6. DISCUSSION ITEM: ADU
Presenter: Glenn Williams
The commission held a discussion on Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance, which the city is mandated by the state to adopt by October 2026. Glenn Williams, who prepared the draft proposal, provided an overview of the key components. He explained the three types of ADUs-interior, attached, and detached-and outlined his recommendations, which include a minimum size of 600 square feet and requirements for a three-quarter bath, a kitchen, and a sleeping facility. Key considerations discussed included septic system capacity, which must be verified before an ADU permit is issued, and the legal framework to keep the ADU tied to the primary property owner to prevent future subdivision. Glenn also noted that existing basement apartments are grandfathered until a significant renovation occurs, at which point they must comply with the new ADU standards. The city's building official, Jeff Monroe, stressed the importance of a clear ordinance for consistent enforcement and to help residents understand how they can benefit from using their property while maintaining community standards. The commission agreed to review the draft materials for a dedicated work session next month on September 24, 2026.
