RISK ANALYSIS:
There is some risk in permitting ADUs in both the principal building and an accessory structure. Risk related to flooding in ADUs located within basements has been minimized by prohibiting them within the floodplain and requiring mitigation measures in basement units outside of the floodplain (e.g. downspout disconnection, sump pump, and backflow prevention valve).
