Title: Workshop: Preliminary Framework for Regulating Cottages on Wheels (LR26-001)
Summary
The City of Sacramento is developing a preliminary framework to regulate "Cottages on Wheels" (COWs), which are movable tiny homes intended for use as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on residential properties. This initiative aligns with the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, which plans to add 45,580 housing units by 2029 to support diverse income levels. The proposed ordinance would permit COWs in specific residential zones (R-1, R-1A, R-1B, and R-2), limit the number to one per lot, and establish a review process for compliance with design and safety standards. This legislative move aims to expand housing options, promote sustainability, and enhance equitable access to housing in
