- No additional off-street parking can be required when the property is within half a mile of public transit.
- Owner-occupancy cannot be required for ADUs permitted through the end of 2025, making an ADU a true rental-income option.

Local know-how
Why homeowners build in Pomona
Pomona pairs strong rental demand — driven by Cal Poly Pomona and Western University — with a wide range of established neighborhoods, making it one of the most versatile ADU markets we serve. We have built here for families creating a safe, single-story home for aging parents while also adding future rental income, and the process felt, in one homeowner’s words, smooth with no stress whatsoever.
From the historic homes of Lincoln Park to the larger lots in the north and the neighborhoods near the colleges, Pomona offers real flexibility on size and placement. Single-story, accessible designs are especially popular here for multigenerational living, and we design them for genuine independence.
At just five miles from our Upland office, Pomona projects get fast, attentive service.

Good to know
Pomona ADU questions, answered
Yes — accessible, single-story ADUs are one of the most popular builds we do in Pomona, giving aging parents a private, safe home while staying close to family.
Very much so. Demand from Cal Poly Pomona and Western University supports steady rental interest, and current law does not require owner-occupancy for ADUs permitted through 2025.
The City of Pomona Planning Division reviews ADU applications, and Backyard Estates handles the entire process for you.
