Sorry, I did not mean to hijack the thread, and maybe we should start another one just on this subject. DADU, as PDieter mentioned, is just a dwelling unit that is not attached to the primary building; like a detached garage is not connected to the house. In 2006, the city approved DADUs in single-family zones in southeast Seattle (except shorelines), subject to certain restrictions and requirements just like any other permitted uses. I have not heard of a move to restrict this use and actually, as a lay observer, expect the city to expand the area of permitted DADUs. The city these days seems to advocate for anything to increase urban density ……. MIL is just another name for DADUs. ADUs are accessory dwelling units like oh, a basement apartment in a SF house. ADUs have been permitted citywide since about 1995 (again, subject to certain conditions and requirements). See this DPD info sheet for ADU: http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/publications/cam/cam116a.pdf back to the regularly scheduled programming…………
