Adding a backyard accessory dwelling (ADU) rental unit in San Carlos, California

Scott, a homeowner in San Carlos, frequently rented his property out via AirBnB. He knew he could bring in more income if he added a small ADU to the backyard. Scott planned to live in the ADU when the main home was rented out and to live in the main home when the ADU was rented out.
