Re: City Initiated Accessory Dwelling Unit Text Amendment Request


Comments:

This application is a request for approval of a Text Amendment that includes multiple changes to Title 9 of the Draper City Municipal Code (DCMC) related to definitions, the regulation of second kitchens in single-family dwellings, and accessory dwelling units. These ordinance changes are necessary in part to bring the DCMC into compliance with the requirements of H.B. 82 passed by the Utah State Legislature during the 2021 legislative session.

The findings are as follows:

For a positive recommendation: 

 

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the city's general plan;

2. The proposed amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance;

3. The proposed amendment is appropriate given the context of the request and there is sufficient justification for a modification to the zoning ordinance;

4. The proposed amendment will not create a conflict with any other section or part of this title or the general plan;

5. The potential effects of the proposed amendment have been evaluated and determined not to be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare and represents an overall community benefit; and

6. The proposed text amendment implements best current, professional practices of urban planning, design, and engineering practices.

 

For a negative recommendation:

  

1. The proposed amendment is not consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the city's general plan;

2. The proposed amendment does not further the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance;

3. The proposed amendment is not appropriate given the context of the request and there is not sufficient justification for a modification to the zoning ordinance;

4. The proposed amendment will create a conflict with another section or part of this title or the general plan;

5. The potential effects of the proposed amendment have been evaluated and determined to be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare and does not represent an overall community benefit; and

6. The proposed text amendment does not implement best current, professional practices of urban planning, design, and engineering practices.
