The city recognizes the importance of livable housing and an attractive, suitable living environment for all residents. The State Legislature has declared that accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units are a valuable form of housing in California. It is the intent of the city to permit all types of accessory dwelling units in all areas zoned to allow single-family, multi-family and mixed-use residential, in conformance with state law, and subject to standards that will ensure the units contribute to a suitable living environment for people of all ages and economic levels, while preserving the integrity and character of residential neighborhoods. It is not the intent of this section to override lawful use restrictions as may be set forth in conditions, covenants and restrictions or similar instruments.
