5.52 Where an ADU is located near a shared side or rear
property line, locate and design it to respect the
neighboring properties and consider rear yard privacy.
a. Locate an ADU so that access to sun for gardens and
yards is maintained on neighboring properties.
b. Consider the placement of windows and doors on an
ADU, as well as the orientation of outdoor spaces in the
ADU to maintain a sense of privacy for neighbors.

Incorporate windows that are
visible from the public realm to be
of a similar size and pattern to the
windows on the primary structure.

If visible from the public realm, design an ADU to be subordinate to the
primary structure. Some options are locating the ADU in the rear and
making it smaller in size.

Locate the front wall of an ADU
that is taller than the primary
structure to be set back behind the
front wall of the primary structure.
