Conversion of backyard outbuilding into 1-bedroom accessory dwelling approved
The city approved turning an existing 504-square-foot outbuilding on a lot with a house into a 1-bed, 1-bath rental unit. The building sits too close to the side property line, so it was also recognized as legally nonconforming. Approval came June 16.
