Full Breakdown
" The section does not set a dollar figure in the LDC itself; instead it directs that the ADU be treated as an additional dwelling unit for purposes of the city's standard impact-fee schedule, meaning the same categories of fee applied to any new residential unit, police and fire protection, water and sewer capacity, and parks and recreation, apply to the ADU because it adds a household's worth of demand on those services even though it sits on an already-developed lot. 6 requirement: the one-unit-per-lot cap, the 1,200-square-foot size ceiling, the two-story height limit and the setback and parking standards all still apply regardless of the fee owed. 1.
Violations & Fines
Occupying or renting an ADU before the required police, fire, water/sewer and parks impact fees under § 405.1.6(l) have been paid is a Land Development Code compliance failure that can hold up issuance of the certificate of use or certificate of occupancy for the unit until the fees are satisfied.
