ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - Accessory Dwelling Units
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a second dwelling unit on a single family lot that has its own eating, sleeping, and sanitation facilities. Rapid City’s Comprehensive Plan recommends that ADU’s be allowed in residential neighborhoods in conjunction with clear standards to guide size, occupancy limitations, etc. as a way to diversity the mix of housing in our community. An ordinance to allow ADU's in Rapid City was adopted in December of 2019.
