Agenda Item Summary:
The proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance was created in response to the City’s goal of diversifying options for housing in Rapid City. Accessory Dwelling Units are defined as “a subordinate dwelling which has its own cooking, sleeping and sanitation facilities and which is 1) within or attached to a single family residential building or 2) within a detached accessory structure associated with the single family dwelling that is smaller than the primary structure. The Comprehensive Plan identifies multiple recommendations related to allowing ADU’s. It’s important to note that certain criteria must be achieved in order to obtain a permit to operate an ADU under this ordinance. Not all properties will support an ADU.
