The Mentelle Neighborhood Association board has authorized creation of a committee, headed by Aurora Avenue resident Jim Ryder, to study a controversial proposal by the city’s Division of Planning to allow “auxiliary dwelling units” — or ADUs — in single-family homes and on residential lots. Separately, but related, there has been discussion among neighborhoods and Urban County Council members about the regulation of Airbnbs and other short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods.
The committee will study these issues, gather and disseminate information about how these issues and proposals may affect our neighborhood, and make recommendations to the MNA board.
If you are interested in joining this committee or helping with the research, please contact Jim at jimryder1950@gmail.com.
As part of this effort, there is a new page on the MNA website with information, resources and news coverage about these issues. Read it by clicking here.
