ORD 2025-007: Amending Seward City Code §15.10.140 definition of an efficiency
apartment; §15.10.226 Land Uses Allowed Table, adding attached and detached
accessory dwelling units; and updating §15.10.215 Parking for accessory dwelling
units
I move to amend the definition of a Detached accessory dwelling unit to:
• Strike the word "new" in the first line and the word "property" in the fourth
line
• Add "portion of land" in place of the word "property"
• Add "according to Table 15.10.222 development requirements" in
parentheses "and the DADU would not be located on the same parcel as the
primary dwelling should such subdivision occur" to the end of the definition
Detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU). A new stand-alone structure or
converted portion of an existing stand-alone accessory structure into a dwelling
unit. The DADU must be connected to its own water, sewer, and electric lines
separate from the primary dwelling if the property portion of land on which the
DADU is being built has the potential to be subdivided (according to Table
15.10.222 development requirements) and the DADU would not be located on
the same parcel as the primary dwelling should such subdivision occur.
Revised Definition:
Detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU). A stand-alone structure or converted portion of an
existing stand-alone accessory structure into a dwelling unit. The DADU must be connected to
its own water, sewer, and electric lines separate from the primary dwelling if the portion of
land on which the DADU is being built has the potential to be subdivided (according to Table
15.10.222 development requirements) and the DADU would not be located on the same parcel
as the primary dwelling should such subdivision occur.
