        "text": "Yes, converting your garage into an ADU often impacts parking requirements, as the garage typically counts as required parking for your main residence. State laws in California have made it easier to convert garages by often waiving replacement parking requirements if certain conditions are met, especially if the property is near public transit or a car-share vehicle. However, local city ordinances can still have specific rules. We evaluate your property's specific situation and local regulations during the initial consultation to determine any parking implications.",
