Chat comments:
from D. Scott Little to everyone: 7:41 PM
If an Owner decides, what right should neighbors have when a developer buys a house to knock it
down and build two condos above a small office? The developer is making his decisions to make
maximum profit. He does not live in the Township and does not really care about the Township.
from Chris Commissioner Spagnuolo to everyone: 7:46 PM
Doing such a thing would require a rezone of the parcel, going through the entire rezoning process
with full public input, and ultimately approved or not approved by the MT Council.
from Chris Commissioner Spagnuolo to everyone: 7:47 PM
Creating or changing what exactly is permitted in a zone is something else the Council would decide
with public input.

Re: OAM2021- 000272 – Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance
In late 2020, the MSD Staff along with the White City Council began discussing how to address
accessory dwelling units as they were identified within the Moderate-Income Housing Plan (MIH)
adopted by White City as a part of its general plan. As those discussions progressed, planning
staff and legal counsel were notified that the Utah State Legislature would be adding additional
requirements during the 2021 session, so work was put on hold until the new requirements were
clear allowing for the code to be updated . The legislature addressed Internal Accessory Dwelling
Units (IADUs), within the recently passed HB-82. The bill allows for IADUs broadly throughout
residential zones and limits what types of controls local municipalities can put in place to restrict
them. Following passage of the bill, MSD Staff, and a committee including Council members and
legal counsel was formed to work on refining the earlier draft to meet the new requirements in
State Code.
The attached draft ordinance includes regulations allowed by HB-82. In summary the ordinance
includes the following:
• Allows for IADUs on single-family residential lots of 6,000 square feet or larger.
• Excludes the A-1, A-2 and R-1-21 zones from allowing IADUs.
• Limits IADUs to two bedrooms.
• Adds additional parking requirements for IADUs.
• Requires dwellings with IADUs to be owner occupied.
• Limits each lot to a single IADU.
• Adds design and safety requirements for IADUs.
• Requires all owners of IADUs to obtain a business license.
• Sets procedures for recording of notices on IADUs so compliance can be enforced
per HB-82.
• Prohibits the use of IADUs as a short-term rental.

msd.utah.govSECTION I. The amendments made here are designated by underlining the new
substituted words. Words being deleted are designated by brackets and interlineations.
SECTION II. Chapter 19.15 of the White City Code of Ordinances is enacted as follows
in order to authorize accessory dwelling units in certain residential zones and to enact related
regulations.
19.15.010 Purpose.
White City recognizes that Accessory Dwelling Units in single-family residential zones can be an
important tool in the overall housing plan for White City. The purposes of the Accessory Dwelling
Unit standards of this code are to:
A. Allow opportunities for property owners to provide social or personal support for family
members where independent living is desirable;
B. Provide for affordable housing opportunities;
C. Make housing units available to moderate income people who might otherwise have
difficulty finding housing in White City;
D. Provide opportunities for additional income to offset rising housing costs;
E. Develop housing units in single-family neighborhoods that are appropriate for people at
a variety of stages in the life cycle;
F. Preserve the character of single-family neighborhoods by providing standards governing
development of Accessory Dwelling Units; and
G. Ensure that Accessory Dwelling Units are properly regulated by requiring property
owners to obtain a business license and a building permit for an ADU prior to renting the ADU.
19.15.020 Definitions.
"Internal accessory dwelling unit" means an accessory dwelling unit created:
1A. within a primary dwelling;
B. within the footprint of the primary dwelling at the time the internal accessory dwelling
unit is created; and
C. for the purpose of offering a long-term rental of 30 consecutive days or longer.
“Owner Occupancy” means a property where the property owner, as reflected in title records,
makes his or her legal residence at the site, as evidenced by voter registration, vehicle registration,
driver's license, county assessor records or similar means.
"Primary dwelling" means a single-family dwelling that is detached and is occupied as the primary
residence of the owner of record.
