ADDITIONAL PLANNING INFORMATION

Accessory Dwelling Unit - (ADUs) aka. Secondary Dwelling Units, granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages. etc.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are residential living spaces that can be either attached to or detached from a primary residence. They are often rented out and provide complete and independent living facilities for one or more individuals.

Typically built as smaller units on the same property as a primary single-family home, ADUs include essential amenities such as a permanent kitchen, a sleeping area, a living space, and a bathroom. They can also be created within the existing structure of the primary residence, which might involve converting garage space, expanding current living areas, or partitioning off a smaller section of existing space to create a separate unit (referred to as a Junior ADU).

In addition, ADUs can be constructed on multifamily properties and within multifamily buildings. They can also take the form of efficiency units or manufactured homes.

For more information on ADUs and/ or JADUs, please see the City of Soledad ADU Handbook below (English / Spanish). 

If you should have any questions and/or need any further information. Please email us here or call the Community & Economic Development – Planning Division at (831) 223-5020.
