North Ogden

Confirm detached with the city

North Ogden already regulates accessory dwellings in §11-9M-9. Ordinance 2026-25, which would set the detached lot size at the state’s 11,000 square feet and clarify the hillside zones, was postponed on August 25, 2026. We have not found a later recorded vote. State law now requires a permitted detached unit on a qualifying lot whether or not that ordinance has passed. The printed code we can still read allows a detached unit over a garage, in the rear yard, on a lot of at least 20,000 square feet. On a lot between 11,000 and 20,000 square feet, the statute controls and the 20,000 figure does not.

Internal ADU

Permitted in most residential zones under House Bill 82.

Detached ADU

Confirm the current lot size, height, and coverage in §11-9M-9. On a lot of 11,000 square feet or larger with a permitted house, a conditional-use requirement would conflict with state law.

Lot

State floor, now in effect: 11,000 square feet with a permitted house. The postponed ordinance was meant to write that number into the local code, including the HP-1, HP-2, and HP-3 zones.

Size

Per ordinance. The city may limit size and may require that the unit not exceed the house.

Parking

Per ordinance, and not more than the state cap: one stall under 650 square feet, two at 650 and above.

Owner occupancy

Owner occupancy is typical. Confirm.

Rental

Long-term occupancy is the usual rule.

Design

Bench lots can be steep. Setbacks, height, and coverage remain local; grade is often the real limit.
