        "text": "The main differences between a Junior ADU (JADU) and a standard ADU lie in their size, location, and utility requirements. A JADU is limited to 500 square feet, must be contained within the existing footprint of a single-family home, and requires an efficiency kitchen. It also does not typically require new utility connections. A standard ADU can be larger, up to 1,200 square feet (depending on jurisdiction), can be attached or detached, and often requires separate utility hookups and parking. JADUs are generally a simpler and more cost-effective option for adding housing.",
