Commission accepts AHAC report, staff recommends loosening ADU rules to add rental options
Summary
The board accepted the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's 2025 report and staff proposed two AHAC priorities: allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be rented (remove non‑paying guest restriction) and increase the ADU size allowance (proposed 50% of primary dwelling with 1,200 sq ft cap). The report ties to SHIP reporting requirements if local SHIP exceeds state minimums.
The Board of County Commissioners accepted the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee's 2025 affordable housing incentive strategies report and heard staff recommendations on two incentives the board should consider: Amending the land development code to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be rented rather than limiting them to non‑paying guests, and increasing the ADU size allowance from the current "600 sq ft or one‑third of the main dwelling" standard to a 50% provision with a maximum of 1,200 sq ft.
