Today Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the launch of the ADU Standard Plan Program. This innovative initiative, administered by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, will streamline the permitting process for detached ADUs while giving homeowners a wide variety of pre-approved design options from which to choose.
This program is now available to all licensed architects and engineers who wish to participate. Once their ADU plans have been approved by LADBS, they will be listed on a dedicated website showing renderings and/or plans and elevations. The plans will remain the property of the design professional.
