accessory dwelling units
AARP Kentucky is proud to have championed new Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinances in Lexington and Louisville. Both new ordinances now allow people to create additional living spaces so they can live with their family as they age.
In October 2021, the Urban County Council approved updated regulations allowing small dwelling units of up to 800 square feet on all urban, single-family residential lots in Lexington.
New ordinances passed in Louisville and Lexington last year, with the support of AARP Kentucky, are making it easier for residents to build convenient housing options known as accessory dwelling units, or ADUs.
The Louisville is updating zoning codes to create more affordable housing in Jefferson County. AARP members are encouraged to contact their Louisville Metro Council member in support of zoning updates to Accessory Dwelling Units.
Community Conversation open to public on March 16 at 6:00 p.m. EST. Local housing and community organizations with will answer questions from Jefferson County residents and discuss recommendations for proposed reforms.
