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.

But wait! Before life gets too serious and scheduled and structured, let’s take a moment to talk about play.Many of us consider play something we (or our kids) get to do when, and only when, all of the “important” things in life are completed. But consider this: All humans—in fact, all mammals—have a fundamental, inborn need for fun, lighthearted enjoyment and playful activities.
