Resident asks Draper to reexamine ADU prohibited-area map and deviation rules
Summary
A resident urged the city to review the ADU prohibited-area map and deviation requirements (Title 9, chapter 31), noting apparent inconsistency between a 6,000-square-foot allowed lot and deviation rules requiring 20,000-square-foot lots for a variance.
During general public comment, Sean Benjamin (speaker 11) asked the council to direct staff to reexamine the map and standards that govern accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
Benjamin said Title 9, chapter 31 allows ADUs on lots of 6,000 square feet generally, but section 9-31-055 imposes a deviation requirement that appears to require a 20,000-square-foot lot for a deviation, creating a practical inconsistency. He asked that staff study the prohibited-area map and update it where appropriate so that the code and the map align.
Council members thanked him for the input and acknowledged staff’s competence; Benjamin left materials with the council and requested a staff study to evaluate updating the prohibited-area designations.
