City Council Staff Report <br />8/11/2025 – Amend Zoning Code – Detached ADUs <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br /> Figure 3: Example of an ADU (detached). <br />If allowing detached ADUs, staff would propose a new subsection with standards specific to <br />detached ADUs. The proposed draft would make these a conditional use in the R-1, R-2, R-3, <br />and R-4 districts. <br /> <br />The draft ordinance is based on the current requirements for accessory buildings (160.087(A)) <br />and ADU (internal) (160.087(J)) in the city code, the draft ordinance prepared by city staff in <br />2023, as well as research by current staff on neighboring communities. A ‘clean’ version is <br />included in the meeting materials for the council to review, as well as a ‘redlined’ version <br />showing changes that have been made since the first reading of the ordinance last month. <br /> <br /> <br />Options: <br />The City Council has the following options for this item: <br />1. Approve of the amendment, with or without changes. <br />2. Deny the proposed amendment, with findings for denial. <br />3. Table the proposed amendment for further review/study. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommend the Council review the draft ordinance, and direct staff on potential changes <br />as needed. <br />The City Council can approve of attached draft ordinance 1045, amending Chapter 160 of the <br />city code, after completing a first and second reading. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> ______________________ <br />Evan Monson, AICP <br />City Planner <br /> <br />Attachment(s): Draft Ordinance – Redlined <br /> Draft Ordinance - Clean
