Description/Background:

The Utah Legislature passed SB284 during the 2026 legislative session that requires cities to allow detached accessory dwelling units (D-ADU) on residential lots 11,000 square feet or larger. To address these new provisions, staff has prepared amendments to the City’s Land Development Code (Title 21) to bring it into compliance with the current Utah Code.

Please refer to the attachments for further details on this topic.
