Board approves accessory dwelling unit at 93 Mallard Creek Lane with Planning Commission conditions
Summary
The Board granted a conditional use permit to allow an accessory dwelling unit larger than the 800 sq ft by‑right allowance in the Agricultural district at 93 Mallard Creek Lane; Planning Commission recommended approval with standard site‑plan and building conditions.
King William County supervisors voted Sept. 22 to approve a conditional use permit (CUP 04‑2025) allowing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on a 5.21‑acre parcel at 93 Mallard Creek Lane to exceed the county’s by‑right 800 square‑foot limit in the Agricultural (AC) district.
Planning staff described the application from Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds: the proposed attached structure included approximately 1,116 square feet of living area with an 840‑square‑foot attached garage (staff narrative also cited a total gross‑square‑foot figure in the materials). The ADU would be placed about 62 feet from the nearest property line; the parcel is heavily wooded and would use the existing driveway off Mallard Creek Lane. The Planning Commission recommended approval on Aug. 5 subject to meeting all standard ordinance requirements, submittal of final site plans and building elevations, and a condition that no additional ADU expansion would be permitted without new approvals.
Mister Hodges moved to approve the CUP with the Planning Commission’s recommended conditions; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call. Staff reminded the board that broader ADU code amendments are coming to the board on Oct. 14 that could affect future ADU applications.
Next steps: applicants to submit final site plan and building plan for staff review and building‑permit processing; no additional ADU enlargement will be permitted without subsequent board action.
