Will I need to add parking?

Parking is much less of a concern than it used to be. JADUs do not require a parking spot. Check Local ADU Rules and talk with your staff to see if ADUs require parking. No new parking is required if ADU is:

  1. Within ½ mile walking distance to transit (including a ferry);
  2. Within an architecturally or historically significant district;
  3. On-street parking permits are required and not provided to the occupant of the ADU;
  4. Located within one block of car-share access, or
  5. Built as part of a new home.

Check the Local ADU Rules to see what parking may be required.
