Planning commission to review city accessory‑dwelling rules and consider allowing second dwellings by right
Summary
County Planner Judy Clark will bring the city's accessory‑dwelling rules and other counties' regulations to the next meeting for the commission to consider whether second dwellings could be allowed by right rather than by conditional use permit.
County Planner Judy Clark told the Lincoln County Planning Commission on July 9 that she will bring the city's accessory dwelling regulations and examples from other counties to the commission’s next meeting for review. The intent is to consider whether second dwellings (mother‑in‑law units, accessory units) could be permitted by right instead of requiring a conditional use permit.
Commissioners exchanged views: some noted the county has denied several such requests in the past; others said concerns about trailers and visual impacts influence votes. Planner Clark will collect model regulations and return with recommendations at the next meeting.
