At the November 19 special meeting of the Village of Bluffton Ordinance Committee, council members and residents discussed best case and worst case scenarios for the expansion of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the Village.
Seven residents attended the meeting led by council and committee members Mitch Kingsley and Joe Sehlhorst.
The committee has taken a year to draft legislation that would spell out how residential property owners in Bluffton may build attached and detached ADUS for rental and non-rental purposes.
The expressed goal of the legislation is to ease housing shortages and allow for a wider range of housing options. ADUs exist in and can be built in Bluffton, but specific guidelines are not provided for the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals.
The residents in attendance expressed concerns about changing the character of neighborhoods and creating more rentals with absentee owners. ▶︎
