Petite ADU for Mom in Chula Vista
Davidson Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910
Homeowner Story: Bring aging family closer
Other Features: Covered porch
Built for his mother to move into, this homeowner took advantage of his accessible back lot and opted to build a petite 500 sqft ADU in the space available. Minimal modifications were made to this open, comfortable floor plan, but utilities were upgraded to accommodate a pool installation in the future. This necessitated various reinforcements on the foundation.

Navigating Chula Vista’s ADU requirements has some nuances, as they necessitate in-person plan check submissions and soils reports. These requirements add to the processing time and cost. Additionally, some areas of Chula Vista lie within the coastal zone, which may necessitate coastal development permits. Lastly, permit fees for units >750 SF are $20/SF, so plan accordingly for larger units. More about permit fees.
