WANT TO BUILD AN ADU?

We're excited about Accessory Dwelling Units. They're a great option when retired homeowners need extra income to cover their expenses. ADUs also have the potential to create affordable housing for longtime locals, and help our hometown meet challenging State housing mandates.

The good news is that it keeps getting easier to explore your options and navigate the ADU process. There's a wealth of ADU information on AARP'S website, including this comprehensive booklet. The State has also updated its ADU handbook. (Click the images below to download a PDF.)

More good news: The City's Community Services staffers are looking for ways to streamline the ADU development process. You can learn all about it on the updated ADU section on the City's website.  There's room for your comments and questions, too, because community engagement is an integral part of making the process simpler and more transparent.

But wait, there's more: LBS, the City, and the Housing & Human Services Committee are co-sponsoring an ADU workshop on September 19!
