and located on its own separate parcel, would be subject to regulations applicable to ADUs for single-family developments. Finally, a maximum of two additional detached accessory dwelling units are permitted if they meet a minimum rear and side yard setback of four feet, and a maximum height of 16 feet.5 b. ADUs resulting from Conversion of Space (see Exhibit A, PMC 18.106.050] The draft PMC amendment includes the following development standards for ADUs resulting from conversion of space in an existing multifamily building. (i) Limitation on Space that May be Converted While State law provides a series of examples of non-habitable space that may be converted to an ADU, including storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages, staff proposes to include language that prohibits the conversion of space to an accessory dwelling unit if it results in the elimination of an existing on-site amenity such as a laundry facility, gymnasium, community room, etc. (ii) Height and Setbacks ADUs resulting from converted space that also require expansion in multifamily development would be subject to the maximum height and the minimum setback requirements of the main structure. (iii) Square Footage In most situations, the size of an ADU resulting from conversion of existing space will be limited to the existing size of the space. In order to place a limit on size, the PMC amendments propose that the maximum floor area of an ADU resulting from converting existing space in multifamily developments be 1 ,200 square feet. c. Detached ADUs on Multifamily Developments [see Exhibit A, PMC 18.106.045] As noted, a maximum of two detached ADUs are permitted in multifamily developments, in addition to ADUs resulting from conversion of existing space. Since state law treats all detached ADUs similarly, the same development standards are proposed for detached units on multifamily properties as those outlined for single-family detached ADUs, above. 4. Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (see Exhibit A, PMC 18.106.070] Changes related to JADUs are less extensive when compared to those related to ADUs. However, there are a few key modifications related to JADUs: • As mentioned in this report, one primary dwelling unit, one ADU, and one JADU may be proposed on the same property with a single-family residence. • When code-required parking in the primary residence's garage is eliminated or modified in conjunction with the creation of a JADU, no replacement parking is required. • The City may still require owner-occupancy in the single-family residence in which the JADU is located. In other words, the owner may reside in either the remaining portion of the dwelling or the newly created JADU but may not rent out both to different parties. • The rental period for a JADU must be longer than 30 days. For example: A multifamily property with eight apartments could build a total of four ADUs—two resulting from conversion of existing space such as a garage and an attic area; plus two additional units elsewhere on the property that conform to the above-noted development standards.

The Central-Commercial (C-C) District also allows multifamily dwellings and thus in accordance with the new state law, must now also allow ADUs; JADUs would be allowed in existing single-family dwellings.
