Planners Gathering: Accessory Dwelling Units

  • Date: 06/14/2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM  

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are being touted as an affordable and logical option to meet demand for additional housing in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Often referred to generically as “Granny Flats,” they can provide a broader housing design and market alternative. What has been the municipal experience with ADUs in Michigan? Join us as we hear from our planning colleagues in Ann Arbor and Traverse City about their successes and challenges with ADUs.

SPEAKER

Shawn Winter, Planning Director, Traverse City

Chris Cheng, AICP, City Planner, City of Ann Arbor
