City Ordinance on ADUs

[Jake Collins]

Hey all,

So I am currently looking to offer on a home that has a basement divided up into two units (A studio and 2BR) with a main home on top. The two units in the basement have full baths and full kitchens already. The home is in an area zoned for Single-Family but allows for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The issue is that the code of ordinance specifies only allowing one ADU. We were really hoping to buy this property and rent out the basement in two separate units either on AirBnB or longer term.

At this point, I'm wondering if I should still offer since the numbers are only where I want them to be renting out two units. I figure I could make half of it an ADU and then potentially rent out the other half of the basement to my "roommate" even though they have their own space with a separate entrance. Not sure if that's a bad idea and would like input. Any ideas or advice for this situation? Thanks in advance!
