Lindon City Code 17.46.100, as amended by Ordinance 2026-16-O on September 21, 2026, sets conditions that include these.

• An internal ADU created within the home and its footprint at the time, for a long-term rental of 30 consecutive days or longer
• An ADU only with an owner-occupied single-family home, meaning one the owner lives in as a primary residence, and never with one approved as part of an R2 overlay project
• No internal ADU on a lot of 6,000 square feet or less, or in the AFPD, R3, and Planned Residential Development Overlay zones shown on the Lindon City Accessory Dwelling Unit Map, apart from mapped lots with final plat approval dated on or after October 1, 2021, that comply with the land use regulations
• A detached ADU on any lot of 11,000 square feet or larger with a single-family home that is a permitted use and complies with the land use, building, health, and fire codes, and a legally constructed accessory structure converted to one under an approved building permit, meeting the same codes
• One ADU for each owner-occupied single-family home
• For an internal ADU, one off-street stall beyond the home's two, with garage or carport stalls the home uses not counted unless the garage is sized for more than two vehicles and keeps an accessible route to the unit
• The internal ADU's stall outside the front setback, on a dustless hard surface such as asphalt, concrete, compacted gravel, masonry, or concrete pavers, with a path to it from the unit's entrance
• Any garage or carport stall lost to an internal ADU replaced
• For a detached ADU, beyond the home's own parking, one on-site stall for a unit of 650 square feet or less and two for a unit of 650 square feet or more, with garage or carport stalls counted under the same rule as for an internal ADU
• No more than one of a detached unit's stalls in the front yard setback, and tandem parking in a side yard, which may be acceptable for the required parking
• The same hard surface and path to a detached unit's stalls as for an internal ADU
• No size limit on an internal ADU, and a detached ADU of at least 300 square feet with no more than three bedrooms
• Construction to the building, fire, and health codes in effect at the time, with the exceptions in Utah Code Title 15A, Chapter 3
• The lot coverage limits of City Code Section 17.44.120 and the zone
• A unit in a garage or accessory building joined to the house by a covered walkway, breezeway, or porch within 18 feet of it, foundation to foundation, limited to 60 percent of the home's livable floor area and never over 1,200 square feet, with parking at the detached ratio
• The address posted where it can be seen from the public street
• Owner occupancy of one of the two dwellings, with the ADU never sold separately or subdivided from the home
• A detached unit of no more than two stories above grade, and no taller than the home or 30 feet
• A detached unit within the zone setbacks for the primary dwelling and at least 10 feet farther from the home's street-facing facade than that dwelling's required setback
• On a corner lot, a detached unit in the street-side yard set back 10 feet farther than the home's street-facing facade, with no added setback within that yard
• Setbacks for a detached unit with a second-story deck measured from the edge of the deck
• On a lot deeper than 250 feet, a detached unit that may be allowed in the front yard, with the home's front, rear, and side setbacks and 60 feet of separation from the home
• A detached unit that may be attached to or form part of other accessory structures
• A detached unit of no more than 1,500 square feet or 40 percent of the home, whichever is less, counting the livable floor area of both stories; any stair to a second story built inside unless the building code requires one outside; and a unit connected to or built above a garage given an entrance separate from the garage area
• An internal ADU that does not change the home's appearance as a single-family dwelling, and a detached unit designed consistent with the home
• Utilities to a detached unit run through the home's service lines, with added meters, laterals, or secondary hookups only where the Public Works Director approves them because serving the unit through the existing laterals is not feasible or would cause significant hardship
