Height for all detached accessory dwelling units is measured from the lowest grade adjacent to the structure to the highest ridge or top of the structure; (3) a detached accessory dwelling unit on an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or high quality transit corridor, as defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code shall not exceed 18 feet in height plus an additional two feet in height to accommodate a roof pitch on the accessory dwelling unit that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit; and (4) a detached accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily multi- story dwelling shall not exceed 18 feet in height.
