This hyperbole website explains how the Fredericksburg Neighborhood Coalition alleges that the city council is hiding ADU agenda. Accessory dwelling units are secondary houses or apartments that share the lot of a larger, primary residence that they cannot be bought or sold separately from. They call the Fredericksburg City Council’s proposed ordinance a “grave threat” to the character and charm of the city’s neighborhoods. The Fredericksburg Neighborhood Coalition calls on residents opposed to the ADU ordinance to get involved, make public comments, contact members of the Planning Commission and City Council.
This is an article from the Free Lance Star guest column where a member of the coalition is discussing how they put signs up around town opposing the city’s proposed ordinance. This ordinance is allowing an apartment, called an (AUD), to be added to most single-family detached homes. This website helped me evaluate the site because if a real person is posting through the local news paper about the signs they have been putting up and the issues they have been trying to resolve it makes the website more credible.
