ADU's Continue to Flounder in City of Raleigh

The debate continues as to whether accessory dwelling units (ADU's) will ever be allowed in the City of Raleigh.  On 10/30/18, the proposed text change for ADU's (TC-3-17) was discussed in the Text Change Committee (a subcommittee of the Planning Commission).  It was sent there from the Growth & Natural Resources Committee (a council committee) where it had spent months upon months getting twisted and turned into a proposal that if passed, would make ADU's exclusive at best and more than likely unbuildable.  After much discussion, the TC Committee did not agree with the idea of an overlay district and voted to recommend denial of the text change.  The items was then sent back to the Planning Commission and discussed at their 11/13/18 meeting.  They agreed that they couldn't agree on the proposed text for an ADU overlay district so they are planning to reconvene in a Committee of the Whole meeting at a date TBD to try and formulate some language to which they can mostly agree.
