Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Standard Updates
The city updated its ADU rules to clarify foundation requirements for tiny homes and restrict backyard impervious surfaces to 25% to help manage stormwater runoff.
Land Use Dispute
A Clinton resident is suing the city because officials stalled a petition trying to block a new townhome project. It's a classic clash over local growth and how much say neighbors actually have.
