Housing authority advances RFQ for preapproved ADU plans; timeline aims for January completion
Summary
Staff updated the board on the RFQ for preapproved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans, noting feedback is pending and a theoretical timeline that would complete plans by January to support implementation next spring.
Staff reported that the request for qualifications (RFQ) for a set of preapproved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans is under review and will be posted once feedback is incorporated. The stated timeline would complete the plan designs by January so that implementation could take place in the following spring building season.
Board members asked for feedback on previous procurement experiments and suggested the authority consider how to structure awards; one member noted that past competitions became administratively complex. Staff said they would gather feedback on the RFQ wording and next steps prior to posting.
Separately, board members flagged a potential code change that would increase allowed ADU square footage from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and noted that such code changes could affect the preapproved plan specifications.
