        "text": "A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a specific type of ADU that is no more than 500 square feet and is created within the existing walls of a single-family home. It must include an efficiency kitchen and typically requires a separate exterior entrance, but may share a bathroom with the main dwelling. Unlike a full ADU, a JADU can only be built within an existing or proposed single-family structure. Both offer housing solutions, but JADUs have stricter size and location requirements.",
