Internal ADU

Permitted. No separate utility meters. Parking lost to a garage conversion must be replaced on site.

Detached ADU

Not currently permitted under city code. From October 1, 2026, lots of 11,000 sf or larger with a house must be able to take a detached ADU as a permitted use. Confirm the implementing ordinance with planning.

Internal: confirm; 6,000 sf is the usual state-allowed minimum. Detached (from Oct 1, 2026): 11,000 sf or larger.

Size

Internal: no state size cap. A future detached unit cannot exceed the primary dwelling.

Parking

One ADU stall. Replace parking if a garage is converted.

Owner occupancy

Required. You cannot rent both the main house and the ADU as if neither were owner-occupied.
