In Episode 61 of The Princeton Podcast, Mayor Mark Freda welcomes Derek Bridger, Princeton Zoning Officer to discuss the important and timely topic of Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs.
Mark and Derek explore how ADUs offer new housing options in Princeton, supporting affordability, aging in place, and the “missing middle” in our fully developed housing market. Derek explains the positive impacts ADUs can have, such as providing rental income and broadening the town’s housing diversity, while also addressing residents’ concerns about neighborhood density, construction impacts, and zoning complexities. They dive into the regulations surrounding ADU size, setbacks, parking, and stormwater management, and how Princeton’s evolving ordinances are adapting to the needs of the community.
Whether you’re a homeowner curious about adding an ADU or just interested in Princeton’s growth strategies, this conversation offers valuable insights into one of our town’s most talked-about topics.
