The purpose and objective of the accessory apartment ordinance is to meet community demands for residential accommodations for extended family residents with reasonable limitations on their use and impact on neighboring properties and neighborhoods. These provisions are intended to provide flexibility for the changes in household size associated with life cycle, to offer financial security for home buyers, to provide housing for farm employees, to offer security against problems associated with frailty, and to promote conservation of resources for other reasons determined by the homeowner.
