Council approves first reading of zoning cleanup; ADU rounding change advances
Summary
The council unanimously approved the first reading (and waived second reading) of an ordinance amending Title 10 to clarify land‑use tables and to round fractional ADU allowances up for multifamily buildings, a change staff says will encourage more ADUs.
The council unanimously approved on first reading an ordinance amending Title 10 (Planning and Zoning) to correct ministerial inconsistencies and clarify ADU/JADU approvals. Emily Longfellow (Town Attorney) said the amendments include a discretionary clarification to round fractional ADU allowances (25% of existing units in multifamily buildings) up rather than down, which staff said aligns with other state rules and could allow more ADUs in multifamily buildings.
No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. Vice Mayor Walker moved to read the ordinance by title only and to pass the first reading and waive the second reading; the motion passed unanimously on roll call.
