Housing Amendments Remove Barriers to Housing Production in Unincorporated County
The changes, approved by the Board of Supervisors September 12, include allowing every residential property to build both an Accessory Dwelling Unit and a Junior Accessory Dwelling unit as long as septic capacity allows. An ADU, also known as a granny unit, is usually smaller than the main home and legally part of the same property. A JADU is a smaller type of ADU, up to 500-square-feet within a home with its own entrance. The changes go into effect October 13.
