Roseville: Permits ADU's. Either the single-family home or the ADU must be occupied by the property owner. The ADU may have a maximum of one bedroom and two occupants. The ADU requires one additional off-street parking space. The ADU may include a Home Occupation. The ADU shall be a minimum of 300 sq ft in size, and a maximum of 650 sq ft, or 75% of the single-family home area. A rental registration and an ADU permit are required. Prior to permitting, the City notifies neighbors within 100', providing 7 days to submit comments to the City. The City may place conditions upon the ADU permit. If non- compliant, the ADU permit may be revoked, providing a 60 -day notice. Upon revocation, the ADU may only be occupied by family members. An ADU permit expires with a change in ownership. Shoreview: Permits ADU's (referred to as an "accessory apartment"). ADU must be attached to a Home at least 850 sq ft in size. The ADU shall be 500 — 850 sq ft in size, and no larger than 30% of the building's total floor area. The ADU may have up to two bedrooms. The property must have at least three off-street parking spaces, two of which must be enclosed. The Home shall be owner occupied. The ADU may be administratively approved. Included in the Attachments, please find: (1) Minneapolis' ADU handout & application; and, (2) a Bloomington Staff Report which provides a comprehensive discussion of ADU's. As with many zoning topics, regulating ADU's can be complicated. Things to consider: 1. Should ADU's be allowed as a Permitted, Conditional, or Interim use in R-1 (or continue to be prohibited)? 2. Should ADU's be required to be attached to the House, or allowed to be detached (e.g. apartment above a detached garage)? 3. Should the property owner be required to occupy the Home? 4. Should there be a minimum and maximum size of an ADU? Summary Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are similar to an apartment within a single-family home, or within an accessory building. Currently, ADU's are not permitted in the R-1 District. The City Council has requested that the Planning Commission discuss this topic. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide Staff with direction if to proceed with developing a City Code amendment, allowing ADU's, or creating a list of questions for Staff to research for a future Planning Commission meeting.
