Sunray Place, Casa de Oro-Mount Helix, CA 91941
Homeowner Story: Bring aging family closer
Special Circumstance: Septic
This impressive 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plan encompasses 999 square feet of living space. Its standout feature is a striking window wall that not only maximizes panoramic views but also floods the interior with natural light. Built specifically for the homeowners’ parents, this thoughtfully designed layout aims to provide a harmonious living environment where comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal seamlessly intertwine. The ADU will also require a new septic system.
“We appreciate all the care and attention each of you have contributed toward the build of our ADU. My parents can’t wait to move in and get settled in their new home! Thanks again for all your help in getting us to this point!” – The Smith Family, Homeowners in La Mesa

The La Mesa ADU Guide
At SnapADU, our accessory dwelling unit expertise extends throughout the Greater San Diego area, including La Mesa. We’ve efficiently permitted ADUs in this city and have extensive knowledge of La Mesa’s regulations and processes. La Mesa allows for digital submissions with a clear tracking system. Turnaround times at the city are relatively quick and the city staff is very helpful.
La Mesa ADU Fee Waiver Program
In La Mesa, a fee for the plan review is assessed based on several factors, including the floor area of the proposed adu, whether or not the adu will be attached or detached, and whether you will be converting an existing garage into an ADU. Projects that only propose an ADU are exempt from park fees and the first ADU is exempt from Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) fees. Additional units are required to pay the applicable impact fees. As an added incentive for homeowners to pursue ADU projects, the City of La Mesa will waive the first $2000 of permitting fees associated with ADU projects.
Does La Mesa have Pre-Approved ADU Plans?
No, La Mesa has not published pre-approved ADU plans. However, the city put out an ADU Guidebook, which can be accessed through their La Mesa ADU guidelines page. That guide includes several inspirational floorplans. See more about pre-approved ADU plans. You can also see our build-ready plans.
