This item received a positive recommendation from the Planning Commission and will go to City Council on September 14th.

The State passed legislation in March of this year outlining how a city can and cannot regulate an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). You can find a link to that House Bill under links.

The changes impact the Lehi City Development Code in the following ways:

  • Reducing off-street parking requirement to one off-street stall per ADU.
  • Eliminate any restrictions on the percentage of the home
  • Change minimum lot size from 8,000 square feet to 6,000 square feet.
  • Eliminate frontage requirements.
  • Eliminate the statement that ADU’s must comply with CC&Rs.

The City can also choose to not allow ADUs in 25 percent of the total area zoned primarily for residential use.
