What: Accessory dwelling units as a new defined use in the proposed zoning code.
Where it stands: Proposed as of right in medium and high density residential districts and by special permit in low density districts; Council asked about financing, severability and shipping containers.
Next: Further Council hearings, expected in December.
Administration called the low density special permit an incremental step because Rochester 2034 did not originally call for ADUs there; building code and aesthetics were cited on shipping containers.
