A second, small home on a city lot: Conference examines Portland's position on tiny houses (photos and video) Speakers at the Build Small, Live Large Summit on Friday, Nov. 6, praised and criticized the City of Portland for its laws governing affordable housing, especially small, second dwellings sharing a lot with an existing standard-size house.
"Portland is a leader in the country in the emancipation of ADUs (accessory dwelling units)," small house advocate Alan Durning told a sold-out crowd of 500 conference goers at Portland State University's Smith Memorial Student Union. The number of permits to convert garages, attics and basements into self-contained apartments as well as build detached cottages has spiked since the city waived system development costs in 2010, shaving $8,000 or more off building costs. Conference goers applauded speakers explaining the city's position that make ADUs legal in most single-family zones and does not require separate off-street parking or for the owner to live on the property. "Portland has 148,000 single-family lots," Durning said. -- Janet Eastman.
