The code amendments authorize ADUs on properties zoned Rural Residential and at least two acres in size. The ADU must be accessory to a single-family dwelling on the property, as well as several other standards and conditions. This project also includes codifying an allowance to convert a historic single-family dwelling to an ADU when the single-family dwelling is replaced, subject to certain conditions.
The code amendments that will be discussed at the work session can be viewed online. They are also available to review in person at the Lane County Public Works Customer Service Center (3050 N. Delta Highway, Eugene).
The public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners follows a recommendation from the Lane County Planning Commission, which also provided for public involvement last year.
