  1. Limitation.

One accessory dwelling unit is allowed per lot in the RA, R1, R2, RMF, and RHD zones subject to the development standards of the underlying zoning district.

Section 17C.300.130(A)(1) establishes the methods by which an ADU may be created. In cases where a proposed dwelling unit meets the definition and criteria of both an ADU and an additional principal dwelling (e.g., the second unit of a duplex or a second single-unit residential building on a lot), applicants may choose whether the proposed dwelling unit is permitted as an ADU or a principal dwelling.
