Draft code would expand ADU and caretaker allowances and allow deed‑restriction as mitigation

The work session covered proposed changes to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and caretaker units. Kay Simonson said the county would increase allowed ADU sizes in low/medium/high density zones from 800 to 1,000 square feet and retain a 2,000-square-foot caretaker unit allowance in the F zone (for large 35-acre parcels), with a condition that deed-restricted caretaker units must be occupied and monitored per deed-restriction rules.
