[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there’s no restrictions on the number of kids who can live in an ADU.  Typical MoCo-the schools nearest to Metro and jobs, most of which are already way over capacity with no solution in sight, will suffer the increased enrollment from this plan which of course MoCo doesn’t bother to factor in.[/quote]
I don't know about other areas, but most of the lots around Rockville metro aren't large enough to build ADUs in their backyard.  And even if they were, a lot of the yards are slopey so it' s not that easy to build on, nor is it cheap.  How many people around here would actually build an ADU? I might consider it for retirement, while I rent out the main house, but my backyard  is about 5000sqft, narrow and long, and if I do build an ADU, most of the yard would be gone.  I can't imagine building an ADU in my yard that would be big enough to be comfortable with the setback rules, and I wouldn't want the ADU to be too close to the main house. It would pretty tiny for two people, let alone for an adult with kids.[/quote]
