        "text": "A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a specific type of ADU with particular distinctions. JADUs are smaller, typically up to 500 square feet, and must be created within the existing footprint of a single-family home, often within an attached garage or an existing bedroom. They are required to have an exterior entrance, but may share sanitation facilities with the primary dwelling, unlike a full ADU which needs its own. JADUs are generally subject to less stringent parking requirements and are often simpler to permit and construct.",
