Special Virtual Meeting - Accessory Dwelling Units

caption follows

Meeting Info

The City is hosting a Public Staff Conference regarding the proposed ordinance permitting Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 6:00 PM, virtually on Zoom. To register, or for more information, please contact: Gabrielle Couch - gabrielle.couch@cincinnati-oh.gov. You can also read about the proposed amendment here.

Additional Background

In summer of 2020, the Department of City Planning & Engagement began researching the topic of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) based on the recommendations of the Property Tax Working Group. A full report was produced which ultimately recommended that the City pursue the inclusion of ADUs in the Zoning Code. In fall of 2022 Council-member Mark Jeffreys hosted a series of community engagement sessions on the topic, and an ordinance was drafted. On March 28, 2023 that ordinance was officially referred to the City Planning Commission for review. This public staff conference is a part of that review process.

The purpose of this meeting is to share the proposal and gather input and public comment to be used in staff’s report to the City Planning Commission. No decisions will be made.

Check out this great write up on The Echo!

No one wants to wait in a long line to dine, but lines are a good indicator of a restaurant’s popularity. Whether the popularity is well-earned, of course, is another story. At The Echo Restaurant in Ohio, however, the line — and acclaim — is merited. This tiny restaurant in Ohio pretty much always has a line out the door, and once you’ve tried the food, you’ll understand why… and happily join the crowds waiting for a table...
