<br />15 <br /> <br />Frequently Asked Questions: <br />Junior Accessory Dwelling Units <br />Is There a Difference between ADU and JADU? <br />Yes, AB 2406 added Government Code Section 65852.22, <br />providing a unique option for Junior ADUs. The bill allows <br />local governments to adopt ordinances for JADUs, which are <br />no more than 500 square feet and are typically bedrooms in a <br />single-family home that have an entrance into the unit from <br />the main home and an entrance to the outside from the <br />JADU. The JADU must have cooking facilities, including a <br />sink, but is not required to have a private bathroom. Current <br />law does not prohibit local governments from adopting an <br />ordinance for a JADU, and this bill explicitly allows, not <br />requires, a local agency to do so. If the ordinance requires a <br />permit, the local agency shall not require additional parking or <br />charge a fee for a water or sewer connection as a condition <br />of granting a permit for a JADU.
