19.442.010 - Purpose.

The State of California has identified accessory dwelling units (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADU) as valuable forms of housing. Movable accessory dwelling units (MADUs) are also recognized throughout the State as a potential option to provide needed housing. The City recognizes the importance of providing housing and balancing that with an attractive living environment for all residents. The availability of ADUs, MADUs and JADUs contributes to local housing and the community's housing stock while providing residential uses consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code. The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure compliance with California Government Code Sections 65852.2 65852.22 and minimize impacts to surrounding uses and properties.
