Tucsonans might not be able to start building backyard casitas until January following the city council’s decision to pause an earlier vote that allowed the structures in residential areas.
Casitas, also called Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs, are small homes that are built alongside existing houses. Proponents said they offer more living space for large families, are a better alternative to nursing homes for the elderly and could create more low-cost rental options.
