        "text": "Backyard cottage regulations can vary significantly even among neighboring cities in the Bay Area. While state laws provide a general framework, specific municipalities like Fremont, Dublin, or Pleasanton have their own zoning ordinances regarding maximum size, height, setbacks from property lines, and parking requirements.
