🏗️ Witness the transformation! A two story structure going up in Clairemont features two stacked 1200 sqft 3BR/3BA units. Even though the property is single family, the multiple units can be built as part of San Diego's innovative Affordable ADU Bonus program. Additional ADUs are allowed provided one ADU is deed restricted for moderate-income households for 15 years or for low-income households for 10 years. This deed restriction allows for the construction of one additional unrestricted ADU, which can be rented at market rates. On a single-family property, you can build up to four ADUs: one by-right ADU, one affordable ADU, one bonus ADU, plus one Junior ADU (JADU), although JADUs have owner occupancy requirements. On a multifamily property, you can build up to two by-right ADUs, plus an affordable ADU and a bonus ADU. And in certain "Sustainable Development Areas," there is no specific limit to the number of additional affordable and bonus ADUs you can construct, subject to other zoning restrictions like floor area ratio (FAR), lot coverage, setbacks, and height. Building under this unique program, the property owner is contributing to affordable housing by constructing one unit for moderate-income families, paired with another unrestricted unit. This approach not only meets housing needs but also introduces mixed rental opportunities at market rates. #ADU #accessorydwellingunit #grannyflat #adubuilder #aducontractor #adubuilders #casita #secondunit #inlawunit #guesthouse #affordableunit #affordablehousing #realestate #househacking #rentalincome #propertyinvestment #realestateinvesting #investmentproperty #realestatesandiego #generalcontractor #bonusADU

The demand for more diverse housing options is high, but the process of creating them is complicated and fragmented. While developers struggle to navigate the complex regulations and handle the associated costs, the situation is even more challenging for ordinary citizens. Therefore, we need to establish policies and frameworks that encourage and empower citizens to build middle housing, which can act as a catalyst for creating adaptable and resilient neighborhoods.

What's the future of short term rentals in Buncombe County? To create more long-term rental and owner-occupied housing opportunities, Buncombe County Planning Department is proposing to limit where short-term rentals can be located in the unincorporated parts of the County, and provide standards for new short-term rentals. https://lnkd.in/e_uqjXGt

Thanks to soaring housing prices, the era of the 400-square-foot subdivision house is upon us. Meet Robert Lanter, a 63-year-old retired nurse who lives in a 600-square-foot house that can be traversed in five seconds and vacuumed from a single outlet. Mr. Lanter's house could easily fit on a flatbed truck, and is dwarfed by the two-story suburban homes that prevail on the blocks around him. But, in fact, there are even smaller homes in his subdivision, Cinder Butte, which was developed by a local builder called Hayden Homes. Some of his neighbors live in houses that total just 400 square feet — a 20-by-20-foot house attached to a 20-by-20-foot garage. Each of these details amounts to something bigger, for Mr. Lanter’s life and the U.S. housing market: a house under $300,000, something increasingly hard to find. That price allowed Mr. Lanter to buy a new single-family home in a subdivision in Redmond, Ore., about 30 minutes outside Bend, where he is from and which is, along with its surrounding area, one of Oregon’s most expensive housing markets. This is not a colony of “tiny houses,” popular among minimalists and aesthetes looking to simplify their lives. For Mr. Lanter and his neighbors, it’s a chance to hold on to ownership.

ADU's are an instant value add. The parameters are broad and easy to obtain for qualifying properties. The "cottage" (call it what you like!) can meet your own needs (an office out of the house) and/or a housing need for in/outlaw senior care and support. The ADU can also be rented with the benefit of passive income. It is an ingenious way to meet housing/professional space needs and diversify options that have a very small footprint.
