The City of Fredericksburg has been conducting a community process to develop an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance to help expand housing options and affordability in neighborhoods throughout Fredericksburg. With citizen input, the process will shape the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance that permit the construction of ADUs.
Over the last three months, 16 community meetings, neighborhood meetings, and public hearings were held to have a rounded discussion on this topic. The public input gathered shaped both the analysis completed as part of the process and the final recommendation made by the Planning Commission to City Council on May 10, 2023. The Council will hold a Public Hearing on June 27, 2023 at 7:30pm.
