A new single-family structure approved with an accessory dwelling unit attached to, or detached from, the main dwelling unit shall have a separate, accessible entrance or stairway. An accessory dwelling unit approved in an existing structure may use existing entrances on any side of the structure that faces a street, or a side or rear entrance. Dwellings with two front doors side-by-side may not be used to provide separate entrances for each unit, with the exception of dwellings where the second door provides direct access to the dwelling basement. The purpose of this requirement is to preserve the single-family residential appearance of the building.
