Implementation

Overview

The City of Colorado Springs’ Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance is part of the city’s effort to ensure smart, equitable, and diversified housing solutions that allow our neighborhoods to grow in a way that is appropriate. Recent state legislation requires the City to allow ADUs in any location where a single-family detached home is permitted, and prevents the City from enacting or enforcing certain local laws that would restrict ADUs. As such, the City’s ADU Ordinance proposes updates to the Unified Development Code (UDC) based on state-mandated legislation as well as to support the citywide strategic priorities of housing availability and choice for city residents.
