ADU rules in St. Pete Beach

The Land Development Code contains no ADU authorization anywhere (full-text sweep of all 49 divisions; no accessory dwelling, guest house, guest cottage, accessory apartment, or similar term appears in the Sec. 2.1 definitions). The operative accessory-structure section permits only garages, storage buildings, pools, decks, patios, gazebos, antennas, and similar: detached garages 'in no case' may contain any sleeping room, kitchen facilities, or plumbing, residential storage buildings must be non-habitable and no more than 120 sq ft, and patio covers may not be enclosed in a manner that could be construed as living space.

No internal or attached second unit is authorized. The LDC's 'Residential dwelling unit' definition requires no more than one kitchen and complete internal access to all rooms, which structurally excludes an internal second dwelling, and the RU-1 district permits detached single-family dwellings only with accessory uses limited to those regulated by Sec. 6.13; other residential districts follow the same pattern.

The only near-miss is the Pass-a-Grille Overlay District, whose design standards list 'carriage houses, pool houses, detached living quarters' as examples of accessory structures subject to the overlay's form envelope (maximum 400 to 800 sq ft footprint by building type); this regulates the form of pre-existing accessory structures and creates no authorization for a second dwelling unit.

Not applicable; the code has no ADU provisions to attach an owner-occupancy rule to.

No ADU-specific parking standard exists because the use is not authorized.

There is no permit path for an ADU; the use does not exist in the code. Multi-unit building types in the Pass-a-Grille Overlay require units existing prior to redevelopment (Sec. 20.07 density rules).

No ADU rental rules exist since ADUs are not authorized. The separate Code of Ordinances mentions 'guesthouses' only inside the solid-waste chapter's garbage-collection definition of multiple dwellings (Ch. 70), which is not a land-use provision. The city separately regulates short-term rentals of existing dwellings (see the city's short-term rental rules page).
