An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a building which provides independent living facilities for one or more persons on the same parcel on which one or more dwelling units are located. An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) shall include independent living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and bathing facilities and may be detached from, within, or attached to a dwelling unit. Developing an ADU may involve new construction (pre-fab or stick built) or the conversion of existing building space. Below are some ADU projects completed by the ADU Coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
