Staff clarifies permit steps, processing fee and fee thresholds for ADUs
Summary
Staff explained that pre‑approved ADU plans still require site plan review, building permits and fire inspections; processing deposit is $1,800 and ADUs above 750 sq ft may be subject to development impact fees.
Staff clarified that using a pre‑approved ADU plan accelerates discretionary review but does not replace required site review, building permits or inspections. A staff representative said homeowners must still submit a site plan showing ADU location and setbacks and then obtain a building permit; the town's building division and fire district will perform the usual technical reviews.
"If they keep the pre‑approved ADU how it is exactly then it still goes through like our ADU application process... that's pretty much the process for us is that it's approved then it goes to the building department and if nothing else changes as well it's... we'll get the building permit," staff said.
Commissioners asked about fees and recent applications. Staff reported roughly 12 ADU applications this year and identified a processing deposit of $1,800 for an ADU application. Staff reiterated that ADUs larger than 750 sq ft are subject to development impact fees and that those fees are calculated proportionally for units that exceed thresholds.
