The Commission did not adopt the changes, but it gave staff direction to make ADU construction and legalization more flexible while staying consistent with state requirements. The discussion included allowing second driveways to serve multiple ADUs, permitting limited expansions for separate entrances, clarifying rules for junior ADUs, and exploring advisory help for legalizing unpermitted units. The Director’s report stated that permits were issued for 3 ADUs in February and 6 ADUs in March.
