Planning Commission sets public hearing to require ADU land-use permit
Summary
The South Ogden Planning Commission voted unanimously to set a public hearing to amend the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance to require a land-use permit; commissioners noted the change may interact with proposed short-term rental rules and directed staff to coordinate timing.
The South Ogden Planning Commission voted unanimously to schedule a public hearing to amend the city's ADU ordinance to require a land-use permit.
Commissioner Boyle moved "that we proceed to put a public hearing to change the ordinance for ADU specifically, to require, a land use permit," and the motion was seconded and recorded by the commission. Chair (meeting moderator) then called the roll and announced the motion passed unanimously.
The commission debated briefly whether to set the hearing immediately or wait because an item on short-term rentals — which the current ADU ordinance explicitly bars — is pending with the city council. Planning staff recommended coordinating the ADU amendment with any changes to short-term rental rules to avoid amending the same ordinance twice.
The public hearing will allow the commission to gather public comment and consider the specific permit requirements and documentation that applicants must provide, including diagrams and site plans staff said they can review prior to issuance. The commission did not adopt the ordinance tonight; it only approved placing the ADU land-use permit amendment on the agenda for a future public hearing.
