Yes Attached Yes Detached No <br />1 Ramsey X There’s no specific language on it, just how we interpret our existing code. <br />2 Coon Rapids X <br />Allow additions to houses that contain kitchen, bathroom and living space but they <br />have to have full access to the rest of the house. We do not allow separate second <br />dwelling units. <br />3 Brooklyn Park X <br />They are only allowed in the R4 zoning district under certain lot size requirements. <br />They must be attached to the main house. In other districts, we allow for suites, as <br />long as they are internally connected. <br />4 Plymouth N/A X <br />Attached are the regulations (see p. 7 of the specialized housing section). Plymouth <br />also has a few districts (FRD, RSF-1, and RSF-R) where you can have a caretaker <br />apartment with a separate entrance with an interim use permit (page 5 of Section <br />RSF-1) and I can remember one request for this type of apartment. We’ve also got a <br />couple new mother-in-law suites that are accessed internal to the home (with no <br />separate access). We don’t consider those separate dwellings. <br />5 Brooklyn Center X <br />6 Shoreview X Ordinance, Section 207.010, and the application form, which includes the code <br />requirements. We do not receive many requests for these. <br />7 Cottage Grove X <br />They need to be within the owner occupied principal structure. Inspections are <br />required with the modifications. <br />http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/codebook/index.php?book_id=500&chapter_id <br />=27143#s1012841 <br />8 Lakeville X <br />9 Andover X <br />Andover does not allow dwelling units separate (in a different structure) from the <br />principal structure.  We do allow “mother-in-law apartments” within the principal <br />structure as long as there is access to the “mother-in-law apartment” through an <br />unlocked door. <br />10 Columbia Heights X <br />11 Inver Grove Heights X <br />The city council is just now looking at an ordinance amendment to allow accessory <br />dwelling units. We received a zoning application from a resident who wanted to <br />covert a detached structure into an ADU and that’s what kicked off our discussion.  <br />The City’s Housing Committee has had the topic on their list of things they would <br />like the council to look at, so the issue has come up here before we received an <br />application. I have attached a draft ordinance that the Council considered for the <br />first reading last night. Our ordinance language is taken from many other metro <br />cities that allow these. Nothing ground breaking here. I found info from <br />Bloomington, Shoreview, Richfield, Roseville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Farmington, <br />Lakeville and Plymouth. One thing the Council added last night was that any <br />detached ADU on a lot with well and septic, the ADU must utilize the same septic <br />and well as the house. No separate systems allowed. <br />12 Eden Prairie X <br />13 Big Lake X <br />14 Rogers X <br />15 Hopkins X <br />16 Otsego X <br />17 Golden Valley X <br />18 Maple Grove X <br />19 Fridley X <br />20 Vadnais Heights X <br />21 Arden Hills X <br />22 Hopkins X <br />23 Woodbury X <br />24 Anoka X <br />25 New Hope <br />Accessory Dwelling Units
