An accessory dwelling unit is a secondary dwelling located on the same <br /> lot as a principal dwelling. Shortly after the Council action, a citizen brought to staff's attention that the <br /> code did not provide any flexibility concerning the size of an ADU to address circumstances where the <br /> design of an existing building may make it difficult to meet the size limits of the code without creating an <br /> illogical floor plan. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 4, 2017, and recommends <br /> approval of the proposed amendment. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units, Section 7(J) of <br /> Ordinance No. 3534-17 (EMC 19.07.030.7). <br /> 9 <br />
