The Pros and Cons of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs); City Staff to Discuss Local Ordinance and Standards at the Paso Robles City Library on March 8

 

PASO ROBLES, CA –February 8, 2023 The Paso Robles City Library is pleased to host

City planning staff on Wednesday, March 8, 5:30-6:30 pm in the Library Conference

Room as they present information about the city’s local Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)

ordinance and standards of operation adopted last December. Topics to be covered include:

• What is an ADU?

• Where in the city are ADUs allowed?

• What are the development standards for an ADU (floor area, height, setbacks, etc.)?

• Can part of a residence or a detached building be converted into an ADU?

• Can tiny houses or recreational vehicles be used as an ADU?

• What is the process and cost to permit and construct an ADU?

The State of California has identified ADUs, sometimes referred to as mother-in-law units,

second units, granny flats, and rear yard dwellings, as a significant way to help address the

statewide housing crisis. ADUs are a relatively affordable way to add extra housing for

family members and can serve as a source of rental income. Attend this special program and

learn about this new opportunity. Registration is required for each attendant. For ages 16+.

The Library is open Monday-Friday 9-7 and Saturday 9-4. Call the library at 805-237-3870
