pursuant to Government Code Section 66310-66324. In the CPO, C-2, CH, CT, and M-1 zones, ADUs are permitted by right only if the property has an existing or proposed single- or multi-family dwelling. JADUs are only permitted by right in R-1 zones. ADUs and JADUs are subject to the following requirements unless otherwise specified under Government Code Section 66332 A. The size of an attached ADU shall not exceed fifty percent of the existing primary dwelling living area, as long as the size limitation permits an ADU at least eight hundred square feet in size, at least sixteen feet in height with four-foot side and rear yard setbacks, and that can be constructed in compliance with all other local development standards. Maximum allowed size is one thousand two hundred square feet. JADUs shall not exceed five hundred square feet regardless of lot size. B. The dwelling unit is not intended for sale but may be rented for a period greater than thirty days. Short-term rental (thirty days or less) of these units is not allowed. The ADU or JADU shall not be sold separately from the primary dwelling unless the existing lot is divided into two or more lots consistent with city lot dimension and lot area standards resulting in the primary structure and ADU being on individual lots. Full separate utility connections for all habitable structures shall be a requirement of approval of the lot division. The dwelling unit can be sold with the involvement of qualified nonprofit housing organizations. C. The lot contains an existing or proposed single- or multi-family dwelling. D. The lot in which the use is proposed is in a zoning district which allows for single- or multi-family use. E. Owner-occupancy of the parcel is not a requirement to apply for the construction of an ADU or JADU. ADUs built after January 1, 2020 are not required to have owner occupancy. However, owner occupancy of the single-family residence in which a JADU will be permitted is required. The owner may occupy either the remaining area of the primary dwelling or the JADU. The recordation of a deed restriction, which shall run with the land, shall be filed with the permitting agency, and shall include both of the following: a. A prohibition on the sale of the JADU separate from the sale of the single-family residence, including a statement that the deed restriction may be enforced against future purchasers b. A restriction on the size and attributes of the JADU that conforms with this article. F.
