Woodstock offers five pre-approved plans for accessory homes

Woodstock homeowners exploring a smaller secondary residence can review five city-approved base designs through an accessory dwelling unit program adopted June 8.

Developed with Unity Architects, the program provides the base building plans without a design-plan fee. Options include one-story layouts and homes above two-car garages. The city says the plans have already received structural, architectural and zoning review.

Using a pre-approved design does not eliminate the need for a permit or site-specific review. The city says applicants must provide a House Location Plan prepared by a licensed surveyor, engineer or architect.

Residents should discuss their property and any desired design changes with Community Development before commissioning work. The Building Permits and Licensing Office can provide the plan sets and explain the current application requirements.
