Notus council reviews draft accessory dwelling unit ordinance
Summary
At a special session April 14, 2025, the Notus City Council reviewed a draft ADU ordinance that would cap ADU living space at 800 sq. ft., require a 9'x20' parking space, a certificate of occupancy, and record ADU covenants on county deeds; no vote was taken.
Council President Steve Ahlborn and city staff reviewed a draft accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance at a Notus special session workshop on April 14, 2025. The draft would add a definition section and set an 800-square-foot maximum living area for ADUs, require permitting with a variance option, and allow detached units.
The proposed measure would require a front-street address for ADUs, one parking space sized 9 feet by 20 feet, compliance with building code standards, and a certificate of occupancy before occupancy is allowed. The draft also calls for the ADU restriction to be recorded on the county deed “in perpetuity,” and councilors discussed administrative costs and permit processing options. No formal vote or ordinance adoption occurred during the workshop; the item remained under discussion.
