A JADU is limited to 500 square feet and must be within the existing footprint of the primary home, while a standard ADU can be larger and built as a detached structure, an attached addition, or converted from an existing structure. JADUs require an efficiency kitchen, whereas standard ADUs typically need a full kitchen and bathroom. JADUs often have fewer parking requirements and impact fees, making them a more accessible option for some homeowners.",
