MILLCREEK. Tiny homes are a trend that is exploding in the marketplace. A tiny home is a form of accessory dwelling unit (ADU), a type of housing, like a mother-in-law apartment, that has caused much controversy around the country, and recently, in our neighbor to the north.

City Council Mon., 03/12/18 According to one researcher, "there is compelling, if early, evidence that ADUs benefit the community in the areas of environmental impact, reduction in car use, and a non-institutionalized style of affordable housing." Martin John Brown, Summing up ADU Research, 9/17/14 Do we want tiny homes in Millcreek? Mother-in- law apartments in basements or over garages? Shipping container guest houses? There is much chatter on the internet about the pros and cons of ADUs. Click here and here for a small sampling of the discussion. In its most recent action on the issue, the Salt Lake City Council sent its proposal for mother-in- law apartments back to its planners for more work. See Not in My (Neighbor's) Backyard: SLC Leaders Give in to East Side Opponents, Salt Lake Tribune, 12/3/17. Click here for more information on Salt Lake City's experience with this issue. Over the past few months, our planning staff has received numerous inquires from Millcreek residents seeking to add ADUs to their properties. Millcreek zoning laws currently don't allow ADUs. Do we want that to change? There's no specific proposal on the table, but this is one of the many issues on which the City is gathering public input. What about transportation improvements? A future town center? Where should we be encouraging redevelopment and investment? Last year during the summer and fall, we collected your opinions about what you love about Millcreek and what you would improve. Now we need your input on BIG IDEAS and help to make the BIG CHOICES. These choices will determine our City going to look like in the next 10 to 20 years.Three public workshops this month present terrific opportunities for you to weigh in.
