What this means
The commission backed two actions that affect how housing rules are tracked and updated in the city. One recommendation would send the city’s annual housing progress report to state housing officials, and the other would update the zoning code for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units. Staff said the city receives about 100 to 150 ADU applications each year, and about a quarter to half make it through plan check and get a building permit.
