C O M City of Spring Park Memorandum To: Mike Anderson, City Administrator Spring Park City Council From: Lori Johnson, City Planner Date: March 27, 2026 for the April 6 City Council Meeting Regarding: ADU Ordinance In January the City Council discussed a proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance that was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. The memo for that agenda item is below in italics. Prior to approving the proposed ordinance, the City Council asked that the ordinance include requirements for the ADU application that would allow staff to determine eligibility for tenancy at the ADU, and requirements for renewals every year or when tenancy changes. The ordinance has been revised to include the following language: An administrative permit for the accessory dwelling unit shall be applied for concurrently with the application for a building permit. The applicant will be required to submit information that proves the tenant is a family member of the owner of the principal residence. A form will be provided by the city to prove this relationship. An administrative permit must be renewed yearly along with a new form as previously mentioned. If there is a change of tenancy at any time, a new administrative permit will be required. In summary: • School districts and universities require family member proof of residency letters to confirm district residency, and the city will provide a template for this letter, with staff and the City Attorney finalizing the language in the template. This method addresses concerns about verifying who lives in an ADU. • The ordinance now requires annual renewal of both the administrative permit and residency form. • Any change in ADU tenancy will require a new administrative permit. Joint Session—March 2026 At the joint session held with the Planning Commission in March the proposed ADU ordinance was discussed and the group asked if ADU’s could be allowed in a nonconforming structure or nonconforming structures could be expanded for an ADU. ADU Memo March 27, 2026 Page 2 Additionally, there was a question about height requirements as they relate to required setbacks from the property line. After doing some research, ADU’s MAY be allowed to be located within nonconforming existing structures, depending on what the nonconformity is. If the nonconformity is setbacks, and the building does not meet the required setbacks for ADU’s, then the ADU would not be allowed in the nonconforming structure. If there is some other type of nonconformity with the structure and but the ADU requirements can still be met, then the ADU could be located within the existing nonconforming structure. Nonconforming structures cannot be expanded to allow an ADU unless the expansion would meet setback requirements and height requirements. With regard to height of the structure, there is no location within the Zoning Ordinance that calls for setbacks of accessory structures to be correlated to the height of the building. MEMO LANGUAGE FROM JANUARY The Planning Commission initiated a conversation about creating an Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (ADU) at their August 2025 meeting. Following a thorough evaluation, I provided recommendations regarding possible amendments to the ordinance. Subsequent discussions by the Planning Commission on these proposed changes occurred in October, and in November, the Commission voted to adopt the attached ADU ordinance for the city. The memos for these specific meetings are included in the packet of information for this item. Background The city’s current zoning ordinance allows for single and two-family dwelling units in the R-1 and R-2 residential zoning districts. The R-3 zoning district only allows townhouses, quads and apartments. Scenario: If someone in the R-1 or R-2 district owns a lot with an existing single-family home on the property, they could construct a second attached unit on that home if the addition meets all standards in the governing zoning district. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) are typically defined as a secondary dwelling unit located on the same lot as a single-family dwelling unit, either physically attached to, within, or detached from the single-family dwelling unit. Many cities have adopted specific ADU ordinances due to the growing demand for such units. According to the scenario above, Spring Park allows two attached units on one lot in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts. There is no provision, however, in the current ordinance that allows for two separate dwelling units on one lot in these zoning districts. The Planning Commission requested that staff provide an ADU ordinance that required the following elements: ADU Memo March 27, 2026 Page 3 • Allowance of detached units. • ADU must be occupied by a family member. • The property must be homesteaded. • Impervious surface requirements must be met. • ADU’s can be over detached garages. Staff has prepared an ordinance establishing the allowance of ADU’s within the city as follows: • Amendment to Article II, General Provisions by establishing Section 42-78. (ADU standards) • Amendment to Article II, General Provisions, Section 42-64, referencing Section 42-78. • Amendment to Article III, Establishment of Zoning Provisions, Division 2. R-1, Single and Two-Family Residential District, allowing ADU’s as accessory uses with an administrative permit. It is recommended that the City Council adopt/approve the proposed ordinances regarding the allowance of detached ADU’s within the city.
