Board approves accessory dwelling unit permit at 150 High Bluff Road
Summary
Supervisors approved a conditional use permit for a detached accessory dwelling unit at 150 High Bluff Road, subject to standard health, building and occupancy conditions; neighbors spoke in favor and some speakers raised general ADU policy questions about short-term rental circumvention.
Planning staff presented a conditional use permit request for a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 150 High Bluff Road, describing the unit as 672 square feet on a 21‑acre parcel and intended for temporary occupancy by family members or guests.
Staff said the ADU complies with the county’s ADU ordinance requirements (Warren County Code subsection 180‑30.2) and listed recommended conditions: compliance with building, health and state fire code requirements, zoning inspection prior to certificate of occupancy, occupancy limits per health‑department permit and a prohibition on rentals for periods of less than 30 days.
Neighbors and nearby residents spoke in support, noting shared driveways and screening plans. One commenter said ADUs might be misused as short‑term rentals in some cases; the board and staff noted the 30‑day minimum is intended to limit that risk and that monitoring would occur through the permitting process. The board moved and approved CUP 2025‑10‑03 for the ADU with the planning‑recommended conditions recorded by roll call.
