Council approves conditional‑use permit for accessory dwelling at 878 E Washington Street
Summary
The council approved Resolution 20‑26 granting a conditional use permit for an accessory dwelling unit at 878 E Washington Street subject to standard ADU code requirements (owner‑occupied principal dwelling, max one ADU, two bedrooms max, no short‑term rental, connection to city utilities).
The Prescott City Council on April 13 approved Resolution 20‑26, authorizing a conditional use permit for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 878 E Washington Street.
City Planner Luke Wiese told the council the structure had long‑standing water and sewer connections but no documented prior formal approval as a dwelling; current city code requires the principal dwelling be owner‑occupied, allows a maximum of one ADU per lot, prohibits selling the ADU separately, forbids short‑term rental use, limits the ADU to two bedrooms, and requires connection to city water and sewer. The Plan Commission held a public hearing on April 6 and recommended approval.
Hintz/Otwell moved to approve Resolution 20‑26 and the motion passed without a negative voice vote. The conditional use permit is subject to the cited code conditions and any additional conditions staff may set during permitting.
