Citywide ADU Update + Public Comments
There has been a lot of progress on the ADU front in the past month. On April 16th, Alder Bennett Lawson introduced his latest version of an ordinancewhich would allow accessory dwelling units citywide. To demonstrate our strong support for this ordinance, UE members turned out in person at City Hall to give public comment at the Zoning Committee meeting. Our turnout was so strong that each public comment was cut from three minutes to two minutes and there was still insufficient time for all of us to speak.This is how we demonstrate our power to elected officials. 💪
ADUs will most likely be back in the spotlight for the June Zoning Committee meeting. The agenda has not been published yet, but we will be organizing accordingly once we learn more. Stay tuned!
