ADU/JADU Regulation Update (Text Amendment No. 44)

Ordinance 1220 rewrites the city's accessory dwelling unit rules to comply with state law, covering design matching, separate entrances, height allowances near transit, and a declaration that ADUs don't count against residential growth limits. It could make it easier for homeowners to add backyard homes.
