        "text": "A Junior ADU (JADU) is a specific type of Accessory Dwelling Unit, typically created within an existing single-family home. It must be no more than 500 square feet, include an efficiency kitchen, and have a separate exterior entrance. Unlike a full ADU, a JADU may share a bathroom with the main dwelling and doesn't require additional parking. JADUs offer a more cost-effective and less invasive way to add living space, often suitable for elderly family members, adult children, or as a rental unit, contributing to housing flexibility within existing structures.",
