in all residential and agricultural zoning districts. Currently, ADUs are limited to a maximum size <br />of 33% of the heated/cooled floor area of the primary residence or 750 square feet, whichever is <br />less. The proposed LDR amendment increases the maximum size for ADUs to 50% of the <br />heated/cooled area of the primary residence or 1,000 square feet (this is increased to 1,200 square <br />feet for lots exceeding one acre in size), whichever is less. <br />On parcels that are 200,000 square feet or larger, the proposed LDR amendment also allows a <br />second accessory dwelling unit not to exceed 600 square feet in size. All parcels less than 200,000 <br />square feet in area will continue to be limited to one ADU. <br />To ensure that accessory dwelling units are consistent with the residential character of their <br />surrounding neighborhoods, the proposed LDR amendment prohibits the operation of an accessory <br />dwelling unit as a vacation rental or for commercial purposes. <br />The proposed LDR amendment has been presented to the public at many meetings and workshops. <br />Staff has not received any negative feedback to date and supports the proposed LDR amendment. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed accessory dwelling <br />unit amendment ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />1.
