An accessory dwelling unit and junior accessory dwelling <br />unit may be located in the same primary dwelling. <br />2. Duplex and Multifamily Dwelling—Number. <br />No more than two (2) accessory dwelling units detached from an existing multifamily dwelling unit <br />shall be permitted to be located on the same lot. At least one (1) accessory dwelling unit and <br />up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of existing multifamily dwelling units <br />shall be permitted to be converted from existing non-livable space including, but not limited <br />to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages, if each unit <br />complies with state building standards for dwellings. <br />3.Density. Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units shall not count toward the <br />allowed density for the lot upon which the unit is located. Accessory dwelling units and junior <br />accessory dwelling units approved in compliance with this Article shall be considered a <br />residential use that is consistent with the requirements of the General Plan and zoning <br />ordinance. <br />4. Location. Accessory dwelling units may be attached to, detached from, or located within an <br />existing dwelling. Junior accessory dwelling units shall be located within the single-family <br />dwelling. <br />B. Lot Coverage. Accessory dwelling units shall be exempt from lot coverage calculations of the underlying <br />zoning district. For the purposes of this Article, attached garages, carports, and covered porches <br />associated with an accessory dwelling unit shall count towards lot coverage. <br />C. Building Height and Setbacks. <br />1. Setbacks. <br />a. A four (4) foot side and rear yard setback shall be required. Accessory dwelling units <br />shall be subject to front yard setbacks applicable to the primary dwelling unless such <br />a requirement would preclude the construction of a Statewide Exemption Accessory <br />Dwelling Unit as is described in Section 37.4.B. <br />b. No setback shall be required for an accessory dwelling unit located within the existing <br />living area or an existing accessory structure, or an accessory dwelling unit that <br />replaces an existing structure and is located in the same location and to the same <br />dimensions as the structure being replaced. A legal accessory building (including a <br />detached garage) may be converted into an accessory dwelling unit provided the side <br />and rear setbacks are sufficient for fire safety. <br />2. Conversion and Expansion of Converted Structures. Any expansion of an accessory dwelling unit <br />converted from a legal accessory building or primary dwelling shall be subject to Section <br />37.3(Development Standards) requirements for an accessory dwelling unit. <br />3.
