Amend city rules for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units
In Plain English
The city is updating its zoning laws that govern accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). ADUs are separate living spaces on the same property as a main house, like converted garages or backyard cottages. JADUs are smaller units created within existing homes. If approved, the changes could make it easier or harder for homeowners to build these units, affecting housing availability in the city.
