The Accessory Dwelling Unit Production Program (APP) is intended
to respond to a generalized shortage of affordable housing in Grand
Junction as determined to exist by the City’s 2021 Housing Needs
Assessment. The APP will, as provided in this chapter, incentivize
and support the construction or build-out of ADUs on lots with a single-family
(attached or detached) or two-family use.
The construction, and in turn increased availability, of ADUs
within the City will contribute to alleviating the known shortage
of affordable housing. Such dwellings are often referred to as naturally
occurring affordable housing (NOAH), which when constructed will benefit
the City and promote the health, safety, and welfare of inhabitants
of the City.
