FYI: The meeting listed below will discuss and update to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance. It includes allowing detached accessory dwelling units for the first time ever, not just attached accessory dwellings, as has been the historical limitation to in-fill within our city limits (Note:in-fill where infrastructure, utilities and services already exist).
