DLCD Updates Guidance on Accessory Dwelling Units Requirements

The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development has updated its Guidance on Implementing the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Requirement, which affects cities with a population greater than 2,500 and counties with a population greater than 15,000 (and jurisdictions of any size that seek to allow more housing choices within urban growth boundaries).

The updates implement a provision in HB 2001 that prohibits subject cities and counties from mandating off-street parking and owner-occupancy for ADUs. Affected cities must update codes by January 1, 2020.
