Pre-Approved ADU Plans

The Pre-Approved ADU Plans Program encourages the construction of ADUs by offering property owners a selection of Pre-Approved ADU building plans. While some site-specific design work is required, these pre-approved plans aim to help a property owner dramatically reduce pre-construction costs and improve permit approval efficiency.

The following resources have been created to assist you in the preparation of your Pre-Approved ADU plan submittal. The Pre-Approved ADU plans available are to be used for the development of a detached ADU. The linked plan sets below provide access to all required submittal documents.

Projects utilizing the Pre-Approved ADU plan sets must meet grading permit exemption requirements. Applicants utilizing the Pre-Approved ADU plan sets must submit a completed grading permit exemption form along with their submittal. The grading permit exemption form is included in each of the plan sets below.

The complete Pre-Approved ADU Plan sets available for download are listed below. Upon selecting the Pre-Approved ADU plan from the plans available below, you will be able to download a ZIP file with the documents required for submittal.
