Can an Accessory Home be constructed above or attached to a garage?

Yes, provided the garage was legally constructed with building permits, the structure can be upgraded to meet the building code requirements for a second story and a living unit. An Accessory Home constructed above a garage must meet the setbacks required by zoning.
