    “I think I've pinned down what my problem is. I think it is the ELA. And I think they're different enough that they both need a section in code because – So in ELA, you can add additional square footage, whereas an ADU in an existing structure has to be within the original structure. It has to be contained within, right?”

    City Council · Sep 1, 2026

    “It would be a pool house or a gym, right? Could have a shower. Yes. That would be considered an ELA. I think”

  24. Play at 3:04:20
    “But an ELA that's a gym. You're going to have somebody go in there three times a week, impact low, relatively low. You have an ELA that's a two-bedroom, two-bath, that's a higher intensity, and it's the same, listed as the same in our code. So it's the use that is critical for me and the amount of intensity of that use that is going to increase to the neighborhood. It's not necessarily a club, a pool house, something like that. So the intensity, very low. So that's the way I look at it in my mind is how big is this impact going to be on the neighbors. So I just wanted to get that out there…”
