869 sq ft ADU Plan – Permit Ready

This 869 sq ft single-story ADU plan with 1 bedroom and 1 bath is delivered as a permit-ready architectural plan set developed for California parcels under the state's detached ADU regulations (Government Code §65852.2 and §65852.22).

Architectural deliverables include the floor plan, four-sided exterior elevations, building cross-sections, and dimensioned framing intent for the roof and floor systems. The design is developed against the current California Residential Code (CRC) with structural detailing intended to follow ASCE 7 and the NDS for wood members.

Specific structural details — wall framing, sheathing, shear-wall locations, holdown selection, and connection design — are delivered through the optional Structural Set package and sized to the seismic site class and wind exposure of the specific parcel.

Foundation design is provided as a separate scope to match the right system to each site. Common alternates include slab-on-grade for stable parcels, shallow crawl-space on stem walls for expansive-clay or moisture-prone sites, and pier-and-grade-beam systems for hillside lots, soft soils, or any site where the geotechnical report identifies a need for deeper bearing.

The plan's 13.75 ft ridge height fits within California's standard 16-foot detached-ADU height limit on any standard parcel — no special transit or zoning eligibility required. Side and rear setbacks of 4 feet are respected, and the plan is designed for ministerial review under §65852.2. For sites with stricter local height overlays (HOAs, hillside districts), plan customization is available to lower the ridge further if needed.

Available optional services: PE-stamped structural calculations, plan customization for site-specific adaptations (roof slope, elevation, interior layout), custom foundation design sized to the geotechnical report, structural observation visits during framing and finish, and permit support tailored to jurisdiction-specific requirements.
