City of Grand Junction - Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Workshop

The City of Grand Junction hosts free ADU workshops to educate property owners and developers about building accessory dwelling units.
About this Event

The City of Grand Junction hosts free ADU workshops to educate property owners and developers about building accessory dwelling units (ADUs) — smaller, independent living spaces on the same lot as a single-family home. These workshops are part of the City’s broader housing strategy to increase affordable housing options and support ADU development in the community.

The workshops generally include:

• Overview of the City’s ADU Toolkit – step-by-step guidance on planning, permits, zoning, design, and construction for ADUs.
• Details about the Planning Process – how to submit a planning clearance application and navigate local regulations for ADU development.
• Information on the ADU Production Program – incentives available when developers commit to long-term rentals.
• Networking and Q&A – opportunities to learn from city staff, local builders, lenders, and building department representatives (noted specifically for the most recent 2025 workshop).
