City Council Work Session 9/4/2026

The Kaysville City Council held a work session on September 4, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the adoption of a text amendment ordinance to allow detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in compliance with state law SP84. The council deliberated extensively on various policy points including minimum lot sizes, maximum ADU footprint and height restrictions, setbacks, architectural design consistency, and parking limitations. They considered allowing two-story ADUs with increased setbacks, setting a maximum size of 1,200 square feet or 50% of the primary dwelling's footprint, and ensuring ADUs match the architectural character of the main house. The council also discussed enforcement challenges, utility easements, and the impact of ADUs on existing covenants and neighborhood aesthetics. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were mentioned, but the ordinance adoption will guide future construction and permitting processes related to ADUs in the city.
