Owner occupancy requirement, $300,000 price tag stand in the way of more accessory dwelling units
One major administrative hurdle that was removed was a minimum lot size requirement to build a detached second housing unit.
Even properties with duplexes and row homes can now add ADUs with some additional site review built in, Plameri said.Parts of Denver considered to be in the “suburban context” — meaning they don’t have the alley access that has been a critical component of much of the ADU construction in the city to date — are now zoned for the small units.
Meanwhile, in urban areas, where most ADUs have been built to date, owners can now build full two stories units, avoiding previous rules that require slanted roofs on the second floor, or 1.5-story buildings in zoning code lingo.The owner occupancy rule was the one area where city leaders backed away from something experts said was likely to increase ADU construction.
“We have to have compromise in our city to have growth where it makes sense,” Hinds said. “This makes sure institutional investors don’t take huge numbers of short-term rentals off the market.”
