With over 5,000 ADU permit applications being submitted in Los Angeles in each of the past 3 years and over 19,000 since 2015, ADUs are a critical pipeline for adding housing to the city. The launch of the Los Angeles Pre-Approved ADU Standard Plan Program seeks to help accelerate ADU development to new heights.

“This program is about making ADUs more accessible, more affordable, and more beautiful: and making them part of the blueprint of our efforts to tackle our housing crunch and create more affordable communities citywide,” – Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti, March 2021.
