ADU rentals Denver - Owner must reside on location. Is this true?

[Emily Fischer]

Hello,

My husband and I are looking at places in Denver with an ADU. We don't completely understand the rules and aren't finding the city planning department to be very useful. The rules seem to state that the owner must live on location in order to be able to rent out an ADU. This seems pretty constricting (and that might be the point). We would love to eventually be able to move out and continue to rent out both places. Any ideas on this? Does this count towards only new ADU builds or would existing ADUs be subject to this rule as well?
