Amend city laws governing accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units
In Plain English
The city is updating its rules for accessory dwelling units (small secondary homes on residential properties) and junior accessory dwelling units (converted spaces within existing homes). Current regulations may be outdated or unclear for property owners wanting to build these units. If approved, the changes could make it easier or harder to add rental units to residential properties.
