The purposes of the ADU standards of this code are to: A. Allow opportunities for property owners to provide social or personal support for family members where independent living is desirable; B. Provide for affordable housing opportunities; C. Make housing units available to moderate income people who might otherwise have difficulty finding housing within the city; D. Provide opportunities for additional income to offset rising housing costs; E. Develop housing units in single-family neighborhoods that are appropriate for people at a variety of stages in the life cycle; F. Preserve the character of single-family neighborhoods by providing standards governing development of ADUs; and G. Ensure that ADUs are properly regulated by requiring property owners to obtain a business license and a building permit for an ADU prior to renting the ADU. 19.15.020 Definitions ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU): A self-contained dwelling unit located on an owner occupied property that is either incorporated within the single-family residence or in a detached building, which maintains complete independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation (i.e., a separate kitchen). An ADU is part of the single-family residence and is not a multi-family unit. OWNER OCCUPANCY: When a property owner, as reflected in title records, makes his or her legal residence at the site, as evidenced by voter registration, vehicle registration, driver's license, county assessor records or similar means. PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT (PUE): An area on a recorded plat map or other recorded document that is dedicated to the use and installation of public utility facilities. 19.15.030 Allowed Areas/Zones ADUs shall be a permitted use only on single family home lots in the following R Zones that require 5,000 square foot minimum lot sizes or greater: R-1-5, R-1-6, R-1-7, R-1-8, R- 4 1-10, R-1-15, R-1-21, R-1-43. ADUs are prohibited in all other zones. In no case shall an ADU be permitted in a townhome, a multi-family PUD, or other attached unit type, or on any lot that cannot satisfy the parking, setback, or lot coverage requirements. 19.15.040 Number of Residents ADUs shall be occupied by no more than two (2) related or unrelated adults and their dependents. 19.15.050 Setbacks Side yard setbacks will be consistent with setbacks for a single-family dwelling in the zone. Rear yard setbacks are a minimum of 10 feet. Detached ADUs must also be a minimum of 6 feet from the main dwelling. If existing PUEs are greater than the required setback, the minimum setback will be the PUE boundary.
