<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.</span></p>
