ADU "I could move my dad in with us without
• Reduce cost & permitting time having to share the TV and let him have his
• H OAs

Mayor's Recommendation
Option 1: Recommend approval
(Comments provided at the Open House were
consistent with the input previously given by the
Advisory Committee, two virtual Open Houses,
and individual comments submitted over the
course of project; therefore, no changes to the
Housing Action Plan as presented to the Council
last July are proposed)
