CYPRESS : City OKs 2nd-Unit Additions to Lots
The City Council this week gave preliminary approval to an ordinance that will allow second units to be added to residential lots.
Under the ordinance, any of the city’s 9,054 single-family residences might be allowed to add an extra unit to the property. The units must be occupied by family of the owner.
The second units might not be allowed in areas where parking is too limited or where lots are too small.
After city planners come up with recommendations regarding lot size, potential traffic problems and possible restrictions, the council will consider taking final action on the ordinance, officials said.
