ADU-Granny Flat

Taking Care of Family, Creating Income

California has recognized the burden of housing shortage statewide. The scarcity inflates rental costs eliminating affordability. It disproportionately effects lower income families, students and others. The impact cascades into longer commutes adding to costs, pollution and quality of life. In 2017 Calif reacted to impose statewide mandates for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) otherwise known as Granny Flats. The statewide mandate removes barriers and reduces overall costs for permitting and construction. These mandates override local building ordinance regulations. Construction of ADUs were impaired from numerous requirements like parking, setbacks, and unreasonable construction costs normally associated with new construction. Numerous bills passed in 2017 & 2018 that significantly improved the viability and cost reductions saving tens of thousands of dollars.
