the MetCouncil's position on accessory
housing
The Metropolitan Council supports the construction and
increased availability of accessory housing. The Metropolitan
Council's 1985 Development Guide advocates for the wider
use of these structures and for the adoption of more flexible
city zoning ordinances to allow their construction. It reads:
"Adding separate living units in existing single family
homes, called 'accessory housing', is one way of making
better use of existing housing ..."
"Policy 2: ... Cities should adopt ordinances that
allow accessory housing as a realistic option to help meet
their housing needs."
