VIA ZONING REFORM
Missing middle refers to the range of housing that fits between single-family detached homes and mid-to-high-rise apartment buildings.
Many people grew up in such
housing in the 20th century, but zoning restrictions tended to eliminate
townhouses and fourplexes and segregated housing into only larger-lot,
single-family zones or denser, taller apartment districts.
ADUs, also known as granny flats, are ancillary buildings on a single-family lot.
They could be over a carriage house, in a converted garage or in a stand-alone building usually about 500 to 750 square feet.
They add gentle density to a
neighborhood while creating affordable housing and an income stream for the lot
owner to help keep up with rising costs.
