A proposal to legalize accessory dwelling units (ADUs) citywide without requiring zoning changes was “deferred and published” during Wednesday’s City Council meeting, delaying a final vote until at least September.

A compromise ordinance (O2025-0016750) from Ald. Bennet Lawson (44) was scheduled for a vote after the Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards approved the ordinance Tuesday, but opponents Ald. Marty Quinn (13) and Ald. Greg Mitchell (7) successfully moved to stall the measure.
