        "text": "An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a self-contained living unit on the same property as a primary home, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Other garage conversions might transform the space into an office, gym, or extra bedroom that remains integrated with the main house and lacks independent facilities. ADUs often have more stringent building code requirements due to their independent living function, impacting design and utility connections.",
