Paul Hoss clarified the change for electric vehicle charging stations. With the amendment
they would be able to be permitted as a stand alone use.
County Board Member Yoo inquired if the County has ever had Accessory Dwelling
Units before. Paul Hoss explained currently, it is allowed with a conditional use,
requiring the occupant to be 62 years or older and a family member. With the text
amendment people would still need a conditional use, but occupant no longer needs to be
related and no age restriction. Also, it would allow the ADU to be located in an existing
detached building and would increase the allowance of square footage from 400 to
1,000, but still must meet the floor area ratio requirements. The property must be owner
occupied, either living in principal structure or the ADU. Leases would be required to at
least six months. Parking requirements will still remain, no more than six vehicles.
