Accessory Dwelling Units
An ADU is an accessory dwelling unit, that is a living space that is an accessory to a primary or principal dwelling. ADUs can be attached (internal to the home) or detached (in an accessary structure like a garage. This may include interior upper-level units, interior lower-level units, above-garage units, and garage conversions. ADUs are intended to create additional living space that may be rented out as traditional, year-long, rentals or for shorter time periods.
