        "text": "A Junior ADU must be located within the existing walls of a proposed or existing single-family dwelling and can be no larger than 500 square feet. It requires an efficiency kitchen, which must include a cooking appliance, a food preparation counter, and storage cabinets. A JADU must also have a separate exterior entrance from the main home. While it's common for a JADU to have its own bedroom and living area, it is permitted to share a bathroom with the primary residence, distinguishing it from a full ADU's self-sufficiency requirements.",
