City to Host Final Public Meeting on ADU’s

The City of Sheridan will hold the final public meeting tonight on the option to allow Accessory Dwelling Units in areas of the City zoned R-1 Residential. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The final of three public meetings to gather public input on the City possibly amending code to allow ADU’s on property zoned R-1 Residential will take place tonight at the Grace Anglican Church in Sheridan. An accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, is defined as a residential living unit that is detached from a single-family dwelling that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons, which include a separate entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping facilities, located on the same lot as the primary single-family residence. City Public Works Director Lane Thompson explains what would change if the City Council and Mayor choose to amend City code to allow for ADU’s in R-1.

Thompson said the City of Sheridan website has a dedicated page where people can view a presentation on ADU’s and answer a question on whether they should be allowed in R-1 or not. You can access that page through this story at sheridanmedia.com. Tonight’s public meeting will be at 5:30 at the Grace Anglican Church in Sheridan.
