AB 1154: Junior accessory dwelling units.

The bill aims to amend the government code to allow for the creation of junior accessory dwelling units. Currently, an ordinance must require owner-occupancy in the single-family residence where the unit is permitted. The proposed change would exempt this requirement if the unit shares sanitation facilities with the main structure. Additionally, the bill would require a rental of the unit to be for a term longer than 30 days. Local governments would need to adopt an ordinance allowing these units and obtain ministerial approval if no local ordinance exists.
