        "text": "A detached ADU is a completely separate, standalone structure on the property, independent from the main house. It has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living space. A Junior ADU (JADU), on the other hand, is created within the existing footprint of a single-family home, typically within an attached garage or an existing bedroom. JADUs are generally smaller, often limited to 500 square feet, and may share a bathroom or have a smaller, efficiency kitchen.",
