Title

Issues Related to Accessory Dwelling Units within the City of Gainesville (B)

Explanation

Accessory dwelling units have benefits and challenges but they are vital to the housing supply and provide housing options for individuals, professionals and small starting families.  They are well suited to low density single-family neighborhoods which are close to core urban areas and high density activity centers. This report examines the provision of accessory dwelling units within the City of Gainesville and the possibility of expanding the accessory dwelling unit program and making the process much easier while minimizing any negative impacts. 

Fiscal note

None.
