For an original floor plan and architectural production set developed around the property and homeowner.
City materials state that an ADU attached to an existing single-family dwelling may not exceed 50 percent of the existing living area, and that attached and detached ADUs may not exceed 1,200 square feet. A setback of no more than four feet from side and rear lot lines is required, and a detached ADU may not be located between the primary dwelling and the street.
Parking requirements may not exceed one space per unit or bedroom. For an ADU over 750 square feet on a lot with a multifamily structure, fees must be proportional to the average size of the dwelling units on the lot. Confirm current fees with Building and Safety.
Consultants are retained only when required by the property, design, or reviewing agency. Their proposals and coordination are separate from the architectural production fee unless stated otherwise in the agreement.
