Ms. Jane Hudson, Planning and Community Development Director, presented information on the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance coming to Council soon. There was prior discussion about eliminating the parking requirement for Accessory Dwelling Unit’s (ADU’s) and staff wanted to get input from the committee and consensus to proceed this week in order to meet the required publication for the April Planning Commission meeting. Councilmember Schueler asked for clarification of Non-Conforming. Ms. Hudson said this means there is not two spots per unit and adding an ADU does not require additional parking spots. Councilmember Schueler, Councilmember Holman and Councilmember Grant were in support of this if it is providing more housing units, especially in Core Norman, allowing neighborhoods to use road space more efficiently.
