        "text": "An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be attached or detached from the primary home. A garage conversion is a specific type of ADU where an existing garage structure is transformed into a living space. While all garage conversions resulting in independent living spaces are ADUs, not all ADUs are garage conversions; ADUs can also be newly built detached structures, attached additions, or conversions of other existing spaces like basements.",
