Speaker(s):

  • Edward Morrow, MPC representative

Ald. Purtee moved to close the zoning hearing for agenda item #9, seconded by Ald. Palumbo and Ald. Miller Blakely.  The motion passed unanimously, 9-0-0.  

Ald. Wilder-Bryan asked the following questions to Mr. Morrow, to which he replied:

  • When we pass these things, how is it going to affect what is going on in the third district?
  • When it comes to our districts, will anybody who has a setback, get retro, or will it be as is?
  • When we find instances that do not go with the zoning we already have in place, how is this going to be filtered in? 
  • Should we bring this to the third district?

Ald. Leggett asked what the parking requirement is going to be for an ADU if it is already an existing building on the space, and does the parking requirement remain the same for the existing house?  Mr. Morrow responded.  Ald. Leggett stated that, so, by having this, it is correct that they will cause a hardship on the community if they have an accessory dwelling with more bedroom space, and if they have guests, and their guests are subject to parking on the street, which would take away parking from the residents. Mr. Morrow replied by stating, potentially, that could be the case, but again, the planning commission is asking that this board add variance criteria so if additional bedrooms are to be granted, factors like those just mentioned could be taken into consideration.

Ald. Leggett asked City Manager Melder, before Council votes on this, would it be permissible for the Council to add edits to it, or is it a living document that the Council could continue to edit with our current ordinances?  Ald. Leggett also expressed his concern regarding accessory dwellings becoming short-term vacation rentals.   He asked if the Council could have a workshop on short-term vacation rentals and Airbnbs. (Yes, absolutely.)  Ald. Leggett stated that there are a lot of ADUs that are being constructed, and they are not permitted.  He further stated that the initial permit may state they are building a garage, but actually, they are building a garage with an accessory dwelling on top of it.  Ald. Leggett stated he would like someone to look into these plans as they come up.  He stated he wanted to make sure we have a way of keeping people in compliance when we are at this point.

Mayor Johnson stated that if people are doing it now (building ADUs without permits) and there is no ordinance, he stated his concern would be whether we are issuing stop work orders, and hopefully, our teams are in the streets asking those questions.

Ald. Wilder-Bryan stated we are allowing people to put these houses in smaller spaces, but when we make these rules, we forget about the people who are actually living there and how it affects them and their addresses.  She asked how we are going to determine who gets the main address.  Ald. Wilder-Bryan stated on New York Street, three houses have been placed between two fixed addresses, and she thinks this is going to be part of the course as we continue to develop houses and neighborhoods.  She asked how we are going to fix that.  Mr. Morrow responded.

Ald. Bell stated that she was a little concerned about this particular amendment having a negative impact on some of our neighborhoods as it relates to parking requirements.  She stated she is not stating she is against it because of that, but she thinks we need to be made aware that it could cause problems.

Ald. Lanier stated she wanted to receive some clarity and asked Mr. Morrow the following questions:

  • If the Council is dealing with the size (of the ADUs).  She stated we were at one bedroom, and so now, you can file a variance to get the two-bedroom ADU?  
  • What is the difference in the setbacks because it was already restricted?
  • There were some concerns about the ADU not exceeding the height of the main structure. Has that changed?   

Ald. Wilder-Bryan asked if the Council could put something in writing that states that these ADUs cannot be converted into STVRs.  City Manager Melder stated that short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) are governed by the short-term vacation rental ordinance, which has caps on each community by pin.  Ald. Wilder-Bryan stated she would love to have an ordinance that says you cannot turn an ADU into a short-term vacation rental.                             

Ald. Bell stated that they are already governed as to where they can go.  She stated she knows that there are illegal ones, but she also thinks the city is doing a better job of identifying those illegal ones by spotting them through advertising.  

Ald. Palumbo stated this is a process that has gone on for a couple of years.  He stated he remembered we took a more cautious approach originally, and it was more restrictive to try to ease into accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to make sure we did not have an ADU apocalypse.  Ald. Palumbo stated that what we found was that it has been a slow incremental change, and we are back to square one with the same discussion.  He stated it was prescient that we address this right after the adoption of our strategic plan because we want to have an equitable approach to our city.  Ald. Palumbo stated that the ADUs have been a privilege for the select few in Savannah from the 1940s up until we adopted this provision in 2024 or 2023.  He stated he welcomes this and thanked staff for remembering and bringing it back, the team for doing their hard work and diligence, and Council for taking a deliberate approach to be able to bring this forward.
