Hey @Solomon Rosenberg, depending on the area you might have different zoning ordinances. In June 2023, that will all change due to the new Uniform Development Ordinance going into effect for Charlotte. With the changes, you will be able to build an ADU up to 40% of the square footage of the primary structure if it is attached i.e. garage. If it is detached, you can build a structure up to 50% of the primary structure.
Here is the link for the UDO that specifically addresses ADU's.
