Jurupa Valley imposes no owner-occupancy requirement for stand-alone ADUs, consistent with Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 66314(a)(6)(B). However, Sec. 9.240.290(G)(3) requires the property owner to live in either the primary dwelling or the JADU whenever a junior accessory dwelling unit exists on the lot. This is recorded as a covenant prior to certificate of occupancy.
California Gov. Code Sec. 66314(a)(6)(B) prohibits cities from imposing owner-occupancy requirements on ADUs permitted between January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2025 (extended in subsequent legislation). Jurupa Valley follows this preemption — there is no city-imposed owner-occupancy on any ADU. The JADU owner-occupancy requirement in Sec. 9.240.290(G)(3) tracks Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 66333 (JADU statute), which allows cities to require owner-occupancy of either the primary or junior unit because a JADU shares a wall (and often a kitchen) with the main residence. The covenant binds successors in interest and is enforceable through code enforcement and recordable liens.
Failing to maintain owner-occupancy of either the JADU or primary dwelling violates the recorded covenant, exposing the owner to code enforcement under Title 9 Chapter 9.15 and potential lien recordation. ADUs (without a JADU) are not subject to owner-occupancy enforcement.
