Planning commission reports draft ADU ordinance; council hears update
Summary
The town planning commission reviewed a draft accessory dwelling unit ordinance to align with state requirements, tabled final action pending further research, and scheduled another commission meeting in two weeks.
The planning commission chair (Speaker 5) reported to the council that the commission met June 22 to review a draft accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance intended to bring the town into alignment with recently enacted state requirements.
The chair said commissioners did not raise major objections but requested additional research before finalizing the local ordinance; the commission tabled action and will reconvene in two weeks to continue review.
Why it matters: ADU ordinances change where and how additional dwelling units may be sited and can affect housing availability and local zoning. The planning commission's work is an early step; the council did not take any formal action on the ordinance during this meeting.
The chair noted the draft came from a planner (identified as Steve in the transcript) and said the commission is coordinating an overall ordinance review process with town staff. No vote or ordinance number was provided on the record.
