Casitas, or ADUs, are independent living spaces with their own kitchen. They provide more flexible housing options, support aging in place, and are a way of promoting sustainable infill development. The proposal to allow casitas in Tucson was developed based on input from the public and a stakeholder group over the past 10 months.
