Once initial planning is approved you can proceed with full plan review with Building and Engineering, and you will also need to submit for Coastal (CCC) review, which can be done concurrently. Every department (including planning) will continue to review the plans through every review cycle if there are any corrections required during the full plan check phase.

We were looking at ways to invest our money. My wife and I thought, why don't we build an ADU for rental income? Also, someday we can move into it. So it has multiple purposes.
