The city is recommending incremental changes to regulations that would remove some of the barriers to creating accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are also known as garage or basement apartments. On Feb. 27, City Council held a study session to review a recently completed survey of ADU owners in Boulder, the results of community engagement activities over the past several months, and recommended regulation changes.

Based on council feedback, staff refined the list of options for proposed regulation changes and is seeking community input prior to a formal hearing with Planning Board and City Council in the spring.

The survey will close April 15.
