On April 14, City Council approved the necessary code changes to implement fee waivers for the systems development charges on accessory dwelling units. The code changes, which are in effect immediately, were the last step in implementing a policy adopted by the City Council in early March to remove barriers to constructing ADU's, commonly known as Mother-In-Law units. Previously, the relatively high cost of SDC's proved prohibitive to the proliferation of ADUs. Construction of more ADUs will help the City with its affordable housing and density goals. The waiver of SDC fees on ADUs will be in effect until July 2013.
