In Encinitas, the client's vision for a large custom one-bedroom layout resulted in an expansive living space. The addition of a spacious porch, accessible through large sliding glass doors, enhances the livable area and provides a charming outdoor retreat. The homeowners have big plans for this space, intending to reside in the ADU during their frequent trips to the area, while other family members occupy the main house. The property is on septic, so they homeowners also had a new septic system designed and installed to accommodate the ADU.
Floor Plan:
SnapADU 2BR/2BA 31×30 L-Shape
Great for roommates, this dual master also includes hall access to one of the bathrooms. Optional patio space off of the great room in the courtyard space.

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.
