Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is an attached or detached dwelling unit located on a lot which contains a single-family or multi-family dwelling. It shall include provisions for living, eating, sleeping, cooking, and sanitation. An ADU may include an efficiency unit or manufactured home, but is not considered an accessory building.
A Junior ADU is no more than 500 sq. ft. in size and is contained entirely within an existing single-family structure. A junior ADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure.
