Building a Cottage ADU in the Coastal Zone

Building an ADU in the coastal zone is possible in most areas, but requirements vary depending on your local coastal program (LCP). In cities like Encinitas, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Imperial Beach, the process is generally straightforward with minimal additional permitting requirements. However, in San Diego, some projects may require extra time and expenses to comply with coastal development regulations. At SnapADU, our expertise in navigating the coastal approval process allows us to provide accurate guidance and tailored solutions, helping you bring your dream cottage ADU to life without unnecessary delays.
