Two ADU/JADU per SFR

Carlos Ptriawan#1 Market Trends & Data Contributor
Posted

I read from the latest ADU progress :
(1)
https://www.newavenuehomes.com/legislation-update-ab-68-ab-881-and-sb-13-help-address-californias-housing-crisis-through-adus/

We first told our readers about these bills in July. The bills are making rapid progress, but they haven’t passed into law yet.AB 68 makes it harder for city governments to stop the construction of ADUs. It also gives homeowners the power to build a second ADU on their property. It will dramatically increase the number of new homes available in California.Status as of 9/16/19: AB 68 has passed and is headed to the governor’s desk.Learn more about AB 68.

AB68 & AB881 (Overlapping bills)
Removes minimum lot size requirements for ADUs
Reduce maximum setbacks applicable to an ADU to 4 feet
Increases the size limit of an ADU substantially
Voids FAR, lot coverage and other standard's applicability to ADUs
Reduces the max approval time for an ADU to 60 days
Exempts garage conversion ADUs from replacement parking
Allows for up to 2 ADUs on multi-family properties
Allows a single family property a conversion ADU and a JADU per property

Questions:
- what is the right interpretation of having two ADU/JADU per property ?? Does it mean one attached dwelling and one more detached dwelling is allowed ?
- if yes, when can we start working on it ?

Thanks


Carlos

JADU is available if you carve out no more than 500 SF of existing or proposed square foot of main house. You can also do up to 800 sf detached ADU

You can also do a detached ADU with an JADU attached ot that, but you are limited to 800 SF, but it is (2) units.
