Two-Story 1BR/1BA | Carriage House
This carriage house floorplan with one bedroom over a two-car garage below it offers a great solution if you are tight on space and also want to provide garage parking for a future tenant or family member.
Also known as a carriage house or carriage home, adding an ADU above a garage can preserve parking while also adding living space.

The Encinitas ADU Guide
We have many projects in Encinitas and we know the city’s regulations and processes very well. Encinitas has some of the lowest permitting fees in the area, averaging just $2-4 per square foot of space for ADUs. 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. Also, while much of Encinitas is located in the coastal zone, ADUs are typically exempt from extensive coastal permit requirements, meaning there is little to no added time or cost for coastal.
