Castle Dale council adopts accessory-dwelling-unit ordinance
Summary
Council adopted an ADU ordinance (noted as Ordinance 121125A in discussion) permitting accessory dwelling units with clarifications on utility fees and no new universal utility charge; council discussed permit application availability before adoption.
Castle Dale’s City Council voted Dec. 11 to adopt an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance to allow accessory housing on existing lots under specified conditions.
Council members asked whether a sample permit application existed; staff indicated an application had not yet been prepared but that the ordinance language on the agenda met the council’s requirements. The ordinance was given a local ordinance identifier during the meeting and passed following motion and second.
Council discussed the effect on utilities: staff clarified there will be no blanket, additional utility fees for ADUs beyond identified cases (e.g., additional locations may incur fees) and that owners decide whether to purchase additional utility services. The council also noted the ordinance will be processed as part of land-use procedures going forward.
The ordinance was adopted by recorded affirmative votes; staff will prepare permit application materials and update the recorder’s office with the ordinance text.
