## California ADU facts (apply across our service area)

- Cities must approve a complete ADU application ministerially (no public hearing) within 60 days.
- Detached ADUs up to 800 sq ft with 4-foot side/rear setbacks are allowed by right; most lots qualify for up to 1,200 sq ft.
- No added off-street parking can be required within half a mile of public transit.
- Owner-occupancy cannot be required for ADUs permitted through the end of 2025 — so an ADU can be a true rental-income property.
