ADU 90-day window goes into effect; commissioners ask staff for public outreach
Summary
Staff told the board that a 90-day ADU/EDU timeframe takes effect tomorrow; commissioners asked staff to prepare a press release and FAQs and to consider pre-engineered ADU plans to speed permitting.
County staff told commissioners the 90-day ADU/EDU period ends today and the rule goes into effect tomorrow. Commissioners and staff agreed to prepare a press release, FAQs, and guidance for the public, and discussed the idea of offering pre-engineered ADU plans ("canned" plans) that could be used to speed permit processing.
"I will ask Derek to draft the press release," a commissioner said; staff said they would work with Derek and other departments to assemble materials and to consider a publicly available plan set to streamline common ADU permit requests. Commissioners noted the change could prompt a surge of building permit applications and asked building staff to prepare for increased demand.
