Planning Commission recommends ADU zoning amendments to align with state bills
Summary
Queenstown's Planning Commission recommended amendments to the town zoning ordinance to implement provisions of SB 0891/HB 1466 intended to facilitate accessory dwelling units; amendments were presented for review and must be adopted by Oct. 1, 2026.
The Planning Commission recommended that the Town Commissioners amend the Queenstown Zoning Ordinance to include provisions responding to state legislation SB 0891 and HB 1466 that promote accessory dwelling units (ADUs) such as in‑law suites or converted garages on single‑family lots.
The recommendation was presented to the commissioners for review and future discussion; the draft amendments were provided to the town for consideration. The transcript states that the changes are intended to "promote and facilitate the creation of ADU's" and that any municipal amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will need to be adopted by Oct. 1, 2026, to align with state policy.
No vote or ordinance introduction occurred at the Oct. 8 meeting; the Planning Commission's action was presented as an item for the commissioners to review and schedule as appropriate. Town staff and the Planning Commission will need to prepare draft ordinance language and public notice if the town proceeds toward formal adoption.
