Council flags enforcement, CC&Rs and impact-fee questions as ADU rules take effect

As council adopted the ADU ordinance, members and staff discussed several implementation issues that will require follow-up. Council asked planning and public-works staff to check subdivision covenants and conditions (CC&Rs) during the zoning-clearance process so applicants do not begin construction and later find a private restriction prevents an ADU. Members also discussed whether to impose impact fees for detached ADUs to address sewer and park impacts and whether the city or a third party will be able to track compliance with owner-occupancy rules.
