d. No more than three unrelated adults shall be tenants in any single dwelling unit. <br /> <br />By the above standards, my interpretation would be that we would allow a mother-in-law type <br />apartment as long as it was part of the principal structure on the lot. So if the home had a code <br />compliant (Fire and Building Code) apartment in the attic or basement for example, this would be <br />permitted. City Code would not allow for a dwelling unit to be located in an accessory structure. <br /> <br /> <br />Inver Grove Heights <br />The city council is just now looking at an ordinance amendment to allow accessory dwelling units. <br />We received a zoning application from a resident who wanted to covert a detached structure into an <br />ADU and that’s what kicked off our discussion. The City’s Housing Committee has had the topic <br />on their list of things they would like the council to look at, so the issue has come up here before we <br />received an application. I have attached a draft ordinance that the Council considered for the first <br />reading last night. Our ordinance language is taken from many other metro cities that allow these. <br />Nothing ground breaking here. I found info from Bloomington, Shoreview, Richfield, Roseville, <br />Apple Valley, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Plymouth. <br /> <br />One thing the Council added last night was that any detached ADU on a lot with well and septic, the <br />ADU must utilize the same septic and well as the house. No separate systems allowed.
