Edina City Council greenlights ADU ordinance | Edina | hometownsource.com – ECM Publishers

The Edina City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to be built on plots with single-family homes.

Before the vote April 16, Community Development Coordinator Addison Lewis discussed how existing city regulations would impact the development of ADUs. He pointed to Edina’s tree protection ordinance, which may deter property owners from removing trees to construct a detached unit; impervious surface requirements and building coverage limits.
