guide:
Below is a guide to frequently asked questions. Please note these are generic and your indivual project, site, State or Jursidiction may differ
OVERVIEW (STATE OF CALIFORNIA):
....................................................................................................
LOCAL CODES:
Two new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) State bills, Assembly Bill (AB) 2299 and Senate Bill (SB) 1069 that amended the State’s existing second unit law (Government Code Section 65852.2). These amendments to the existing second unit law went into effect on January 1, 2020. The new version of State law makes clear that City ordinances which do not align with State law shall be “null and void” and that, until which time a jurisdiction adopts its own ordinance, in accordance with State law, the state standards specified in section 65852.2 shall be enforced. It also includes provisions for Multifamily Residences and time-limits for Plan Check.
....................................................................................................
Many local Jurisdictions have enacted their own ordinances further defining the development standards and where or if Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are allowed. Please refer to your local Planning/Building Departments or contact Douglas Peters>architect for an overview of the restrictions for your home.
