<br />Agenda Number: Q, ~ <br /> <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Dwight Johnson, City Manager <br /> <br />Shawn Drill, Senior Planner, through Anne HU~ Community <br />Development Director <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />City of Plymouth. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to 1) provide a <br />Definition for Accessory Dwelling Units, and 2) allow Accessory <br />Dwelling Units on certain Single-Family Lots with an Administrative <br />Permit (2002006) <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />May 31, 2002 for the City Council Meeting of June 11, 2002 <br /> <br />1. PROPOSED MOTION: <br /> <br />Move to adopt the following attached items: <br /> <br />a) An ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow accessory dwelling units on <br />certain single-family lots with an administrative permit; and <br /> <br />b) A resolution approving findings of fact for the text amendment. <br /> <br />Adoption of an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance text and adoption of a resolution <br />approving findings of fact for the text amendment requires a 4/7 vote of the City Council. <br /> <br />2. BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />Draft regulations pertaining to accessory dwelling units were originally presented to the City <br />Council on January 22, 2002 as part of the annual update to the Zoning Ordinance. The draft <br />regulations presented at that time would have allowed accessory dwelling units on all sing1e- <br />family lots upon issuance of an administrative permit. The Council decided to remove all <br />language pertaining to accessory dwelling units from the annual update to allow for more in- <br />depth review and discussion of the proposed ordinance. The Council also expressed that a public <br />review process should be required if accessory dwelling units were to be allowed within <br />established neighborhoods. <br /> <br />/"\ <br />
