ADUs would be considered in 2 phases at the Planning and Neighborhoods Committee.

Aug. 17 Meeting

“Financing and loan programs for ADU construction, pre-approved designs that could enable faster processing, short-term rental regulations and parking requirements”

Sept 21 Meeting

“Discuss structure and lot-size regulations, processes for neighborhoods to opt in or out of the new policies, issues related to water utility metering and fees, affordability requirements and housing preservation incentives”

In practical terms, what are the implications of this timeline and splitting things into two phases?

I think it mainly gives the committee time to focus on the different specifics instead of trying to do everything at the same time and not doing it well, which has been an issue before. It also draws it out more, but at least now there seems to be an actual timeline.
