B. Development standards: a. Detached accessory dwelling units shall be subject to the accessory building development standards for the zone district in which they are located, set forth in sections 26-205 to 26-214 and this section, including bulk plane requirements for ADUs located in residential zone districts. b.

The ADU shall not be sold separately from the primary dwelling unit, nor shall the lot on which it is situated be subdivided unless such subdivision can be accomplished in accordance with all provisions of this Code; 14 2. The primary dwelling unit or the ADU shall be occupied by the property owner; and 3. Failure to continuously comply with deed restrictions may subject the owner of the property to penalties provided for in this Code, including the revocation of the certificate of occupancy or completion. c.

F. Nonconforming properties: a. Owners of property currently containing structures or portions of structures which may fall within the definition of ADU under section 26-123, are hereby granted the right to apply to the City for approval of the same until August 15, 2024.

A building permit shall be required for any construction or modification of the ADU to bring the structure into compliance with applicable building codes, to the extent practical, as determined by the community development director, in consultation with the chief building official. A building permit is not required to the extent the ADU is determined to be legally nonconforming pursuant to Section 26-120 as documented by proof provided by the owner and to the satisfaction of the community development director. c. If a property contains more than one (1) ADU, deemed lawful pursuant to subsections F.a and F.b by August 15, 2024, those ADUs shall be allowed to remain until voluntarily demolished or converted to other uses, consistent with the provisions of Code Section 26-120.C. d. The owner occupancy requirement of this section shall not apply to properties which, on August 15, 2022 (as documented by proof provided by the owner and to the satisfaction of the community development director), contain a primary dwelling and ADU, neither of which are occupied by the owner. In the event the property is sold or the owner commences occupancy of either the primary dwelling or ADU, this exemption from the application of the owner occupancy requirements of this section shall expire. e. Properties containing existing nonconforming accessory structures may be eligible for conversion of those structures to an ADU only to the extent a 15 variance to address nonconforming elements is first obtained pursuant to Section 26-115. G. Existing development on lot. A single detached dwelling unit must exist as a primary dwelling unit on the lot or parcel or be constructed simultaneously with the ADU. A certificate of occupancy or completion for an ADU will only be issued after or coincident with issuance of the same for the primary dwelling unit. Section 23.
