The hearing packet would add accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations to R‑1 zoning (Section 18.35.070) and raise maximum lot coverage in R‑1 from 30% to 40% (Section 18.35.050E); supporters said the change would help create more housing options.

The full story

The Town of Huachuca City packet presented at the April 30 hearing would add a new section (18.35.070) allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in R‑1 residential zones and establishing standards tying ADUs to a principal dwelling. The packet defines a principal dwelling unit as "the allowable main residential structure on a lot" and an ADU as a self‑contained living unit on the same lot with its own sleeping, sanitation and kitchen facilities.
