Community development touts five preapproved ADU designs to speed housing production
Summary
Community Development staff said the department has five preapproved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans and is testing digital plan check and other streamlining measures to accelerate housing production and permitting.
Community development told the council the department has been modernizing plan check and permitting systems and highlighted a concrete step to speed housing delivery: five preapproved ADU designs. "We now have 5 preapproved ADU designs," staff said, noting the city will publicize those designs and seek additional plans to expand the program.
Staff described the plan check process as digital and emphasized outreach that aims to reduce delays for applicants. Council members asked about posting the preapproved plans online and about additional measures to encourage ADU production; staff said the designs will be made available shortly with appropriate rights and documentation from the architects.
