that really reduces not just the cost, because it costs thousands of dollars in designing fees, but also saves time.

So I think when we have pre-approved templates, that will help with overall process, and I think that's a great way to incentivize building of more ADUs, which helps us with affordable housing crisis.

I was reading the ADU and how you are having

requirements around square footage, which is certainly more lenient than what we had earlier, which is great because especially when you look at neighborhoods closer to uptown where you have smaller units, so this will really help if they want to build ADU in the back where the main house is only 1,000 square feet or less.

I really appreciate the staff's work in coming up with this proposal, which will help us with building bigger ADUs, though less than 1,000 square feet, but still.

Are we making any updates in the approval process?

Because I know other cities have done that, where approvals for ADUs has been streamlined.

Have we looked at that, or would that come down the pipe later on?

So it's good to hear that there is collaboration underway, but I think I believe that having streamlined process would be helpful because municipalities across the nation have done that to really incentivize ADU constructions.

So would that be something that will come in front of the council for an approval?

Yeah.

Whatever we can do to not have homeowners jump through, because they are not experts in building ADUs, right?

And I think if you want to incentivize more of it, we've got to figure out a way.

I mean, cities across the nations have done that.

where it doesn't take months to have to get a permit for ADU.

So if we can find a way to do that sooner, that would help with our affordable housing crisis.

That's all I have.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, say that again?

I haven't seen this, at least in the last 10 years.
