        "text": "The primary difference in site planning for attached versus detached ADUs relates to proximity to the main home, required setbacks, and utility connections. An attached ADU typically involves integrating with existing structures and utilities, potentially simplifying some aspects of the build. Detached ADUs, conversely, require independent placement on the lot and may involve extending utility lines further, which can impact trenching and landscaping. Your property's size and shape are key decision factors here.",
