Daggett County planning board approves revisions to ADU ordinance draft
Summary
The Daggett County Planning and Zoning Board on May 19, 2026, reviewed and approved multiple textual changes to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance, including permitted‑use language, a change to a square‑foot threshold, and updated enforcement citations.
The Daggett County Planning and Zoning Board approved revisions to the county’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance at a May 19, 2026 work meeting in Manila.
Board members reviewed edits to Section 8-9-30 that remove conditional language from the list of permitted ADU types and clarify where ADUs are allowed. The permitted‑use list now names Internal ADUs (IADU), Attached ADUs (AADU), and Detached ADUs (DADU), and the board specified that detached ADUs are for full‑time residents only. The board also directed that ADUs be a permitted use in all residential and agricultural zones when a residential structure exists on a legally created lot.
The revisions include a change in Section 8-9-30-C raising the referenced lot-size threshold from seven thousand square feet to 11,000 square feet and removal of certain references to IADUs. The board also agreed to remove the affidavit language in Section 8-9-30-D and to update the enforcement cross-reference in Section 8-9-30-E by striking Title 17-53-223 and citing Title 17-79-9 (Enforcement).
Chair Chad Reed and Vice Chair Allan Wood led the discussion; the review was presented as edits to the draft ordinance rather than introduction of a new ordinance. The board approved the changes and directed staff to incorporate them into the draft for the next step in the ordinance process.
