A. Accessory dwellings shall be consistent with the setback, height and lot coverage standards applicable to the property zoning.

B. An accessory dwelling shall have a maximum floor area of 1,000 square feet. Accessory dwellings shall not exceed 1,000 square feet of floor area, or 75 percent of the primary dwelling’s floor area, whichever is smaller. However, accessory dwellings that result from the conversion of a level or floor (e.g., basement, attic, or second story) of the primary dwelling may occupy the entire level or floor, even if the floor area of the accessory dwelling would be more than 1,000 square feet.

C. An attached accessory dwelling shall not result in any new door entrance on an exterior wall facing a front yard property line. Fire escapes or exterior stairs for access to an upper level ADU shall not be located on the front of the primary dwelling.

D. Detached ADUs must be located behind the primary dwelling, unless located within a preexisting detached structure that does not meet this standard. The building coverage of a detached ADU may not be larger than the building coverage of the primary dwelling.

E. No portion of an existing building that encroaches within a required yard setback may be converted to or used as an ADU. [Ord. 9-D § 2.]
