FOR THOSE FOLLOWING ADUs AND THE CLAREMONT FIASCO

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The San Diego City Council approved tighter restrictions for accessory dwelling units in San Diego. The changes will limit the number of ADUs allowed on one property, ranging from four to six units maximum, depending on the property size. This comes after residents complained that they were seeing apartment-like complexes going up in their single family neighborhoods. But the changes are coming a little too late for some neighborhoods, including on Almayo Avenue in Clairemont. MORE AT San Diego city council tightens ADU rules after complaints
