Ok. Not everything. However, as I’ve gotten many questions about sidewalks, I thought I would share answers to some of the most common queries.

At the October meeting, City Council approved a series of changes to the zoning code in Blue Ash. While there were a number of issues addressed (see blog about the proposal here, see full text here starting on page four), I’m most excited about allowing one Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU) on each owner-occupied residential property. As I wrote before Council considered the proposal:

An ADU can be part of the main house’s structure (think basement apartment) or detached (think the over-the-garage apartment that the Fonz lived in). The benefit of ADUs include allowing residents to make income from their property while providing needed housing for people who are in a season of life where they can’t yet or no longer wish to occupy an entire house.”

The Blue Ash City Council will continue the process of considering changes to the zoning code at their meeting on Thursday. In case it hasn’t come to your attention, the Council proposed edits to the code earlier this year and the Planning Commission has approved them with some amendments. The next step will be a public hearing and two readings at Council meetings before an eventual vote by Council.
