These San Diego property owners opted to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for their own use while their family moves into the primary home. The 672 sqft ADU was based on a Snap Standard plan featuring two bedrooms of equal size, one bathroom with hall access, and an open-concept kitchen/living area. However, small customizations were made to ensure the residents' comfort. One bedroom was extended by a foot- thus making it the primary bedroom- alongside other minor changes per their specifications.
Floor Plan:
SnapADU 2BR/1BA 32×21 Long
This small 2BR unit is for those looking to maximize a limited footprint. The open layout allows for a living and dining area, but could also be extended in any direction to add more space. This unit features a laundry room with optional sink.

Our quick take on San Diego: Moderately ADU-Friendly
SnapADU has permitted or is in the process of permitting numerous projects within the City of San Diego. As such, we know the city's regulations and processes very well. Turnaround times at the city are protracted right now, with the intake process alone taking 20+ days (as of September 2022). This process include a pre-screen and plan check fee component before plans will be reviewed, and the overall permitting timeline is currently expected to be 6-8 calendar months for permitting. San Diego requires digital submissions which helps keep costs and permit turnaround times down. Also, some of San Diego is in the coastal zone, which may add additional time and cost to the permitting process.
