Multifamily ADUs are typically located in spaces formerly used as parking or storage inside an apartment building or added as new detached structure on the same lot.
What varies according to property is how many ADUs you can add to your property. Per AB-68, a minimum of one accessory dwelling unit within an existing multifamily building is allowed and up to 25% of the unit count (for instance 10 unit building is allowed 2 @ 25% of total unit count) AND/OR a maximum of two accessory units located on a lot that has existing multifamily but are detached from that multifamily building. How can you determine if you can add one, two, three ADUs or more, please contact us.”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/trx_sc_content_inner][/trx_sc_content][/vc_column][/vc_row]
