Summary
This bill would establish zoning provisions for accessory dwelling units in Virginia. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are smaller residential units located on the same property as a single-family home, such as an in-law apartment, garage apartment, or cottage. The bill would add provisions to Virginia's zoning code governing how ADUs can be developed and used. This would establish standards and procedures for property owners to create additional housing units on their residential property.
