Slightly off subject, but slightly interesting regardless.A hospice was planned for Poway (on the corner of Espola and some other road) and was approved by the Poway city council.

In this recently issued memorandum, Austin City Council requests that the City Manager modify the city’s STR regulations as needed to bring them into compliance with the ruling.Going forward, there should be essentially no substantial difference in treatment between owner-occupants and investors/non-owner occupants when it comes to Austin's STR regulations.

Your Governors, Mayors, Representatives, City Councils....

I never want to be the first to do anything. garbage deal let it go. you are talking about council variance, constructing or renovating a structure, you won't be able to get a permit. not advice but not to by the deal and not to look at the adu as anything but garbage anyone who says any differently should look at a zoning map and show me why and how an ADU makes any financial sense. you are only getting yourself into a very poor situation. tear it down and move on. 

If your area is really bad, and your town is rather small, you might want to talk to your city council type people, and ask for citywide tax abatements on property taxes for people who fix up run down homes- perhaps for something like 7 years, or even 10 years if that's what it takes to get the job done.Just my 2 cents. 

Either way, I would definitely recommend checking with your state's legal guidelines as well as getting legal council just to be sure you stay within both your's and the tenant's rights. 

If only one side speaks up, there is only one story to tell..the issue your running into is those that are plaintiffs are no doubt being told by council to stay off of all social media until the case's are settled one way or the other..
