2.2.5 Accessory Dwelling Unit Support Survey Question 9: Should the City do more to encourage Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs/second units) on single family properties, provided that they are designed to minimize neighbor impacts? If so, how? Ans,,,vercd:610 SkiPhed: 1=' This survey question prompted respondents to answer "yes" or "no" to a question as to whether the City should do more to encourage ADUs, and if so how. If respondents chose "yes" they had the option to provide an open-ended response on how the City could better encourage ADUs. Most respondents believe that the City of Pleasanton should not do more to encourage ADUs on single family properties (60.82%), with 39.18% believing Pleasanton should encourage ADUs. This split runs slightly counter to the results received in Question 8, where the majority of participants agreed that ADUs could provide more housing opportunities, possibly suggesting a concern about the impacts of ADUs in neighborhoods despite the fact that they may help to meet housing needs. For those respondents who indicated that ADUs should be encouraged, an opportunity was provided to indicate how this should occur. Of those responses (241 responses), the following themes emerged for how the City could encourage or incentivize ADU construction: • More streamlined permitting and approval process (39 mentions) • Pre -approved ADU designs (19 mentions) • Reduced Permitting Fees (15 mentions) • Tax incentives (14 mentions) • Allow 2nd -story ADU's or ADU's above detached garages (7 mentions) Table 13 — Question 9 Question 9: Should the City do more to encourage Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs/second units) on single family properties, provided that they are designed to minimize neighbor impacts?
