The regulations in Minneapolis don't seem so reasonable to me. For instance, if the property is ever not owner occupied you are supposed to remove the unit. If you want two units then that is straight out. You still can't build over a single story if it's an accessory structure. I'm assuming it doesn't change the amount of unbuilt square footage you need, though thankfully they did relax parking requirements. They haven't been popular here at all, and while they are expensive to build, I think they are also pretty regulatorily constrained.
I've thought that if anything ever happens to our garage and I need or want to rebuild, I might look into an ADU. But probably I'd just try to get the property upzoned or otherwise get an exception instead of working inside the current regulations.
