(WETM) — The Elmira City Council voted on an amended resolution regarding Accessory Dwelling Units in the City. It will now be sent over to the city’s planning commission.Accessory Dwelling Units are a secondary housing units attached to a primary residence. It is typically used for the elderly, or caregivers for the elderly. This has been sent to the city’s planning commission before. This time around, there had to be some changes to the resolution. The changes had to clarify the two different regulatory environments within the city. That’s because downtown operates on form-based codes, and the rest of the city operates with traditional zoning.“This is also an opportunity for Gen Z. Which is priced out of the housing market right now by predatory actors and high mortgage rates,” said Gary Brinn, the 4th District Councilmember for the Elmira City Council. “It’s really a win-win for a city that’s desperately in need of more housing units. We estimate we are short by something like 500 housing units at this time.”Accessory Dwelling Units can also be leased out as rental properties. The resolution still has to go through the city’s planning commission, and the Chemung County Planning Board. The councils next meeting will be on September 7, at 5:30 p.m.</div></body>
