Zoning Code §155.4303.A permits one accessory dwelling unit per lot as accessory to a single-family dwelling only (not duplexes, multifamily, or mobile homes). ADUs may be within or attached to the principal dwelling (requires interconnecting door, principal access from side/rear only) or exist within a detached structure (e.g., apartment above a garage). Floor area limited to the lesser of 1,000 sq ft or 25% of principal dwelling floor area. 1-2 off-street parking spaces required in addition to principal dwelling parking.
