend chapters 17.36 and 17.4 of the Metropolitan Code to create a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) exclusion overlay district (proposal 2025ZTX001). The sponsor said the late filing was to allow the ordinance to track on second reading with a bill seeking to substitute the measure.

After brief questions from committee members about timing and purpose, the committee voted to accept the item as a late file; the recorded tally was 6–0–0. The committee’s action only approved late-file status so the ordinance can proceed to subsequent readings and committee or floor consideration as provided by Metro procedure.
