7. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2021-14 AMENDING TITLE 11 OF THE CITY'S CODE BY ENACTING CHAPTER 21 - INTERNAL ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
BACKGROUND: Staff, Planning Commission, and the City Council held many meetings to discuss the implementation of an ordinance that would allow for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). During the 2021 legislative session the State Legislature enacted new requirements mandating all municipal agencies adopt regulations to allow Internal Accessory Dwelling Units (IADUs). The State Code requires communities to address housing affordability; therefore, IADUs have been identified as a priority. The ordinance amends Title 11 of the Clearfield City Code by enacting Chapter 21 - Internal Accessory Dwelling Units and its consideration was tabled at the meeting on September 26, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 2021-14 amending Title 11 of the City's Code by enacting Chapter 21 - Internal Accessory Dwelling Units and authorize the Mayor's signature to any necessary documents.

The proposed subdivision will have two phases with phase one being mostly on the north side of the property and phase two on the south. There will be a residential street that will connect to 1000 West on the east and the existing stub street at 1150 South on the west, which will allow access into the existing subdivision to the west.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Final Subdivision Plat for the Heritage East Subdivision located at approximately 1100 South 1000 West and authorize the Mayor's signature to any necessary documents.
