Lake Forest Park City Council public hearing and regular meeting Thursday, February 24, 2022, 7pm. Both are virtual meetings.

Public Hearing and Action on: 

• Ordinance 1235/Amending Chapters 18.08, Definitions; and 
• Sections 18.50.050, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and 
• 18.50.060, Accessory Structures and Buildings, of the Lake Forest Park Municipal Code

Process for Hearing

• Staff address questions that may have been presented during public comments and from Council

The Planning Commission has recommended reducing the lot size eligible for a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) from 15,000 sf to 10,000 square feet. It is estimated that this would increase the percentage of DADU-eligible lots from 28% to 64% of single family lots. 

Reducing the minimum lot size to 9,600 square feet would increase the percentage to approximately 70% of single family lots being DADU-eligible.
