Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Zoning Code Updates

San Leandro is updating its accessory dwelling unit rules to match a dozen recent state bills. The changes clarify how many ADUs are allowed per lot, tighten city review timelines to 15 business days, and make it easier to legalize unpermitted ADUs built before 2020. The rules are already in effect — this just puts them in the local code.
