Under the Standard Plan Program, plans are designed by private licensed architects, and engineers to accommodate various site conditions. Plans are then reviewed and pre-approved by LADBS for compliance with the Building, Residential, and Green Codes. When the applicant selects an approved Standard Plan, LADBS staff will review site-specific factors for the specific site, including compliance with the Zoning Code and foundation requirements.
The following pre-approved ADU Standard Plan is owned by the City of Los Angeles and may be used by property owners free of charge. Please note that this pre-approved Standard Plan may not be approved for use in certain situations and/or site conditions.
