1. The City & ACHD (Ada County Highway District) would not allow for multiple curb cuts/access into a lot. I see that you’ve proposed a second access into the back of the property. ADU’s do not require to provide additional parking.2. Code does not allow for gravel to be used as a material. Code allows for wheel strips, pavers, or other hard surfaces.
