Item for the Planning Commission Meeting:

Z23-000004 (Large-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment) - The purpose of this meeting is to consider changes to the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan (by specifically adding Policy 6.4.2.1 in our Future Land Use Element) that would permit accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in areas designated as rural clusters in Alachua County. An ADU is an additional living unit that would be permitted on a residential lot greater than one acre in size within the cluster. ADUs are already allowed on Rural/Agriculture properties outside of Rural Clusters. The language, if ultimately approved by the Board of County Commissioners, would enable residents who reside in rural clusters on lots greater than one acre to permit a second dwelling unit on their parcel provided they meet certain ADU standards as found in the Unified Land Development Code. For more information, contact Alachua County Growth Management Senior Planner Gerald Brewington at 352-374-5249 or glb@alachuacounty.us.
