They’re called mother-in-law quarters or granny flats.
To homebuilders and state lawmakers, they’re referred to as Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs.
The Ripon Planning Commission last week gave the OK on the staff recommendations to the City Council, approving the chapter amendments to the ordinance on Accessory Dwelling Units, including eliminating the part on second-story ADUs while adding the verbiage for the placement of addresses to the backyard units.
The latter was not in the original proposal but was discussed with the Ripon Consolidated Fire District as a way to place the location of the Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit or ADU, according to Planning Director Ken Zuidervaart.
