SB9 is a powerful law, but there are many times when you can't or don't want to use it. In this video, I go through the big differences between ADUs and SB9 regular dwelling units so that you can make the right decision for your backyard cottage, granny flat or in-law suite.
If you want to build a 2nd unit in your backyard, should you use the SB9 rules or ADU rules? There are important differences between the rules that give each building type different pros and cons depending on your project.

If you've been thinking about building a backyard cottage, granny flat, in-law suite, or some other kind of detached house on your CA property, this video should help you figure out the strengths and weaknesses of SB 9 and ADU rules.
This is general information and you should speak to a lawyer and your local planning department about your specific situation.
