Woodland rules that affect a multigen adu
Woodland multigenerational builds are designed single-level and accessible — zero-step entry, wider doorways, curbless showers — so parents or adult kids live independently next door. Yolo County permits these like any detached or attached ADU.
Local permitting: Woodland's Community Development Department reviews ADUs in Yolo County under the standard 4 ft setbacks and 16 ft height limit. The two ends of town read differently: the historic downtown grid is full of older structures and garages that convert well, while newer Spring Lake lots are larger and flatter for a ground-up build.
That's the multigen adu-specific picture. For the full Yolo County rulebook — every setback, height, and owner-occupancy detail — see our Sacramento-region ADU rules guide, and learn how the build type works statewide on our multigenerational adu page.
