Status: Completed
For this client, we demolished an existing garage and are building a new 2-car garage with a 610 square foot ADU above it.
Construction included an exposed stairway, second-story deck, and full sliding glass doors. The coastal home will have a beautiful view of its surrounding neighborhood, thanks to the upward expansion accomplished in this build.

Our quick take on Encinitas: ADU-Friendly
We have many projects in Encinitas and we know the city's regulations and processes very well. Turnaround times at the city are very slow now due to short staffing. However, their digital submissions process is easier than most cities and fees are negligible. We are also seeing fewer requirements for minor use permits in the coastal zone. Encinitas has also put out "permit ready" plans (PRADU), which some homeowners have found helpful as a starting place for their ADU designs. The greatest attribute of Encinitas is that nearly all plan check and building permit fees have been waived for ADUs.
