<span style="background:yellow">last
question</span>. Our Counsel opined that only one
Protected Use ADU per legal lot can be established, so if
the condo was on one lot and had 20 units, only one ADU
would be permitted. Of course, the Condo R&Rs would need
some level of specificity (likely lacking now) that would
facilitate how that could be done. They also deemed the
“primary dwelling” to be the largest of the buildings on the
lot. I am not sure of that rationale, but hopefully we keep
this analysis and discussion going.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