19.15.030 Allowed areas and zones.
a. ADUs incorporated within a single-family residence shall be a permitted use on single
family home lots in primarily residential zones that require 6,000 square foot minimum lot
sizes or greater.
b. IADUs shall not be permitted in A-1, A-2 or R-1-21 zones. State code allows for exclusion
of up to 25% of the total residential area from the IADU requirements which these zones
are under.
c. In no case shall an ADU be permitted in a townhome, a multi-family PUD or other attached
unit type, or on any lot that cannot satisfy parking, setback, or lot coverage requirements.
19.15.040 Number of residents.
ADUs shall not be occupied by more than four persons.
19.15.050 Setbacks.
Setbacks on all IADUs shall be consistent with setbacks for a single-family dwelling in the zone.
19.15.060 Parking requirements.
2In addition to the required parking for the existing home, the property owner must demonstrate
that one (1) on-site parking space is available for an IADU. A property owner bears the burden of
showing by a preponderance of the evidence that sufficient parking is available. In cases where
garage conversions are done to create an IADU, replacement on-site parking spaces are required
for the primary dwelling in a number equal to the parking spaces eliminated by such IADU.
19.15.070 Lot coverage.
Lot coverage maximums as outlined per each zone. Any additions to an existing building shall
comply with Section 19.15.050 and except as provided in that section, shall not exceed the
allowable lot or rear yard coverage standard for the underlying zone.
19.15.080 – Owner occupancy.
The primary dwelling or the IADU must have owner occupancy. An application for an ADU shall
include evidence of owner occupancy.
19.15.090 – Number of ADUs per lot.
Only one ADU is allowed per lot.
19.15.100 – ADU design standards.
A. An approved building permit is required for all IADUs before an IADU is constructed,
and all other applicable provisions of this chapter and the White City Code must be met
before an IADU can be rented. Existing non-compliant IADUs may come into
compliance by receiving a permit and verifying existing work was done according to
code.
B. The design and size of an IADU shall conform to all applicable building, fire, and
health codes, including applicable water service requirements.
3C. Conversions of an existing space to an IADU will require compliance with safety
requirements per building code including, but not limited to, egress windows with
window wells in case of emergency, and sufficient HVAC and climate control for the
ADU.
D. IADUs will not require a separate HVAC or firewall.
E. Owner shall provide a separate address marking for emergency services and mailing
services.
F. Single family residences with an IADU shall retain the same appearance as a single-
family residence.
19.15.110: Affidavit and Notice of Accessory Dwelling Unit
Applicants for ADUs shall provide an affidavit stating that the owner of the property will live in
either the primary or ADU as their permanent residence. Upon approval of the ADU by the
building official, and upon the issuance of a business license pursuant to Section 19.15.130, a
Notice of Accessory Dwelling Unit including the affidavit shall be recorded against the property
to provide notice to a future owner of the owner occupancy requirement for the ADU. Upon sale
of the property, the new owner shall be required to sign and record a new affidavit and secure
reauthorization of the ADU by the building and business license officials. A copy of the recorded
notice will be provided to the applicant when completed.
19.15.120: Business licensing.
Prior to renting out any ADU, a business license must be obtained. That license must be maintained
as long as the unit is rented out.
19.15.130: Multi-Family use of ADUs prohibited.
4A. ADUs are part of a single-family residence and shall not be used as a multi-family
residence.
B. ADUs may not be separately metered apart from the single-family residence.
C. ADUs may not be sold or subdivided separately from the single-family residence.
19.15.140: Short-term rental use prohibited.
Units approved as IADUs shall not be used as short-term rentals. Any rentals shall be made for 30
consecutive days or more.
19.15.150 Variances.
The land use hearing officer may grant variances to the standards of this chapter in accordance
with section 19.92.040. The land use hearing officer may not grant a variance from Building Code
requirements, owner occupancy provisions, lot square footage requirements, or the number of units
allowed per lot.
SECTION III. This ordinance shall become effective fifteen days after its passage and
upon at least one publication of the ordinance, or a summary thereof, in a newspaper published
and having general circulation in White City.
