Board adopts second reading of ordinance aligning ADU permitting with state law
Summary
After opening and closing a public hearing with no public comment, the Mills County Board approved the second reading of Ordinance 25-02 to update county permitting standards for accessory dwelling units to reflect recent state statutory changes.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors approved the second reading of Ordinance 25-02, which the board described as an update to county permitting rules to align with recent state law changes that affect accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
A public hearing opened at 08:30; Speaker 4 and Speaker 5 stated they had not received any written or oral comments. Speaker 1 moved to close the hearing at 08:31 and Speaker 2 seconded; the hearing closed with no public testimony recorded.
During consideration of the second reading, Speaker 1 noted the ordinance "covers what the new state law says about building extra houses" and Speaker 3 summarized that the state change allows accessory units (ADUs) on parcels that already have a single primary dwelling and that the ordinance sets the local restrictions the county may impose. The board approved the second reading; the roll-call record in the transcript includes affirmative responses (David Carey and Crouch recorded 'Yes'/'Aye').
No amendments were recorded in the transcript; staff indicated the ordinance reflected the state changes and would be implemented as written.
