Subject: EXTERNAL ADUs
I am writing again to strongly urge you to restrict any permitted ADUs to long term rentals. So many other areas have
been inundated with ADUs that are used as VRBOs or AirB&Bs, causing major parking problems, undue noise, decrease
in property values, etc. There should also be a limit to the number or percentage of ADUs in a given area, as well as
requiring that accessory dwellings be subject to design standards and constructed in a way as to fit in with the
surrounding houses. I support the use of ADUs (I may be living in one myself some day), but I think it is critical to be
proactive and avoid some of the problems many cities in other parts of the country have experienced and are faced with
correcting after the fact.
Thank you.
