- The City Council passed legislation giving a six-month timeframe for agencies like the Department of Buildings and DEP to develop rules and regulations
- ADU regulations are expected to be released in the summer, approximately six months from when the legislation was passed
- The regulations will include guidelines for homeowners wishing to construct ADUs

We appreciate very much the council's interest in giving homeowners the opportunity to add ADUs to their property.

I will remind the council that when you pass City of Yes for housing, you also pass some accompanying legislation that gave a specific time frame for those rules and regulations from the Department of Buildings and other agencies like DEP for flood maps and also for how to get this done.

It was a six month time horizon, so I expect you will see those this summer.
0:40:45
The precise date, whatever, is six months.

So it's coming soon.
