1. Accessory structureA structure that is customarily or typically subordinate to and serves a principal structure; is clearly subordinate
in area, extent, or purpose to the principal structure served; and is located on the same lot as the principal structure. In no event shall

Examples may include, but are not limited to, detached garages, sheds, swimming pools, tennis courts, docks, and other accessory
construction.
2. Dwelling, Accessory Unit (ADU) – A second dwelling unit created on a lot with a single family detached dwelling unit and may either be
located within the principal detached dwelling or within a separate accessory structure.
3. Dwelling unit A room or combination of rooms designed for year-round habitation, containing a bathroom and kitchen facilities, and
designed for or used as a permanent residence by at least one family.

Zoning Ordinance.
Accessory structures that ARE accessory dwelling units (ADU) must also comply with the requirements of Section 12.407 of the Zoning
Ordinance Please see below.
Accessory dwelling, units (ADU) shall be permitted as an accessory to any single family
detached dwelling unit in accordance with the following requirements:
1. The ADU shall be clearly subordinate to the principal single family detached structure.
2. No more than one ADU shall be located on a lot.
3. The ADU and the principal dwelling unit shall be owned by the same person.
4. The ADU shall not be served by a driveway separate from that serving the principal dwelling. However, if the ADU is within an

street or the alley, whichever applies.
5. An ADU located within the principal single family detached structure shall comply with the following additional requirements:
a. The ADU shall be limited to 35% of the total floor area of the principal structure. However, in no case shall the ADU
exceed 800 heated square feet.
b. The ADU shall not be internally accessible from the principal dwelling. ** This condition creates a two-family dwelling
that must also comply with the NC Residential Code, including fire separation and fire-rated construction. **
c. The pedestrian entrance to the ADU shall be located to the side or rear of the structure.
6. An ADU located within an accessory structure shall comply with the following additional requirements:

alley.
d. Roof and exterior wall materials and finishes of the ADU shall be similar in composition and appearance to that of the
principal dwelling on the lot. However, this requirement does not apply to additions or exterior modifications to an
existing accessory structure for the purposes of creating an ADU.
DECLARATIONPLEASE CHECK A BOX

declaring that the accessory structure “is not” an ADU, you are confirming that the structure will not be used as a dwelling/residence whether
for short-term or long-term durations throughout the year. I understand that failure to properly permit this project may result in a Notice of
Violation and/or other enforcement actions as necessary to achieve compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
