Questions & answers
What are the regulations around ADUs?
“California has adopted statewide standards that make building modular ADUs and factory-built homes faster and more consistent across cities. For ADUs under 800 square feet, local jurisdictions must follow simplified regulations that prevent added restrictions on design, height, or lot coverage.”
Can an ADU be the main home/the only structure on a property?
“Yes and No , ADUs are Accessory Dwelling Units which means in order to be permitted as ADUs, they need to be an accessory to the main home structure.”
Do ADUs need a separate address?
“Some jurisdictions do not require separate addresses form the main home.”
Is modular the same as prefab?
“Not exactly. Modular is the process of building and delivering a home in several smaller components.”
Is this like a mobile home?
“Absolutely not. An Abodu is installed on a concrete foundation and permanently connected to utilities.”
