ADU zoning legislation

Opposed: moved here 38 years ago for the park-like setting; worries about people and cars in backyards, investor-owned homes, and weak enforcement; says 645 survey responses aren't enough input.

Supportive: she and her husband run midterm rentals and say temporary stays bring visitors who fall in love with the city; she'd convert her garage into an ADU.

Supportive with one objection: the architect backs ADUs for aging in place but wants the design-standards section removed, saying design shouldn't be dictated by ordinance.

Opposed/concerned: moved from Brooklyn for low density; says waiving parking is imprudent based on ADU experience in Washington state, and urges a 30-day minimum stay to avoid Airbnb problems.

Supportive: ADUs fit Cleveland Heights' transitional, inner-ring character; code enforcement issues shouldn't stop a smart move — pursue concurrent enforcement improvements.

Mostly supportive, with a question: what happens to the owner-occupancy requirement when a property with an ADU is sold?

Opposed: raises unanswered questions on taxes, fire access, and green space; says the city's poor enforcement record and street conditions make more backyard structures a terrible idea.

Supportive: grew up in multigenerational housing; ADUs support every life stage from first-time buyers to aging in place, and her street's tenants own few cars, easing parking fears.
